Yeah, wouldn’t want to cut short Tillerson’s reform efforts. Little Brittany likes to watch.

Perhaps Tillerson agreed to keep the IQ test results confidential if Trump let him stay on for awhile longer.

The truth that Trump is a blithering idiot is out in the open, whatever the score.

…somebody is seeking to undermine his presence here. I don’t know who that is.

I’ll give you a hint, Bobbo. His name starts with “T.” And it ends with “rump.”

I don’t know why, but for some reason the Benny Hill Yakkity Sax theme song keeps playing in my head each time I read an article about this bunch…

The secretary of state, Corker said in October, was one of “those people that help separate our country from chaos,” alongside Defense Secretary James Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.

Bob Corker: “I’m even dumber than I look!”

It’s not imminent. It won’t happen until next week, maybe the week after.

Oh, and who cares?

“Guess it all depends on how you define ouster. If it means packing up your gear and heading on out the door, well, then … I’ll pretend to be both naive and stupid. For the moment because, well, you just never know.”

I gather he’s holding Rex’s hand during this difficult time, deeply, you know, concerned and all. Would love to know what Tex Rex’s goodbye bonus will look like. Big sloppy kiss.

:joy::joy::joy:So, the guy that’s about to get fired told you he’s not getting fired? Yeah, because the one about to lose his job is always, always, always the first one to know.

Given Trump’s attitude towards Corker at this point, he might just have guaranteed Tillerson’s dismissal.

“Maybe it’s happening, but I don’t think the secretary of state job is going to be open in two weeks… We as a nation and the rest of the world need someone like Rex Tillerson in that position.”

Masterful piece of lawyer politicianing there. I don’t think two weeks. Trump will wait until outrage over the tax cut bill and his latest racist tweet are at their peak, then do it. Let’s say three weeks.

Need someone “like” Tillerson? a) No we don’t. b) Good luck having Dump find someone to get over that low bar who i) can stomach him ii) is willing to risk their reputation and iii) get past confirmation.

No. Corker’s comment that Tillerson’s reorganization of the State Department “hasn’t gone spectacularly” really deserves some kind of award for understatement of the century.

I always thought that it started with “Chiselin’ T.”
