Yet Another Break from Common Decency
Cheeto Jesus has done it again. I know, I know, we keep saying unprecedented, but in yet another unprecedented move, CJ has ordered ALL foreign ambassadors, regardless of current foreign negotiations or personal family situations, to abandon their posts no later than, uh…urp, inauguration day. Even though new ambassadors may take MONTHS to confirm, posts in key countries like the UK, Germany, Russia, and others will be empty on January 20th. The State Department, during both Democratic and Republican administrations, has always carefully managed transitions between ambassadors, especially when there are sensitive negotiations and personal family issues at play. Not so with incoming tyrant, His Orangeness, Cheeto Jesus. He’s ordering ALL diplomatic posts to be abandoned day one regardless of circumstance. With each passing day, CJ is proving himself not just to be an ignorant, arrogant ass (sorry, Momma), but intentionally weakening the US’s influence around the world. If I didn’t know better, I would be thinking that he’s trying to hand world power over the V. Putin and the Bolsheviks in Moscow.
Oh, wait…
Wake me in 2020. If we’re still here.
1Well, you recall that his favorite catch phrase during the campaign was “only I…” I’m pretty sure he’s thinking only he can run the country, but I’m hoping he’ll learn different pretty fast.
Besides, can he order such a thing while Mr. Obama is still in charge?
2The most dangerous drivers out there are the ones who seem to think that they’re playing a video game and the rest of us are just blips on a screen.
Now we’re going to have a president of the United States who thinks that being president is a reality TV show.
WHO thought this was a good idea…?
And the RWNJs claim that Obama ruined America.
Just read a WashPost story that the GOP is happy to add a trillion dollars to the deficit just so they can kill Obamacare. It may rip health coverage away from 20 million people and bloat up that deficit the GOP was ready to shut the government down for, but it’s a chance to give Obama the finger and that’s ALL that matters.

3Juanita you gave trumpkin way to much credit! He is so far worse than you can imagine! When they claimed Hillary was Satan, I still voted for her as Satan is still 1000000% better then the trumpkin!
4Can you imagine what the security dudes were thinking yesterday when they appeared before the committee? My bet is that they are convinced that Trump is Putin’s bitch. When they meet with CJ in person, will they have the gumption to tell him to his face? Believe me, Trump is a marked man. All the security agencies will be only to happy for the sake of this country to help get this guy impeached. No wonder CJ took the precaution of hiring his own personal guard. They could be a great help to him as he tries to flee the country.
5Considering all those orders that have come out of the transition team such as the one sent to the Energy Department with the ever so obvious intent of cleaning house, it is not a huge surprise that the ambassadors have now also gotten the same treatment. However, they serve by the privilege of the President, the one that is actually sworn in, not the one waiting backstage in the Green Room. Protocol is protocol. Its in writing and has been legal from forever. They have to transition the replacement. They can’t do that if they are not available. Just another way that CJ wants to run and ruin this country.
6Maggie, did you forget to add “ce” to “flee” in #5?
7Is this even remotely legal? What happens to the embassies? I’m sure all the xenophobes think this is a grand plan!
8Oh.. CJ will change his mind. One of these days though, he might do something where he can’t change his mind. I hope I’m far away when that happens.
9This isn’t a transition. It’s a purge.
Though it does seem that Trump truly wants to represent his constituency, who also have no respect whatsoever for them furriners.
10As Michael Moore said….He is going to get us all killed.
11I think this Salon needs to create a system. Wapo’s fact checkers have Pinochios. Politifact has the meter that goes to “Pants on Fire.” TWMDBS needs a system for rating the level of cruelty and stupidity of his statements. Maybe we call them “Trumpkins 1-10?”
I’d call his repeated vow that Mexico will pay for his wall a 5 because it’s really stupid, but not likely to get anyone killed or screw up international relations.
12This one? An 8 because leaving embassies empty except for maintenence people and guards has potential to do lots of damage nationally and internationally. Plus, it could lead to war.
Debbo, right on! The war scenario I first thought of was the attempted capture of an embassy in China during the Boxer Rebellion (I think that was the one). It went to a fight to the finish garrisoned by all remaining personnel, civilian and military, to defend it until help arrived from all the nations represented in the defense. Anyone who wants to imagine this scenario any further can take it from here!
13Without Ambassadors in place and without Washington security agencies in place we have no real security. We can expect to have a “hit” on this country or on Embassy’s soon, and CJ will be off visiting the wizzard when it happens.
