That's a big loss.  =(
She was doing a good, no-nonsense, job. I like that she stayed out of the circus & drama.

Quote from:  Nikki Haley
“I know that it’s fun and that it can feel good, but step back and think about what you’re accomplishing when you do this (own the libs) — are you persuading anyone? Who are you persuading?” Haley asked. “We’ve all been guilty of it at some point or another, but this kind of speech isn’t leadership — it’s the exact opposite.”
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

She was supposedly leaving at the end of this year anyway, or at least that's what I think I heard a couple of months ago.

She is still leaving at the end of the year.  Her resignation was announced now because it was thought an appropriate time to do it.
Haley stated that she firmly believes in term limits and limited time served in appointed positions.  She thinks leaving is the right thing to do in as much as she is voluntarily term limiting herself.
She is a classy lady and is doing a good job. I will be sorry to see her go.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I can see her POV. I wish she would have stayed for another year though. I will be very curious to see who takes her place. Not likely, but I would laugh if it was John Bolton. The progs would explode.  :laugh:

They keep saying they are, but then why are they still here annoying us?

So the question is: 

Who will be the replacement? 

When will Trump make that announcement?  Possibly something to keep in his pocket until October Surprise time.

The October Surprise is, there will be no replacement. The UN campus will become a shooting range complex, with a Chick-fil-A, and gay-straight conversion therapy center.

And speaking of conversion therapy, Trump is appointing a homosexual as her replacement. Watch this story fade into the distance.

On second consideration, the article I read was speculative.

I hope all the stuff about Ivanka taking Haley's place is just a joke, because that would bog the administration down in endless nepotism claims. Unfortunately, I could actually see Trump doing it if the left says, "Don't you dare!"

But first, Mattis will double up as UN ambassador for a three month test run that's predicted to make him the busiest Cabinet member in decades.

Rumor has it, his first address was tested a couple decades ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTOKJTRHMdw

I'm pretty sure the whole edifice would collapse the moment he walks in the door.

I hope they put the fairy up for the job. No groping women problems, so let's see what the random outrage generator spews out. Be hilarious if the plantation lost the gay vote over backlash.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

The left has already turned against heavy drinking (Kavanaugh), and foul language (s**t-hole countries). Could man-love be the next vice they renounce? Stay tuned.

The whooshing sound you hear is something going right over my head. I am drawing a blank: who is the gay potential candidate to replace Ms. Haley?
