What should the qualifications be in order to be an ambassador? Does Marks fit the bill? Is there anything that might appear shady in her appointment? Are ambassadorships just a nice thing to hand to friends? Has it always been that way? I'm not an FAO and I've never dealt with embassy's and ambassadors, so, just curious.
**EDIT Note - I looked for the least biased article here. Fox News isn't reporting it yet, so I couldn't use them.

Mother of Benghazi victim fires back at Hillary Clinton
Mother on Benghazi victim Patricia Smith with her response to Hillary Clintons allegations.
Talk about secretary rice, President Obama, and Hillary Clinton all lying to the public about that it was a video that cause this spontaneous complex attack. I heard Hillary is running again in 2020 So This Woman's going to be a knife in her sight again. Aside from all the President Trump troubles, at least he didn't have a server in his bathroom. Hillary Clinton is lucky she is not behind bars. This is not deflecting on the president's appointment, I'm just saying since you mentioned Benghazi and I think of Hillary Clinton lying, this lady's going to come back and wake up people to what Hillary Clinton did and didn't do.

I wouldn't say fox news is unbiased. I would wager a sizable amount of money that someone in the trump family buys her bags

EDIT I mistook East London in the article referring to a place in SA I had never heard of, for East London in the UK....
I stand corrected.. now, if some will focus and respond to the substance posted elsewhere we could return to an adult discussion.

SGM Erik Marquez - It wasn't a grammar error - you called the article writer and editor liars or incompetent - not because they made an error, but because you failed to check your statement and made a completely false statement of your own.
I think I responded to both of your comments equally.

MAJ Bryan Zeski - So still, you refuse to respond the the questions with content... Why is that sir?
I was mistaken, i mistook East London in the article for for East London .. I have no editor, no other reviewers nor am I professional writer expected to be superbly researched and corrected of all copy I write.
Im sure you will refuse to see that as an honest mistake, so be it
Will you rise to the challenge or just continue to point out what i have already conceded..I was mistaken..lets move on shall we...

SGM Erik Marquez MAJ Bryan Zeski - if we can get past the East London fiasco, I think it’s important to realize a few long standing traditions that likely won’t be changing any time soon.
1. Ambassador-ships (particularly to strategically unimportantly nations) will often go to close friends/allies of the president, or to mega donors to the party in power.
2. This isn’t a uniquely new ‘Trump problem’. It’s been going on for quite some time, on both sides.
So to summarize, yes, our Presidents, including the current one, are no strangers to appointing cream puffs ambassadors to cream puff nations. (Or even others). It’s not a really a big deal because it’s been happening for quite a while.
