He will be far down on the list of urgent replacements.

I doubt it. He's a regime change operative. Hes part of the permanent bureaucracy

I doubt it, unless he is considered important in the global scheme of things.

And I also doubt the decision to stop issuing letters was his. That would have come from further up the food chain.

His an investment lawyer and a political appointee.
I wonder how much his office contributed to trump.
He will be gone ASAP and replaced with a professional.

He's a part of the permanent bureaucracy and he's a political agitator who helped with the protests in Hong Kong and Thailand. Which is why Thai protesters had his name on signs when they counter protested at the US embassy

Don't try to use facts and reason with Skidmark - he will double down on any lie he spouts.

Just move on.

I would suggest the Ambo has little to do with that

according to Wikipedia :
"DeSombre joined Sullivan & Cromwell LLP in 1995 and became a partner of the law firm in 2004, where he led its mergers and acquisitions practice in Asia.[2] His clients included Goldman Sachs, Anheuser-Busch InBev and Credit Suisse."

"He was nominated as U.S. Ambassador to Thailand by President Donald Trump on July 17, 2019.[10] He is the first political appointee to the position since 1975. "

Skidmark does it again . . . doubles down when he's lying and plain wrong.


Our neo-Nazi sympathising rape apologist wo thinks 'lynching' someone is simply roughing up a person . . .

Your Guatemala quote does nothing to support your assertion, mental dwarf

Not anytime soon Jools. Embassy stopped income verification when Davies was Ambassador. I believe was stopped more because of cost cuts than anything else.

Unless budget increases come along or the Ambassador allocates existing budget to do, won't matter who the Ambassador is.

Here's a link from their website

Cuba Sanctions Update: United States Refreshes and Enhances Cuba Sanctions

Over the last six months, the Trump Administration has demonstrated a renewed focus on efforts to pressure the Cuban government to change its domestic and foreign policies, in particular its support for the Maduro regime in Venezuela.


As I said, he's part of the permanent bureaucracy and will find work in any administration

the above shows that you can reads, understand what you are reading? Not so much.

You utterly brainless fool. I was just giving a window into the history of the outfit that he works for. A permenant fixture in the Washington deep state

You're full of shit . . . and . . .

You still haven't.

You're a weak-willed liar.

He's also an exceptionally gullible person , drawn to idiotic conspiracy
theories like a moth to a flame, who doesn't possess an ounce of perspicacity.

Biden will have about 4,000 political appointments to fill when he finally can begin his official transition. As a political appointee, DeSombre will undoubtedly be replaced, but I doubt if finding a successor for him is going to be a high priority.

He may resign once Trump accepts his defeat, in which case the highest ranking diplomat left here will probably become the acting ambassador until a new one is appointed.

That should be the Consul General

Whatever happens to him, I suppose he is feeling pretty Sombre right now.

This.
It takes weeks for a new president to make his replacements and replacing the ambassador to a not so important country is not high priority.

Why don't they just put the fucking price up?
