I hope their resignations are accepted...

... and they are replaced.

Granny says, "Dat's right...

... it saves havin' to fire dey's butts...

... an' dey can't appeal a resignation."

If that's true, good. Makes Tillerson's job all that much easier.

"They are presidential appointees who submit resignations during every transition. Their resignations were accepted. We wrote about it y'day."

Did they actually quit the government or did they simply move down the ladder? I'll bet you when the smoke clears we will find out that none of them actually gave up their federal retirements or other benefits but simply retreated down the ladder but stayed employed at the State Department. They should be fired for once and for all.

Outstanding news! Makes the purge that much easier...

Washington, home of the self-licking ice-cream cone, has just invented the self-draining swamp.

I do believe that a resignation letter at the start of a new President's term is pro forma. Accepting those resignations without replacements already trained is not. So we get amateurs all the way down. That is sure to be such a success.

So after the diplomatic "successes" of the past 8 years tell us the downside to this...

Graveyards are filled with indispensable men.........

This is good news, by resigning they are essentially saying they disagree with Trump's policies.
Getting them out of the way, and replacing them with a new staff should speed things up.

The OP is a lie, big shocker. Trump needs to fire a lot more.

No it doesn't.

These are senior people with no political loyalties who served under multiple presidents.

Why? Because Trump and his sycophants hate experience and expertise?
