Cheeto's not going to fire the racist Keebler Elf. Big Pharma loves that sick little Klan fuck's crusade against legal weed. They have even offered to buy a lifetime supply of white sheets for him (as long as they aren't made from hemp fiber)
Rexxon Drillerson OUT at State Department - Cheeto names Pompeo as his replacement

No socialist ever made that statement. But I believe a certain best friend of Poppy Bush did....
And when the only alternative was his cunt wife, well even a Klansman might have endorsed the "black guy".Eat Us And Smile

Sorry to see you guys misty over Tillerson. This will make you feel better, and we know how important it is to have the leftist feelings on display.
Rex Tillerson’s favorable tax deal may have made a year in Trump’s orbit worth it
Rex Tillerson was required to divest his stocks when he became secretary of State post.
His stock holdings were estimated in January 2017 at $54 million.
Tillerson also held the right to an estimated $174 million in Exxon Mobil shares for his four decades at the oil giant, and Exxon set up a special trust in which it sold the shares and agreed to pay cash to Tillerson over a decade.
Both deals deferred any taxes the former Exxon Mobil CEO would ordinarily owe on stock sales, and in the best-case scenario, could defer taxes forever.
Next firing:
AG Sessions
I could see Trump firing Sessions. He's wanted to from the moment Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation. And legally Trump can fire Sessions for any reason, or no reason/cause at all.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Even Trump is smart enough to realize that initiating a war/military action that turns out successful - for purposes here being defined as a war that doesn't end in a nuclear apocalypse - timed right re: the 2020 elections, will probably be the only sure-fire remedy to get him a 2nd term.
The problem is where to have the conflict, and how to make it successful. We can't even win in Afghanistan, and we've been there for 17 years. Syria would be another sinkhole filled with quicksand. Going into Iran would, as you say, probably bring Russia into it.
Maybe we can reinvade Grenada...or Lybia...No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Certainly in comparison with the rest of the Cabinet, Tillerson was doing the best he was able to considering the erratic nature of the President who appointed him. At least with Tillerson - whatever misgivings I had about his previous career experience prior to his appointment - he could give an interview and come across as being in touch with reality, unlike, say, Ben Carson or Betsy Devos. He was also far more moderate in his rhetoric and approach than the President. And Steve Bannon. And Stephen Miller. And Donald Trump, Jr. And Anthony Scaramucci. And Mike Flynn. And Kellyanne Conway. And Jeff Sessions.
To Ford's point, yes, it IS a bit fucked up when a guy like Tillerson was the reasonable guy in the Cabinet.
Yet, this is where we are.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Tillerson is a smart, articulate, professional. We needed someone with middle east contacts and Tillerson was perfect for that. Tillerson is used to being the boss and he tends to believe in climate change, international trade deals, and multinational corporations. Tillerson is a globalist. Trump is a hard core nationalist. Trump and Tillerson clashed and Trump got rid of Tillerson. I certainly think Trump showed no class in the way he fired Tillerson. I think Tillerson served his country well while he served as Secretary of State. Trump showed himself to be childish in the way he fired him.
Tillerson did at least maintain a professional decorum during his tenure. Trump was cowardly in the manner in which he ultimately fired Tillerson, but cowardice in demanding resignations re: personally informing those to be terminated has become a characteristic of Trump's since he became president. Odd for a guy who got off saying "you're fired" to contestants on his reality tv show. I guess that supposed display of courage was just fakery for the tv cameras. I mean, Tillerson doubtless has expected his termination to be coming for at least 6 months now. Pity for Tillerson that Trump didn't have the stones to deliver the news in person.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Geezus... now there's rumors going around that McMaster is out and that Cheeto is bringing in PNAC'er John "nuke the UN" Bolton to replace him.
If that happens, there's no question about it. Cheeto & NuttyYahoo are planning to start World War III in order to stop either of them from being removed from office.Eat Us And Smile

And remember, we have Christie, Giuliani and Gingrich all warming up in the bullpen when Trump burns through the next three Cabinet/high level staff members. Despite how nobody of quality is stepping forward to offer their services to the Trump Administration, there is no shortage of 2nd, 3rd and 4th raters like the three I mentioned clamoring for a position in the Trump Administration.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

At least he didn't grab him by the pussy.
Yep. Old Rudy would happily take any position Trump offered him. Same with Christie, who was making critical public comments about Kelly during the Porter incident that came across like nothing other than Christie angling for Kelly's job.
Gingrich might be slightly more cautious about taking a position, particularly after having seen how this administration has operated over the past year. Unlike Rudy and Christie, Gingrich doesn't really have any ambitions anymore politically in terms of operating in the public sphere. And Gingrich was never quite as all in in terms of being a toady for Trump and agreeing with everything Trump thought or said.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment
