i love the fear mongering in the article

"The officials who manage the building and thousands of overseas diplomatic posts are charged with taking care of Americans overseas and protecting U.S. diplomats risking their lives abroad."

like they took care of our ambassador to Libya???

this is an epic house cleaning

don't fret while it may be difficult to replace these people from the private sector

the military is full of qualified individuals who will transition nicely

Maybe some left fearing being indicted in the Hillary scandals.

I would assume this is more a purge than a true resignation.

I certainly hope that ass-hole spokesman, Kirby goes too; I've seen enough of that jerkoff.

Fox reported tonight that all appointees were instructed to turn in resignations by both Obama and Trump admins (standard procedure). Some were not accepted (meaning Trump wants to keep them on) and others were accepted (you're fired).

Great, saves severance or unemployment payments.

That's the way it typically works with those types of positions.

Right? I'm sure their jobs were so difficult that nobody else could possibly do them.

Actually no- resignation from post not job. They are entitled to other positions appropriate to their grade and seniority. Only a few will actually not have jobs next week - most by choice. Sorry to rain on the parade.
