Does Dumpy really think that the House Intel Comm. ending their investigation gives him a free pass? I mean...no one told him to consider the optics of shit-canning someone who just spoke against his pals in Russia?
I get that I'm applying normal, rational logic here and that none of that really applies down the rabbit hole, but...

What's crazy is that Tillerson has actually been....dare I say it....better than I thought? Like still bad but at least he could call out Russia on their shit.
That's just how disgraceful this administration is. Good Lord.
He just grew a spine on Russia yesterday. He was garbage. I admit I laughed my ass off when I heard he called Trump a moron.

I just saw the news on twitter and came over here. Didn’t he have a gentlemen’s agreement with Kelly and someone else to leave if one was fired or resigned? Wonder if that will hold true. If it does, this episode of Government Apprentice just got way more complicated... Mattis and McMaster, I thought. They need to stay, though. I understand walking and holding to principles, but we need some adults in the room and Kelly obviously isn't one. Tillerson and Cohn were widely believed to be a couple, but they're both gone. ETA: Whoops. Should have kept reading. Mnuchin. ETA#2: By adults in the room, I mean not as BSC as 45. How sad is it that the standard is that low?

There was a headscratcher in the agreement too, but I don't remember who. Maybe Mnuchin? I think it may have been McMaster but i am scratching my head trying to remember the third person too. Mnuchin has no common sense. Mnuchin. I think the press called it a suicide pact?

Did any of you hear the story on NPR this morning about the EO trump signed to avoid the hostile take over by a chinese company of an american company who essentially are in a race to make 5g technology? Is it ignorant of me to actually agree with the block?

Mnuchin. I think the press called it a suicide pact? Mnuchin is a Trump stoogie. Lives in his hotel, hangs out in Maralago. No way he isn’t all in. Oh, for sure. But that's just what the story originally said -- Tillerson, Mattis, Mnuchin.

I *think*since Pompeo was already confirmed for the CIA role they maybe able to just move him over without a hearing. There were rumblings of that a while back. nope. Needs a new vote. Yep, different committees. SoS is SFRC. CIA Dir is SSCI.

My 4 year old thought Moana was too scary because of the lava lady at the end, while the 2 year old squealed with glee and clapped every time the lava lady showed up.

So transparent.
🔥🔥🔥BREAKING!!! Tillerson aide: Trump never explained to Tillerson reason he was fired, and Tillerson had wanted to stay in job.
The reason is obvious; Putin and Russia.

45 is speaking to reporters prior to boarding AF1 for CA.
I mean at least he didnt drag Tillerson to the other side of the country and leave him there. Tillerson got back from Africa at 4 am THIS morning.

Yep, different committees. SoS is SFRC. CIA Dir is SSCI. Do you know if Rand is a member of either committee? He could gum the works. Yep, he's on foreign relations.

So is Jim Jordan going to pitch a fit about him taking a government plane home after being terminated? Or is that only a problem when Comey does it?

45 "we're getting very close to the cabinet and OTHER THINGS that I want"
"Rex and I have been talking about this for a very long time" "We were not really thinking the same, with Mike we're on the same page"

Pompeo will be worse. I loathed Rex and now I am even more anxious. Tillerson was at least loyal to the "devil you know" (big oil). Pompeo is loyal to... the Tea Party? Super. Pompeo is up to his neck in big oil connections too. And big defense contractors. He was also one of the Benghazi truthers.
