Ambassador Gutmann has temporarily returned to the United States to undertake cross-government consultations on the situation and to complete necessary State Department in-processing...

These are words in the English language but assembled like that carry zero semantic content. A masterpiece.

The phraseology is straight out of 1984’s “duck speak”.

“The intention was to make speech, and especially speech on any subject not ideologically neutral, as nearly as possible independent of consciousness.”

She learned that they have German food there and speak some sort of foreign tongue so she flees home to filet minion, and apple pie where people don’t speak gobbledygook.

Nothing like a catfight between a United States Vice President and a US Ambassador during a potential war to make our country look like a petty sorority bar fight.

Astute observation.

If they go into a restroom now and the Secret Service stands outside with arms folded, look out.

Well her father lived the first couple decades of his life in Germany so I assume she had some exposure to German culture.

It is unclear if taxpayers paid for Gutmann’s flight home to the United States after Harris and her team denied the ambassador a seat on Air Force Two

At first glance it seems extremely petty. What is the backstory?

Not sure she resigned. Just back in country working “issues”.

I think that's State Department speak for recalled. Which is quite an accomplishment after only one week on the job.

The audience at the meetings obviously preferred the ambassador over Harris. “You guys need to remember” Harris certainly has an IQ falling in line just below the potted plants in the lobby. That tends to make people pass you over in favor of someone with some knowledge and intelligence over the subject matter.

Wild guess:

Gutmann was sent with a confidential message for someone in Europe. A message she could not share even with Kamala. The question is taunting: Why pay for a commercial flight when Kamala’s plane was making same trip at same time?

Yeah, most likely a scheduling conflict, aka, a nothingburger.
