dunno. maybe we no longer need ambassadors? Nowadays, Ambassadors are nothing more than appointed donors who attend parties and ceremonies. They used to be extensions of the government when communication wasn't as instantaneous as it is today. Maybe it's time to do away with it considering modern technology.
No its about dominance- the USA has a FOOT in your back door - is he planning on closing the embassies? would NOT surprise me --as he thinks the world should take of itself.
Making such a comparison highlights TDS and the inability to process information in a logical way when Trump lives in the head of liberals.
Obama stays in D.C. so his kid can finish or attend school and there is no outcry from liberals until Trump does it.
This doesn't even make sense?
Obama, a will be private citizen, is free to do as he pleases. Trump, the President, will be sending us the bill so his kid can stay in his posh private school for the semester while simultaneously telling those below him, "sucks to be you but I have a point to make so my base can get riled up."
well, all presidents choose new ambassadors... so all of them, I guess.
Stop and Frisk was effective. Plain and Simple.
Not really. What was effecting in curbing crime in NYC was the rising cost of living, and gangs going out to New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Gentrification was a factor. Or do alot of people forget that NYC borders two other states? Most of the people being stopped and frisked weren't breaking any laws. Alot of racial profiling came from it.
Murder rates were dropping alot before stop and frisk was put into place. And all S&F leads to is violation of the 4th Amendment. Unreasonable Search and Seizure. Benjamin Franklin said that anyone who sacrifices essential liberties for temporary security will get neither.
Well, I don't know how ambassadors are chosen. I figure it works the same way as the military. Being assigned a post.
Obama is renting a house for a year. What's the issue? He has to live somewhere. He and his family will have SS protection regardless.
Melania and Barron staying in NYC is costing NYC a fortune, and the Feds so far have agreed to only cover 20% of it.
I don't think Melania and Barron will ever move to the WH. Either the Trumps will divorce and that will be the excuse, or they will say Barron is autistic and needs to stick with his current school in NY. And all the Trumpettes will fall over themselves talking about how brave the Trumps are having to deal with Barron's autism.
PC being now out of fashion, is Barron fair game for ridicule?
The other thing which is very strange is the fact that in many cases being an ambassador is a career, not just one 3 year assignment, so when an ambassador finishes one assignment they are assigned to the next. In this case it seems Trump is firing them all, without new assignments. Why? Some of these guys might have served in US embassies since Reagan admin.
Does he think all ambassadors are Obama's political puppets? Was Jon Huntsman, Jr. Obama's puppet?
No, the terms are 3 years, and they certainly do not expire on inauguration day. You won't be able to name any other president who purged all ambassadors on day 1.
For foreign career ambassadors, generally. Presidential appointees expire upon inauguration. They can be dismissed at anytime by the president.
what? said who? ever did a military move? it's no different- they have personal stuff- items- furnishings and maybe kids in classes- what the f he care? just evict them- 15 day notice-- even we require 30 day notices- in a regualr rental move- - a.h.
I don't think you need to bring much in the way of furniture to Winfield House (the Official UK Residence of the US Ambassador), it is fully furnished already.
As for being moved, you expect it in High Public Office and in the the military, however you can generally claim expenses and most Ambassadors keep their home in the US whilst having an official residence.
