You know, up to now, I just assumed we both lived in the United States. But, I guess not…..who’s your president? Very few reach 80% approval. What country do you live in?

91% of Rethuglicans still support The Rapist. We need to round up these traitors and send them to Gaza where they can have their own fascist country. They'd be neighbors with Israel and could celebrate their love of fascism and holocausting together.
 

Diplomats posted at embassies abroad are being called back from their assignments "after providing less-than-positive analysis or unwelcome recommendations to leadership," said the association. “… Even if offered discreetly, any statement, verbal or written, can be politicized and used against you. That is the reality we face."

The union’s warning to its members is only the latest example of how federal civil servants at the State Department are facing mounting pressure from the White House to downplay information or views that “do not strictly adhere to the president’s partisan agenda.”

U.S. presidents traditionally rely on experts to head off or defuse economic downturns, public safety risks, geopolitical shifts and credible terrorist threats, but experts say Trump’s second term appears to prefer to dictate information to its info-gatherers, risking “potentially disastrous consequences” with incomplete or skewed information.

"What we’re seeing in the diplomatic corps right now is fear," said John Dinkelman, a retired career diplomat who is now president of the American Foreign Service Association.

Union officials say Trump and his team demand seasoned career civil servants surrender impartiality for a more partisan stance backing the administration’s agenda, regardless of whether that stance squares with reality.

“I am getting reports from literally all over the world of individuals who are reticent to offer up their well trained and well experienced opinions regarding the situation on the ground, the way in which foreign interlocutors will view our positions, and even to propose — heaven forbid — an alternate course of action,” Dinkelman said.

Trump and his administration “run the risk of blinding themselves to things that they ought to know before they do something," said Donald Kettl, a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland Kettl. This could lead to actions that "end up causing implications that they never would have dreamed of."
