More lulz. The US has no ambassadors. Trump fired them all without replacements.

Man I'm glad I have plenty of popcorn.

Oh, link

How many times do we have to go through this? Political appointees have no reason to expect to have a job after a new President takes office. The ambassadors who were appointed have not been retained under the new administration. All the ambassasors were NOT fired and the OP should know this.

Irresponsible fvck. So I guess any incidents in a foreign country that call for our attention just get put on hold.

It falls to the Charge d' Affairs, the senior civil service employee at the Embassy. They don't have the same clout as an Ambassador.

The end of the world as we know it. What, oh what is the United States ever going to do without ambassadors for awhile? Just think if Hillary had won she'd let ISIS kill them off.

I didn't vote for her either, but ambassadors are like a thing and they do handy stuff for our nation and US citizens abroad. That's why Presidents don't fire them unless they have others ready as replacements. Well that used to be the case. This seems to be the most unprepared President in my lifetime and that goes back some ways.

True, but it's hardly earthshaking if ones not around for a short while, we still have staff etc. to take care of citizens.
