I was just browsing wikipedia and saw: In February 2017, United States Ambassador to the United Nations [Nikki Haley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikki_Haley) (also a former South Carolina governor) nominated Beasley to be the next Executive Director of the [World Food Programme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Food_Programme) (WFP).[[12]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Beasley#cite_note-12) [United Nations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations) Secretary-General [António Guterres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B3nio_Guterres) and U.N. [Food and Agriculture Organization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Agriculture_Organization) [José Graziano da Silva](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Graziano_da_Silva) appointed Beasley to the post in March 2017, saying the former governor brought “extensive experience with key governmental and business leaders and stakeholders around the world, with very strong resource mobilisation skills.”[[13]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Beasley#cite_note-13) Guterres also said Beasley had been among 23 applications/nominations for the position.[[14]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Beasley#cite_note-14) > **[David Beasley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Beasley)** > > Pages for logged out editors learn more > > > David Muldrow Beasley (born February 26, 1957) is an American politician and the Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme.

“4 more years! 4 more years!” I still find it utterly fascinating that human beings can muster the collective wisdom and intelligence to reach the moon but also hold contradictory concepts, like “The country is going to hell under Trump, so we should vote Trump to save us from Trump’s mistakes”. Also, is anybody else aghast at the strange way he takes his mask off with 2 hands? I guess it’s all a part with the weird way he drinks water or walks down ramps, but there’s something wrong with his motor function. ---

It’s only contradictory if you hold on to the outdated belief that Trump is President of all 50 United States. He and his supporters firmly believe that he is president of the Red States, and it’s his job to make war on the Blue States. ---

He and his supporters firmly believe that he is president of the Red States, and it’s his job to make war on the Blue States… I think you have hit the nail on the head. The message in these tweets is “California (New York etc) is going to hell. Elect me so we can continue to destroy these states.” ---

Absent a secession attempt, is it even possible for two parts of one country to go to war with each other? I’m curious because if not, that would seem to be a tacit admission that the Blue States are no longer part of the US, and are therefore free to form alliances with each other and/or other countries. (From a denizen of Far Northern California, on the border with Soviet Canuckistan.) ---

Oh no, they’re still part of the country but a subordinate part that gets no say in things and to which anything number of horrible things can be done in the name of liberty or patriotism or some such nonsense. Foreign alliances would simply be additional proof they should not be trusted and need to be brought to hell for the collective good. ---

85 years ago, Arizona & California nearly went to war over water rights. > **[Parker Dam | Controversy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Dam#Controversy)** > > Construction of the dam was a contentious issue for Arizona. Built as part of the larger Colorado River Compact of 1922, several political groups, their members and privately owned utility companies in Arizona were not pleased with the plan in general and refused to sign it until 1944. Even then Arizona continued to dispute its water allotments until a 1963 Supreme Court decision settled the issue. The court has had to adjust the agreement several times since, most recently in 2000. As recently ... ---

Oh no, wherever else would we get agricultural products? Only red state America holds the secret to growing vegetables and raising livestock. It is why we must continue to pay them to pretend to be coal miners and subsidize ethanol. ---
