.@SecPompeo in Panama and Mexico now. No US Ambassador in either country. In Panama John Feely resigned because of differences with Trump administration. Same for Roberta Jacobson from Mexico. Earlier this week Pompeo was in Saudi Arabia & Turkey, both without Ambassadors
Every day in I read something that makes me realize how far GOP gangrene has spread through the body politic. President Bone Saw continues to destroy the very skeleton of our foreign policy establishment. In the scheme of things, such as calling for violence against the press, the above fact pales but it does show how complicit the GOP has been in allowing the death of American foreign relations to proceed at break neck speed.

(82,849 posts)All these nations without U.S. ambassadors. As your hero Dick Cheney might say, "So?" Are you concerned that the State Department is being hollowed out? Or that in a crisis the self-proclaimed Stable Genius might not be equal to the task? Or are you lauding the Trump administration for cutting personnel costs in the face of the rapidly-mounting deficit? Or are you simply making a record so that months or years from now you can vindicate yourself from critics who say you were far too accommodating of the corrupt bunch of bandits that is the Trump administration?
