Show competency?I would say I can't believe they did this, but of course I can. There is nothing these idiots could do that would surprise me.
Do you think she can romaine in her post?She's just Cos playing as press secretary.

THE. BEST. HAS. BEEN. AND. GONE!Guilfoyle has resigned her Ambassadorship.
I'm not sure. Because the defeat in her voice as she says "Venezuela" actually brings attention to something Trump claims as a success but which his appointment doubtsShe's doing her job perfectly. Everyone is distracted talking about her and not how much more this maladministration is f-ing over the country and the world.
Oh, but she's got to be guilty of something. They managed to get a search warrant for some BS reason. What more proof do you need?
She tried to Butter(head) him up, but her performance has hit an Iceberg, I'm afraid it's the Endive for her.Do you think she can romaine in her post?
The document that Elgin produced, approximately two years after the theft, to justify the theft was written in Venetian and pupotedly signed by the governor of Athens. All official documents of the Porte and its representatives was never produced nor could ever be shown to have existed.You may believe so, but it wasn't plunder. There are no 'forged' documents in evidence, the lack of original documents is not evidence of forgery. In retrospect we may know the Parthenon survived and Greece became an independent country. In Elgin's time it was possible that his actions were the best chance of survival of these artefacts. From an article advocating for the return of the marbles;

Elgin Marbles Restitution: The Case for Returning Them to Athens
A dissent from History Reclaimed's own line: why the ethical case for Elgin Marbles restitution outweighs retention, and why the Louvre escapes scrutiny.historyreclaimed.co.uk
In any case coming back to the thread; Trump would oppose the return, he is clearly a believer in possession justifying ownership, and the strong have the right of possession, viz Diego Garcia.![]()

She didn't give Rubio his cut, and the donor she tried to extort was much higher in the pecking order than her.Why? I because "improper" behaviour is too Presidential for a mere ambassador?
Imagine trying to be remotely credible, saying similar about any previous administration (except his first one)She didn't give Rubio his cut, and the donor she tried to extort was much higher in the pecking order than her.
Okay, we disagree on several points. Fair winds and following seas, sir.I don't follow what you mean about an exception.
The original comment was about statues of Columbus, and some people wanting removed because they don't think the European conquest of the Americas deserves heroic monuments.
The Elgin marbles aren't in the British museum as a monument to conquest. Arguably as a result of conquest, but they're not a symbolic celebration of it. And when they were in their original locations they weren't a monument to conquest either. Most of them, as I understand it, depict a mythical tale of a fight between men and centaurs, which broke out at a wedding.
She only answered six questions to three news outlets: Fox, Breitbart and Daily Mail. Methinks they're reverting back to Trump 1.0 when they dramatically reduced press briefings and eventually stopped them altogether. Heat is hot.
