| Nikki Haley Resigns As US Ambassador To The UN |
| 2018-10-09 |
| Did not see this one coming! [Axios, via Red Siren Drudge] - President Trump has accepted Nikki Haley's resignation as UN Ambassador, according to two sources briefed on their conversation. The timing of her departure is still unclear. What we're hearing: Haley discussed her resignation with Trump last week when she visited him at the White House, these sources said. Her news shocked a number of senior foreign policy officials in the Trump administration. Background: Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, was easily confirmed four days after President Trump's inauguration in 2017. She has overseen Trump's shift in dealing with the UN, including the U.S. exit from the UN Human Rights Council, which Haley called the organization's "greatest failure." |

| #19 Besoeker, even though you forgot your sarcasm tag, you may have a good idea here. Jeff has been asleep long enough that he probably isn't aware we pulled out of the UNHRC, so have him go run that. By the time he figures it out in 2024, it will be too late. |

| #18 We've had a Sikh, maybe now a Joooo just to screw with the General audience |

| #17 Well, she did (IMO) a good job at UN. And she is on our side! |

| #16 I'm going to think outside the box here and suggest Kanye West. I can't imagine the crowds at the UN whenever he's there to give a speech. |

| #15 I would like to see her and Sarah Sanders change roles, you know, when they get bored of their current jobs. |

| #14 Grom, if she sticks to those kinds of roles, fine, but I don't want her in any position of real power. Her mouth writing checks her ass won't have to cash is exactly what she's good at. She was a neverTrumper, she was bad on domestic issues (people bothered by toppled statues forget that her fecklessness was instrumental in the spread of that phenomenon) and making speeches at the hot air factory on Turtle Bay doesn't make up for all that, IMO. And apparently, fighting back against libs online is unacceptable to her as well. |

| #13 Well Charger, UN is a circus. |

| #12 I guess I'm a heretic. I don't like her, and I think she'd be a disaster in any leadership role. |

| #10 Nikki Haley was facing a formal complaint over ethics after series of private jet flights funded by businessmen from her native South Carolina |

| #9 Right on Percy. DPM is probably the last Dem I respected and liked. Can you imagine the deviancy DPM would have been fighting today? |

| #8 damn. Where is Daniel Patrick Moynihan when you need him? |

| #7 #4 BOLTON!!!! Nah. Bolton's where he needs to be, helping to undo the policy nightmares of the last 3 admins. Move him to Sec State if/when Pompeo moves on. The "lamentations of their women" would be awesome. If it was up to me, I'd take a page out of Caligula's playbook and send a horse. But I expect Trump will find someone who fights, as Haley did. |

| #6 I hope it's not some sort of medical issue. |

| #5 Maybe she didn't like Kavanaugh. |

| #3 2020 or maybe she just can't hack all the bullshit at the UN. |

| #1 NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Damnitall. She had more backbone than any other squish in the UN. Hopefully Trump appoints another fireplug and I hope to see her back in action somewhere else soon. |
