The obvious career path for Lawler now is the Trump Border Gestapo…
You just can’tmake this shit up. Seriously.
“Certainly in the topsy-turvy world of diplomacy, having a stout piece of leather in your hand is quite often… useful”
There’s more animation in that picture then in any one I’ve seen since Trump began to run. It could be Botox, but I think she’s probably dead inside by now.
Will he be taking the shiny black boots and brown shirt in the closet with him?
That was my first thought when I heard about the whip. Maybe Trump can hire this guy for his campaign as Chief Morale Booster.
I don’t understand the hoopla. Clearly, the office needed to be whipped into shape.
Ah, those were the good old days!

her mouth doesn’t look in proportion - a little off somehow
The head of PROTOCOL? The one diplomat who is most concerned with making encounters with other countries’ officials as courteous and conflict-free as possible?
Jeez, where DO they get these people? I mean, you could get a kindergarten teacher who would do a better job at helping people get along. (In fact, that might be a good choice.) Instead of someone interested in form and communication and dignity, they get a thug who wants to intimidate?
Well, that’s Trump’s idea of “the best people.”
Wonder how long walk softly and carry a big whip has been part of the hiring for State Dept. officials.
How long was this going on before it made it into the news?
You just can’t make this shit up.
