“The State Department is in chaos,” Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) exclaimed to
reporters, shaking his head as he stepped on the escalator in the
Capitol’s basement.
Yes, Putin didn’t want Trump to be POTUS.

Not quite. They haven’t been able to pass anything but the tax cut. With the razor thin line in the Senate they will most likely need Democrats to pass anything.

“Even Democrats who voted for Pompeo’s confirmation to lead the CIA last year now say they have concerns.”
Concerns? What, that they’ll have to interrupt their daily naps to raise a few weak objections to the complete derailing of the country by imbeciles? Jesus H Christ! Dems should be breaking furniture and kicking doors down into the offices of the GOP to demand what in the living fuck is happening, and how fucking long will these disgusting bastards stand by while Putin nerve gasses our best ally, China builds airbases in intl waters and who knows what the hell else! There should be a full-on riot in the Capitol by the opposition party. But instead there’s… concerns.

In a world before Trump, the Congress would be investigating why serving in a U.S. presidential administration is at the pleasure of Vladimir Putin.
That is in his exit speech, Tillerson really needs to thank Vladimir Putin because he was clearly serving as Secretary of State at the pleasure of Putin. The only qualification Tillerson had for being Secretary of State was a friendship medal pinned on him by Putin.
5 months ago Trump praised Tillerson after Tillerson called Trump an F-expletive deleted moron because Putin was still praising Tillerson.
On Sunday Tillerson joined England’s Prime Minister in attacking Putin for poisoning/murdering people in England and the next day Tillerson is fired.
I will take all bets with anyone who disagrees that at least one of Putin’s attempts to open a back channel with Trump was successful.

There will be alot of pressure to confirm someone quickly. Because we need somebody in the State Dept. Anticipate another tweetstorm pointing at Dems as obstructing. Just like the last shutdown.
edit:
oops, maybe not. Thanks all for reminders about the no-filibuster rule.

If there was any justice, we shouldn’t have to wait for the results of Mueller’s investigation to dump Trump. He should be immediately impeached and convicted on the basis of gross negligence and incompetence in discharging his duties. He’s an absolute buffoon who’s in way over his head, and doesn’t care if the country drowns under his watch.

I assume you’ve seen this. Pompeo has been in the Kochs’ pocket for years, funding his entire career.
