Remarkably stupid and short-sighted.
In other words, just what we might have expected.
That is not at all unreasonable. His Pestilence has a lot of favours to pay back and he needs to send Katrina Pierson to some far-away country before she causes a scandalā¦
Again, the difference between political bed wetting and governance.
Charming people, these Trumpians. Stupid, moronic and idiotic tooā¦but charming.
Yeah, Malaria and Barren have to stay in NYC because she doesnāt want to disrupt his school year (and subject him to constant humiliation when he tries to fit in at Sidwell Friends) but these ambassadorsā kids? F*ck 'em!
ETA: Apparently Pepe went on a tweet tantrump about Arnold and the rebooted Apprentice getting low ratings. Seriously, is this what weāve become?
Howās Russia play in this? If Trumpās dumping Russian OR Ukranian, or for that matter ANY sensitive-location diplomat even as he is suspected of passive treason, it will only remove the word āpassiveā from that label in the minds of real patriots.
Is this part of Putinās plan? Can ANYONE name another beneficiary of such willful mis-governance?
Do the dupes surrounding Trump even care? Do they realize theyāve been had by a foreign power?
Don and his gang are just beyond stupid. This idiot Don is so incompetent and so unfit for the job - kicking out all the diplomats at once - no replacementsā¦ Don is just too unstable and too unfit for the jobā¦ What a complete a@@hole! and insane. He is just insane!
I forgot how much I loathe the feeling of hating the president.
It doesnāt really matter. The embassy will be taken over by the DCM who is a Foreign Service professional. This is merely a symbolic gesture by Trump to prove what an asshole he is ā in case anyone was still in doubt.
Heartless Trump or Trump the heartless. My new name for Trumpo the clown.
Letās all pray he sends her somewhere unstable. How about Libya?
ETA: yes, I am ashamed of myself. Sort of.
I donāt see this as a big deal. Heās pulling diplomats that are ceremonial. They are plum positions for donors. Sometimes incoming administration will let them serve beyond the 20th, accommodate childrenās school schedule, etc.
Seriously, is this what weāve become?
Yes. You were expecting the Vulcan High Council?
No, Iām expecting the Klingon High Council - a fine combination of viciousness, infighting, and backstabbing.
This is what we have become. I now understand how Romans felt upon the arrival of Emperor Commodus.
āYou have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.ā

About 30 percent of ambassadors appointed by President Obama have been political appointees, according to Politico.
I guess Trumpski doesnāt want them having any official contact with foreign governments once he takes over. The new ones will take loyalty oaths and sign NDAās.
Also nice,especially in winter
As I posted in another thread ā the Apprentice thingy is todayās topic, NOT the intel briefing about Russia heās receiving.
Oh, I donāt know. It may be cold, but it looks pretty stable. I was thinking more of somewhere sheād have to wear body armor or something. To match her jewelry.
