#1 NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Damnitall. She had more backbone than any other squish in the UN.

Hopefully Trump appoints another fireplug and I hope to see her back in action somewhere else soon.

#6 I hope it's not some sort of medical issue.

#7 #4 BOLTON!!!!

Nah. Bolton's where he needs to be, helping to undo the policy nightmares of the last 3 admins. Move him to Sec State if/when Pompeo moves on. The "lamentations of their women" would be awesome.

If it was up to me, I'd take a page out of Caligula's playbook and send a horse. But I expect Trump will find someone who fights, as Haley did.

#9 Right on Percy. DPM is probably the last Dem I respected and liked. Can you imagine the deviancy DPM would have been fighting today?

#11 He really is the only man for the job.

#12 I guess I'm a heretic.

I don't like her, and I think she'd be a disaster in any leadership role.

#13 Well Charger, UN is a circus.

#14 Grom, if she sticks to those kinds of roles, fine, but I don't want her in any position of real power.

Her mouth writing checks her ass won't have to cash is exactly what she's good at.

She was a neverTrumper, she was bad on domestic issues (people bothered by toppled statues forget that her fecklessness was instrumental in the spread of that phenomenon) and making speeches at the hot air factory on Turtle Bay doesn't make up for all that, IMO.

And apparently, fighting back against libs online is unacceptable to her as well.

#15 I would like to see her and Sarah Sanders change roles, you know, when they get bored of their current jobs.

#16 I'm going to think outside the box here and suggest Kanye West. I can't imagine the crowds at the UN whenever he's there to give a speech.

#17 Well, she did (IMO) a good job at UN. And she is on our side!

#19 Besoeker, even though you forgot your sarcasm tag, you may have a good idea here. Jeff has been asleep long enough that he probably isn't aware we pulled out of the UNHRC, so have him go run that. By the time he figures it out in 2024, it will be too late.
