State Dept ‘Summer Family Travel’ Livechat Is NEXT-LEVEL Fuckup. Surprise! (Wonkette)

That Faceborg live chat was supposed to be at 10am EDT. Tips for obtaining passports, traveling with family, &c.

At the appointed time, no one from the State Department.

How can people be THIS BAD at their jobs?!?!? Did the State Department’s social media team really schedule a live discussion of “traveling with kids” while the media is showing babies snatched at the border and imprisoned in cages?

Happening soon! Join our colleagues from @TravelGov for a Facebook Live event at 10:00 a.m. ET to ask your questions about traveling with kids and to hear their tips to make traveling with the whole family easier. https://t.co/JRBPBChNju

Sadly, Carl and Kim were unavailable between 10 and 11 this morning. Were they washing their hair at the appointed hour? Did they just forget to show up and share their insights on not having your kids snatched by the government while crossing international borders?

Who the hell is in charge of social media at State anyway?

Oh, right.

One of Tillerson’s best hires!

Did we predict that hiring former Fox loon Heather Nauert as State Department Spokesliar would be a debacle? WE DID. But who could have anticipated this kind of next level fuck up?
