First of all the 20th of April cam and went and the predicted declaration of martial law did not materialize…..I am not saying it will not just not on the day all seem to think for obvious reasons.

By State I mean the department of state, our diplomatic portion of any government….they are suppose to support American citizens and further the pursuit of democracy and human rights…..

It appears the Trump Administration in its dislike of brown people is remaking the the direction of the US in the continent of Africa.

That Magic Sharpie is ready for action….

A preliminary version of a White House executive order outlines sweeping changes to the State Department, including the near-total removal of its operations in Africa and the closure of numerous embassies and consulates throughout the continent.

The proposal also recommends eliminating departments within the State Department’s main offices that focus on climate change – an area where Trump’s change of the law could have ‘seismic impacts’ – refugee matters and the promotion of democracy and human rights and comes amid a tense global trade environment after Trump’s tariffs, which have caused friction with China.

The purpose of the order – which could be signed by President Trump later this week – is to undertake “a disciplined reorganization” of the State Department in an attempt to “streamline mission delivery.” As reported by The New York Times, the 16-page document aims to cut “waste, fraud and abuse” and is due to be enacted by October 1. Trump was also branded the ‘dumbest president ever’ following a shocking 6-word geography comment.

The proposed executive order seeks to abolish the foreign service entrance exam for prospective diplomats and introduces a revised set of qualifications for recruitment. Any new employees would have to have an “alignment with the president’s foreign policy vision.”

According to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the plans, the signing of the executive order would be followed by a push to dismiss both foreign service officers—who serve as career diplomats—and civil service staff, typically based at the department’s Washington headquarters. They noted that the process would involve placing many employees on paid administrative leave and issuing termination notices.

The draft suggests changes to the department, including “policy development and review” and “operational planning,” as well as embracing artificial intelligence technology. However, the New York Times reports that elements of the draft could change before President Trump signs it into effect.

Not to worry the Little Donny and his butt licking lackey and SecState are going a bit further with the rest of the world….

• Canada: A new North American affairs office would oversee operations in Canada, and the embassy in Ottawa would become much smaller. A “significantly reduced team” would run the North American office, which would be supervised by the secretary of state.
• Issues: Bureaus handling democracy and human rights, and refugees and migration would be eliminated. There would no longer be a special envoy for climate or undersecretary of public diplomacy and public affairs.
• Staff cuts: Buyouts would be offered to foreign service and civil service officers. Layoffs would begin, as well, and a large number of employees would be placed on paid leave.
• Hiring: The State Department would drop its foreign service exam. New criteria for recruiting would include “alignment with the president’s foreign policy vision.”

Diplomats who have read the draft said they don’t see the logic behind it, per Politico. One said, “There’s a lot that could be reformed, but you could give infinite monkeys infinite typewriters, and they would come up with something better than that.”

I like the ‘monkeys’ thing.

In other words replace experienced diplomats and academics with amateurs that will blindly do as they are told.

Seriously?

Is writing off an entire continent really a good idea or alienating the rest of the world a goods idea?

Would this not open the continent for China/Russia to move in and take command of this region?

Amateurs and idiots!

These dumb asses are crapping on everything the United States has accomplished in 250 years.

Why do they hate the world so much?

How much further will these d/bags go?

Let’s not forget that Little Marco wants employees of State to pimp on anyone that illustrates anti-Christian bias (shades of East Germany’s Stasi)….as if any religious opinion should anything to do with their, employees, ability to do their job.

What the Hell is going on at State?

Thoughts?
