Here is probably the most interesting part of the article.
It is common policy, however, that politically appointed ambassadors resign at the start of a new administration. It is less common to have no replacements in line.
As many as 80 ambassadors for countries, agencies and issues - such as the ambassador for global women’s issues - have been discarded at once.
The move now threatens leaving many countries without Senate-confirmed envoys for months and cutting off a direct line to the President, and some in countries which have sensitive relations to the US.
Wait… seriously?
Seriously and it’ll take a while to fill those spots.
Ugh!
And this is traditionally routine. But of course the orange shitbag has to be the only one to give no exceptions even tho their are no ambassadors coming in at this time.
