I would not be surprised to see a similar exodus from the Pentagon.
Trump just be just the kind or President who,without any military experience, likes to play general and, in a conflict situation, gets people killed.

It will be the best thing to happen to him. Cleaning these places out since the Clinton administration!

His plan all along maybe?

A leftist view!


I'm only going by what you say.

Hilarious
There isn't a leftist alive who doesn't say this.

See, I explain to you why it's pointless and, apparently, even that's 'leftist' (you still haven't told me what you mean by that.)

Given that anyone who disagrees with you is a 'leftist' and you dismiss the views of 'leftists' out of hand, what would be the point in having any dialogue with you at all? It seems you don't want a dialogue, you just want an echo chamber.

And somehow you think these agendas aren't politically motivated? The left has politicized every diplomatic corp we have. Now it's our turn. ;)

I fully understand that you want to destroy our international relationships because you think it will annoy some people you don't know but assume you won't like.

He's not doing PM Theresa May any favours. No sooner does she start grovelling to him in the best "special relationship" mode, than he starts sounding off about "worse" torture, just before she's due to perform a deferential ceremonial visit to her new Hegemon. Embarrassing. Makes him look like a total barbarian. That's not very nice.

The President of Mexico must be cross too. I hope Putin's phoned to reassure Trump he's still got a friend left.

Did you think I couldn't find that again? It was just two weeks ago.

Now address what I posted, and post your own results.

I have found that generally speaking, those incapable of independent thinking cannot conceptualize the fact that others can.

The thing is that there are no replacements. Historically, for jobs like this the old guys keep working until the new guys come in. It would be different if Trump said "I'm bringing in my own team." But he doesn't have a team.

Well.....not yet. But....he'll make a new team. A great team. Believe me.



And we can judge him by the results. It's too late to prevent it. We'll just see how it works.

With Ringling Brothers shutting down, I'm sure that Trump can find plenty of people just as qualified as his other appointees.

No? I suppose I can refuse to take your test. I'd rather go on what people say, you might have not been quite honest in your answers. ;)

Maybe they were all really "political appointees".

keeping good relationships with other nations is a partisan policy Democrats have shoved down the throat of the American people.
High time we piss off everyone and pretend that we are the only nation on earth, just as God intended.

Unfortunately a goodly percentage of the country would agree with that.

We might never know the true results, especially if we have to depend on the White House for accurate reports. But this affects the lives of every State employee, every American who travels abroad, and U.S. international interests. And the thing is that it's not at all necessary. Government agencies have plenty of experience at accommodating a smooth transition. Pres Obama went to great lengths to assure that Pres Trump would enjoy a smooth transition. There's no reason why Trump can't treat other government employees (and he is a government employee) the same way.

Jesus, what's he going to be like if he has to handover after the next election, one termed and reviled?

Of course you can. But you might learn a thing or two about yourself if you took the test.

Since I took the test in order to find out where the website put me on the chart, it would've been monstrously stupid of me to do that. These results are from last Novembre, the second time I took the test, to confirm the first results. Turns out I had drifted slightly to the right in the intervening year.
