Not putting in politics because I expect a visit from Harold in this thread. The headline is just too good to let lie.  =D

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Who else is reminded of the Simpson's episode where Sideshow Bob frames Krusty?

"Big shoes to fill.  Big shoes to fill."
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Well, he's just the one to do it.

I'm sure that the interior decorating at the state dept will improve now  =D
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

hillary was almost the worst Sec State we have ever had.  Others in the running for that 'honor' would include Cyrus Vance, Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright, Warren Christopher, Alex Haig, Edmund Muskie, and William Jennings Bryant.
Come to think of it, we have had damn few GOOD ones.  Amazing.

Our very first Secretary of State set a pretty high bar for those who followed.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
