Lucky them. At least they will never have to explain having been associated with drumph's administration in any way, shape or form, because it is going to be a corrupt disaster.
What's good about this ? Many of them are probably super qualified .
What's that old cliche about the people you misuse and abuse on the way up, and their reaction on your way down? Billy, I'm surprised at how you suddenly scorn all tradition. His in-your-face scorn of every past historical practice isn't a sign of strength or purpose, it is downright bratty. He's the immature King Jeoffrey of "Game of Thrones". I'd think an old traditionalist like yourself would look upon this rudeness with a little trepidation. This is NOT a good way to get back to the good old days whose loss you mourn.

This is a momentary 'feel good' for you, billy. But I know you to have too much class to be fascinated with this kind of tacky rudeness for long. You wouldn't put up with it under your own roof from your own kin, what Trump is doing to our national ancestral 'house'.What's that old cliche about the people you misuse and abuse on the way up, and their reaction on your way down?

This is cancer surgery, bullwinkle, not tradition.
And frankly, I'm sick of all the phony politeness. Hit 'em.
Of course they're poltically rewarded. And Trump will reward their replacements. The only thing new is they used to stay on until the new potus's polical appointees are confirmed. Jesus, billy.What's good about this ? Many of them are probably super qualified .
Perhaps. Contrarily, many are merely the politically rewarded.

But doesn’t that leave us dangerously unrepresented in other countries? Not really. First off, our allies are just as used to working with our transitions as we are with theirs. In the temporary absence of a formal ambassador, nations work with career diplomats assigned to those stations by the State Department. Those transitions typically take months anyway.
Let’s use Reuters’s examples. The post in Germany remained unfilled from December 2008 to September 2009 in the Obama transition, when the Senate confirmed former DNC finance chair Philip Murphy — who hadn’t been nominated until July. George Bush’s ambassador to Canada, David Wilkins, left the office on January 20th just as Trump is asking ambassadors to do now. His successor, David Jacobson, formally presented his credentials in October 2009 after having been nominated and confirmed over the summer — and he worked on Obama’s transition team. Obama kept Bush’s UK ambassador Robert Tuttle in place for two weeks to February 6th 2009, but his successor Louis Susman didn’t assume the position until October 13th of that year after having been nominated by Obama in May and confirmed in July. And yet, the media didn’t seem all that concerned about our presence in those countries during the lengthy transition period in 2009.
You didn't post anything contradicting my post. The new poutus replaces policial appointees with his own political appointees. All Drumpt did that is unusual is to not allow the old batch to stay until his are confirmed.Of course they're poltically rewarded. And Trump will reward their replacements.

How is that not "contradicting" your statement?
Are you really that dense?

Yeah, but what about inventory?
Will the Obama team be holding a 90% off sale to dump all those small arms and munitions to ISIS before his sales force (Ambassadors) are out?
A giant "Obama/Clinton going out of business gun running sale?"
There is no indication of that except to those of you who's tinfoil is wrapped around your heads rather than in your kitchen cabinets.Lucky them.
