I don't think coli posters understand how much these decisions can effect your daily life.

You should NOT be anticipating fukkerry.

Thank you!!!!!
This shyt is not funny. Its actually very worrisome

I've been telling people that Americans are so detached from reality that they dont realize that these situations especially in the current state of geopolitics and global affairs is beyond volatile and unstable. This could lead to some serious and irreversible damage and lives lost.

'' He was confirming a report in the New York Times, which quoted diplomatic sources as saying previous U.S. administrations, from both major political parties, have traditionally granted extensions to allow a few ambassadors, particularly those with school-age children, to remain in place for weeks or months.'' (this was from the article you posted)

they were told Dec 23rd...so they have had almost a whole month.

I don't love Trump, but I have no problems putting ALL the facts out there rather than just rolling with partial truths or even #fakenews.

this hive mentality on thecoli is disturbing......

I'm a Foreign Service Officer currently working overseas. The ambassador in the country in which I'm stationed is still here and plans to come into work on Monday. He has not resigned or been dismissed.

FSOs are the U.S. diplomatic corps, and are career diplomats. There are also career diplomats with USAID, Treasury and other federal departments and agencies. There are a few ways to get in, but the way that most do (and what I did) was to sit for an exam, go to Washington for a day-long interview, pass medical and security clearances and wait. Mostly wait. FSOs spend their career on assignments in Washington and abroad that are usually two to four years long. About 70% of the U.S. ambassadors in the world are career diplomats who have spent many years as an FSO in Washington and abroad.

All U.S. ambassadors are nominated by the President, and then confirmed by the Senate. That includes the FSOs and the political appointees. Sometimes confirmation can take months, often not due to any fault of the appointee.

All ambassadors are required to offer their resignation to the President (or President-Elect) after Election Day. By custom, the President generally only accepts the resignation offers from the political appointee ambassadors and allows the career ambassadors to continue in their tour. In some presidential transitions, exceptions have been made on a case-by-case basis for certain ambassadors to stay after Inauguration Day, but President Trump and his team decided not to do that in this case, as is their right. In some cases, there are nominations for replacements, but in some cases, there are not at this point.

All embassies are led by the ambassador, and her or his deputy is called the Deputy Chief of Mission. DCMs handle the day-to-day running of the embassy. When the ambassador is out of country, the DCM acts as acting chief of mission. When there is no ambassador, as there will be in these countries in which political appointee ambassadors are gone, the DCM will be acting chief of mission for many weeks or months. During that time, the DCM is given the formal title of chargee d'affairs. Any DCM is going to be a well experienced FSO or other career diplomat, and many of them may be ambassadors at their next post.

i have not chimed in much at all about this past election because it would have been like pissing in an ocean.

i will comment on this issue.
sending ambassadors blind into these countries without giving
them the benefit of learning as much as possible from the person
they are replacing is worse than irresponsible.
it's completely counter-intuitive to throw away such a valuable
pre existing asset that will make the jobs of these new ambassadors
so much easier to transition into.

how long before these people are replaced?
are these embassies going to be staffed at all?
are we taking steps to insure they are not tampered with?
what if something pops off in Stanstanistan and there is no one
on the ground to be our eyes, ears and mouth?
when is Ja Rule going to explain all of this the trump?

Trump is the woat already its unquestionable already if I hear another white person try to say Obama is the worst which obviously he is not it will be followed by over 5 minutes of laughter from me.

soo..tell me all you know about Ambassadors??? and how important they really are.

maybe you can explain to us all how those positions are usually given to ppl that "buy" their way in to that spot.

So you want to be a US ambassador? Here’s what it will cost you

The appointment of Colleen Bell to the ambassadorship of Hungary has been a point of contention in this regard. Bell produced The Bold and the Beautiful, a soap opera that has won 40 Daytime Emmys, which is great, but hardly requires a particular knowledge of Central European culture, languages, or politics. Bell, however, was a major fundraiser for president Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, and—as part of a long, storied tradition of rewarding top supporters with plum ambassadorial gigs—she has been recompensed accordingly.

Bell is not alone. In fact, based on a report compiled by The New York Times, many of Obama’s top campaign fundraisers have received fancy diplomatic appointments, likely to the consternation of a few State Department lifers, bouncing between placements in Armenia, Fiji, and Nepal.

Here, Quartz has compiled a list of recent appointments graded by how much money each ambassador raised for the 2012 Obama campaign:

1. Denise Bauer, US ambassador to Belgium: $2,360,300
2. Matthew Barzun, US ambassador to the United Kingdom: $2,312,509
3. Colleen Bell, US ambassador to Hungary: $2,101,635
4. Rob Barber, US ambassador to Iceland: $1,687,219
5. John Emerson, US ambassador to Germany: $1,562,350
6. Suzi LeVine, US ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein: $1,515,493
7. Robert Sherman, US ambassador to Portugal: $1,386,770
8. Noah Mamet, US ambassador to Argentina: $1,374,003
9. Jane Hartley, US ambassador to France and Monaco: $1,353,200
10. Mark Gilbert, US ambassador to New Zealand: $1,232,988
11. James Costos, US ambassador to Spain and Andorra: $1,124,925
12. James Brewster, US ambassador to the Dominican Republic: $1,121,027
13. Kirk Wagar, US ambassador to Singapore (not mapped): $1,117,000
14. Bruce Heyman, US ambassador to Canada: $1,012,800
15. Pam Hamamoto, US ambassador to UN headquarters in Geneva (not mapped): $1,011,654

Donald Trump 'orders Barack Obama's ambassadors to resign their posts'
It is common policy, however, that politically appointed ambassadors resign at the start of a new administration. It is less common to have no replacements in line.

So this says nothing about ambassadors, and everything about how Donald Trump is an idiot.

"You, leave your post!"
"I was going to anyway, Donald."
"No it's because I tell you! I'm strong! Obama sucks!"
"Donald, we were doing this anyway. You need to have people lined up."

fukking idiot.

Are you also in all of the pro Trump threads putting out all the facts, or just the anti Trump ones? No dis, just a question.

Republicans support this too. They behind him. This is gonna be one fukked up presidency and i can see him winning it again because of how shyt America is.

I don't think he will run again if he makes these 4 years but get would probably will again if he did.
The bad possibility is his shyt brain son may run in 2020 I could easily see him campaigning
