I won’t disagree, although the ambassador to Israel is a shitshow too.
(Unless they changed him since last I looked, although if so, the new one is no doubt incompetent and completely partisan too)

Another in a long line of ‘Acting’ appointments, which bypass the Senate’s role of confirming nominees or not.
The Senate has effectively ceded some of their authority to Agent Orange. Would this Republican led Senate allow Democratic President similar running room? I doubt it. They’d be screaming like Joni Earnst’s pigs

How will the CIA react to him? I am imagining that they will be building a wall around him within the organization. They know how to do that. He appears to be stupid enough not to realize that there’s a wall around him. After the wall they will keep him busy with non-essentials.

Mr. Grenell has repeatedly attacked the refugee policy of Chancellor Angela Merkel. His style put off other officials and ultimately isolated him, the German publication Der Spiegel reported last year. “The powerful avoid him,” the newsmagazine wrote. “Doors have been shut.”
Doors will be shut in the US too.

I suspect that you are confusing him with Rob Porter. It’s hard to distinguish one asshole from another.

There are plenty of gay men willing to work for Trump, self-respecting or not. There is Lindsay Graham to begin with.

This is a hugely overlooked thing. Trump’s appointees are typically so awful on their faces that that gets all the attention. But it’s also a problem that they’re massively incompetent. It would be very bad if he was a J. Edgar Hoover type who would look the other way at white supremacist extremism; but he and a lot of others in this administration are fucking up everything, leaving us exposed to every national security threat. And of course some of those, like Russia, they actually invite.

“Grenell is a longtime GOP political operative and former aide to Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) who made a habit of enraging the German government as ambassador in part due to his stated desire to “empower” the right in the country.”
and now is confirmed that it was a racist attack. This is the right that Grenell wants to empower

Mitch’s only dream is about his own power. Everything else is meaningless. As long as this keeps him in power, he doesn’t give a crap. To ascribe to MoscowMitch anything more than greed and power is just a waste of time and energy.

So this is the same ambassador who made it his job to contact and elevate the white supremacist elements all over Europe. I was wondering if it was the same person. I keep hoping that the units of the CIA involved in black ops would put their skills to better use than going after people who aren’t bothering anyone.

Black ops.
Benedict Donald, at it still.
Thank you GOP Senators.
If ten of you had voted to remove the dangerous orange fecal wad, we’d all be laughing at SNL’s portrayal of jocular old Mike Pence right now.

In other OMG news, Donald Trump is rubber and you’re glue and anything you say bounces off him and sticks to you, because our president is the most incredible asshole you’ve ever heard of:

Evidently Grenell will remain ambassador to Germany and also be DNI, so you have cause for optimism on that.
THerE is LITERALLY noboDY more QUALIFIED to BE dNI than Grenell. As a FOx news CONTRIBUter and KushNER confidaNT, he hAS been marinatinG in Intelligence fOR YEARS.
“…I am imagining that they will be building a wall around him within the organization. They know how to do that…”
Plus, they may not let him in on really sensitive matters, for fear he’ll spill it to Putin. Or Trump will.

By order from Putin. Installing the right all over Europe and the US is one of his goals.
