Friend of mine's brother is a State Department puke, high enough to deal personally with the elite upper-echelon on a regular basis. When it became apparent B/W '21 was going to happen, he put in his resignation - effective date 01/19/21. He wanted out the day before the inauguration just in case the incoming admin tried to do something stupid like EO him out of a pension.
I can't really quote him because his effectiveness at his job is only exceeded by his ability to swear but I can come up with a reasonable summation. "Nothing but fairy dust and unicorn farts among the whole lot. Not a single constructive idea, just a bunch of 'All Conservatives are Redneck Nazis' bullshit that the Rainbow Coalition and Free Stuff crowd are sucking down like a back-alley hooker on a trash can full of coke. He could come out on a motorized bed pan, ass-up, drooling, and wearing a bedazzled butt plug, and the whole bunch would trample each other just to kiss his nut sack."
Sucks because he spent a long time getting where he is and has earned every ounce of the considerable respect he commands. Will be nice to get to see him more, though. He's funny as hell, especially when he and his brother go at each other. Prime him with a little Weller and sit back. Just be prepared to be sore the next day from laughing.
