https://pjmedia.com/trending/o...-over-a-trump-tweet/ Obama Left An Ambassador to Die, But We’re Supposed to be Outraged Over Trump's Yovanovitch Tweet? Excerpt: On Friday, as former Ambassador Maria Yovanovitch was testifying, President Trump made a series of tweets criticizing her performance as ambassador, which got Democrats so triggered, his tweets were read soon after they were made, and the narrative presented was that the tweet was witness intimidation. "Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad," Trump tweeted. "She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors." "They call it 'serving at the pleasure of the President,'" Trump continued. "The U.S. now has a very strong and powerful foreign policy, much different than proceeding administrations. It is called, quite simply, America First!" Trump also noted that he's done far more for Ukraine than his predecessor than Obama. | |||

Ouch! That was painful, and I enjoyed every minute of it. That woman has more balls than most of the male GOP members.

Paul Sperry sometimes reports things w/o indicating a source. Sperry is the one who publicly named Eric Ciaramella as the spy/WB. Now Sperry says: The "whistleblower's" attorney has privately informed HPSCI staff that his client, a CIA officer, has not received credible threats, as Schiff has suggested;and he is not at personal risk since he nonetheless has been assigned a government security detail for protection | |||

Flashback: Obama Fired All Bush Appointed Ambassadors In 2008 https://thepoliticalinsider.co...ambassadors-in-2008/ The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified Friday about President Donald Trump firing her amid an alleged “smear campaign,” but firing ambassadors appointed by former presidents is commonplace. Former President Barack Obama fired all ambassadors appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2008, the Washington Post previously reported. Yovanovitch testified Friday that the Trump administration, including the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, “kneecapped” her. She said that she was not supported by State Department leaders after being recalled in May. “Political ambassadors sometimes are permitted to stay on briefly during a new administration, but the sweeping nature of the directive suggests that Obama has little interest in retaining any of Bush’s ambassadorial appointees,” WaPo’s 2008 article about Obama’s decision to fire all political ambassadors reads. Yovanovitch was appointed by Obama in 2016, and newly-elected presidents typically re-vamp the positions with their own choices once taking office. Yovanovitch was allowed to stay on for three years after Trump took office, but has testified that senior officials “declined to acknowledge” the “smear campaign” against her leading up to her firing, Politico reported. “Often the posts involving the most important bilateral relations (such as with Great Britain, Japan and India) or desirable locales (such as the Bahamas) are given to close friends and well-heeled contributors of the president,” the WaPo article adds. A 2017 Snopes fact check also noted that Trump firing appointed ambassadors was not an unprecedented move. “The resignation and replacement of ambassadors at the end of an administration is routine,” the fact check reads, adding that some presidents have fired everyone at once while others decide on a case-by-case basis. The other ambassador to have testified is Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the E.U. He testified Oct. 17 that he communicated a quid pro quo to Ukraine. Sondland linked giving military aid to Ukraine with the country agreeing to take part in investigations that Trump asked for in a revised statement, USA Today reported. Trump selected Sondland to the position in 2018. Democrats said during Friday’s public testimony that they were angry at Yovanovitch’s sudden dismissal, despite Obama doing the same thing when he became president in 2008. The testimony comes amid an impeachment inquiry into Trump following an August whistleblower complaint. The whistleblower complaint accused the president of pressuring Ukraine to look into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

OK, then. Thanks for your time. You are dismissed.  “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

^^^^ Like Nunes said, and I'm paraphrasing, I'm not sure what the hell you're doing here, lady; it sounds like you should be speaking to Human Resources. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Yep, her entire "testimony" could have been handled via an email to Human Resources. | |||

A few times in the beginning of today’s circus, his voice had that nervous quiver/waver. He sounded like he was doing everything he could to hide his nervousness and sound confident for the charade. | |||

He ought to be nervous. What he is doing is wrong. He knows it and every fair person watching this charade knows it. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Interesting testimony, Ambassador Maria Yovanovitch did not know of any bribery or other crimes committed by President Donald Trump. She did know however that the Obama administration was concerned about Hunter Biden. Oh and she was at the end of her three year assignment and really really wanted to stay in Ukraine. Trump did not extend her term of service, therefore he is a really really bad man and needs to be impeached. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” Pres. Select, Joe Biden “Let’s go, Brandon” Kelli Stavast, 2 Oct. 2021 | |||
