Political discussions about everything

So Yovanovitch, described on MSNBC as having a "spine of steel," felt "terrible" and was "appalled" when Trump criticized her as being "bad news."

She admitted Trump did not commit bribery or any other crime, but merely said she served as his pleasure (as all ambassadors do) and fired her.

So, summing up her and Kent and Taylor, their feelings were hurt that their views and opinions on foreign policy did not carry the day, and instead the elected president called the tune.

Actually, I did waste some time listening to this gal -- with her "backbone of steel" -- as she whined about being fired.

In reality, it was the Ukraine president who didn't want her because she supported his opponent.

She clearly is some sort of egomaniac who spent decades doing nothing as an "ambassador" and felt that the gravy train would never end.

Look, any president can fire any ambassador any time, although this gal actually got herself fired for backing the wrong horse in Ukraine.

She should have been asked if Obama replaced any ambassadors "just because" he wanted to replace them and she felt those ambassadors felt terrible about losing their positions and should have complained to the State Department.

The fact is former President Barack Obama notified all of President George W. Bush’s politically-appointed ambassadors in 2008 that they must vacate their positions. Trump's mistake was giving the Obama appointed ambassadors a chance rather than cleaning house like Obama did and put in people loyal to the new direction the people voted for.

Tool, "the people" did no vote for a guy to put his personal political gains over our national security and interests.

And NO ONE has said Trump couldn't fire someone "just because". What is upsetting is that he cooperated with criminals in Ukraine to get rid of a good ambassador who was preventing the criminals from having their way.

What Trump gave them was a month of freedom from American oversight for things like getting illegal money from Lev and Igor through their shell company set up specifically to break our campaign finance laws.

This lady, who was born in Canada, has been sitting on her posterior in these sorts of jobs for decades.

As Trump noted, there is no evidence after three decades that she is any good at her job.

The Ukraine president wanted her fired, and all ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president.

Where are the transcripts of Obama's phone calls with Iran, which resulted in pallets on cash delivered in the dark?

During Yovanovitch's testimony, she was flipping back and fourth, sobbing uncontrollably and screaming accusations of political bias at her interrogators.

Wait, hold on, that was blackout drunk Brett.... Yovanovitch was as cool as a cucumber during her testimony.
