it's the least important part of this story but yes of course the Democrats' well-compensated go-to Faith Adviser is a white Southern Baptist and not a representative of the many religious communities that actually support Democrats— slackbot (@pareene) January 28, 2018

I did wonder about that. (Actually, my first thought was "why tf does a Presidential candidate need a 'faith advisor'?")

Thoughtful people often display a consistent character. It's not a bad thing really. Totally unpredictable people are exhausting.

I say nothing about the quality of the thoughts. All those militia types who carry pocket constitutions show themselves to be thoughtful people, too. At least with thoughtful people you can figure out who you are dealing with and act accordingly.

“I view it as a national security threat that the State Department has been so decimated, and I don’t know what will happen with the nomination of Mike Pompeo to become the next secretary of state, but the one small glimmer of hope is when he went into the CIA, he only brought two people with him and he really relied on the career intelligence people,” Clinton said.
“If he will rebuild the State Department, and start listening to those who have very valuable experience, maybe we can work ourselves out of this hole we’re in,” she continued.

If she's stupid, it's that specialized kind of stupidity that often strikes the very bright, by convincing them they know so much they must always be more right than anyone else.

Is the State Department bad now?
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 18:41 (six years ago) link
How glib.
Hilary Clinton is in the process of helping Mike Pompeo become the highest diplomat in the world's most powerful country. He is an open islamophobe (and a bigot in various other ways) who has defended torture, wants to scrap the Iranian nuclear deal, and as CIA chief has met with conspiracy theorists pushing the theory that the phishing of democrat emails during the 2016 election was an inside job.
― Louis Jägermeister (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 20:34 (six years ago) link
Yeah yeah yeah Pompeo is horrible but the glibness is in the splinternewz link. And jfc we know the quotes in the story dont constitute “helping him become...”.. Also “State Department is bad actually” is a take the extremely online left has been flirting with lately with Pareene’s help.

i should say i don't really know if that's why and he gutted like civil servant orgs and some of that is prob carelessness and some is general hostility to civil service. but traditionally u want more options than just which bombers to deploy.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 21:11 (six years ago) link
Can’t be overstated how bad that article is. Pompeo sought help from Hillary and she said he should listen to real diplomats = “whoa Hillary loves Pompeo”.

It’s the old resistance canard: That it’s worse for Trump and his cronies to make the government less functional and more chaotic than it is for the fascist #Drumpf regime to have an efficient, well-oiled machine to enact its awful ideas. It is terrible that so many career diplomats have left the State Department but I have no idea how even a fully-staffed department under Pompeo would improve America or the world in the slightest.
god this writer is a fuckin' idiot
i wonder how many of the cynical clickbait twitter leftists writing and retweeting this bullshit could actually give you a detailed explanation of how anything works in the federal government

I have no strong feelings on this. Pompeo is slime but there's nothing at all surprising or noteworthy for HC to be taking his calls.
