These career diplomats, showing what integrity really is.

Not that the Dear Leader and the other Trumpsters will recognize it. Or what a loss it is to this country that these professionals feel the need to leave to maintain their integrity.

Well lucky for trump he has a real no-backbone corporate tool in Terry Braindead to toe the line as Ambassador. And that Ahole will probably leave the administration untouched by any of the scandals and reclaim the governorā€™s mansion again. He and Grassley never, ever go away.

He served the entirety of Dubyaā€™s time in office, but he couldnā€™t last six months of Trumpā€¦and I donā€™t blame him.

Yes, but with 1 Trump day = 1 Obama year, itā€™s Monday in 2172.

@inversion Will the Governor-for-Life ever take his post in Beijing, or is he going to keep the corn and soy company a little while longer?

From that Politco article

Climate change is an issue, he added, but itā€™s a global one driven by countries such as China that are heavily polluting.

"We need to recognize this climate change issue is a global issue," he said. "We also need to respect as we try to deal with that on an international basis the need for our country to be competitive and be able to attract good-quality, high-paying jobs

Steve Wormtongue Bannon will convince the Tangerine Turd that it is just another Obama rat deserting the ship while Kushner fills the position with someone from the sales department at his company who can then offer ā€œa condo plus a free visaā€ deals ā€œwith the full backing of the US government.ā€ I bet if you asked El Presidente Naranja Mentiroso or Tillerless about the man, his work and his resignation, they would be clueless.

Trump: My policies are the hallmark of a small government. I speak and people quit. Tax Payers have saved Billions.

Have fun in China, Terryā€¦not quite Iowa but then you wonā€™t actually represent the US over there will you?

Itā€™s a disgrace that China had stolen all of our child labor jobs. Itā€™s time to bring those jobs back to the USA for American children. MAGA.

ETA: sorry thatā€™s kinda weak tea, but I havenā€™t said anything for a while.
