Such a big boy. He made the decision all by himself.

Tillerson blames Russia. Minutes later he’s fired but there’s ‘no collusion’? Maybe just protection?
Think you can do better than this chronic dumpster fire?

This site, https://www.runforoffice.org/, allows you to enter your ZIP code and see what offices are available to you and the filing window for that office. They also have a few video short-courses on running a campaign. In my state you file for office during a 1-week period in May, just three months from now.

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. Meet your neighbors and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump, and half of all voters stayed home in 2016. HALF! Today’s 10-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years. Make sure they’re prepared.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly. And get on your Planning Commission.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020 when we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Make them fair and open. Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census- talk about ‘voter fraud’!

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led voter-run-around campaign help them do that. This site, https://www.aauw.org/resource/organize-a-voter-registration-drive/, has a how-to on organizing a voter registration drive. Or even sitting outside Wal Mart with a folding chair and a card table. Yes, that’s the American Association of University Women. And while we’re here organize a League of Women Voters chapter in your community if you don’t already have one. Fair, honest and above board. Democracy functions better with them involved.

Civics, civility and civilization all share the same roots. Get crackin’!

“Trump’s decision to fire Rex Tillerson as secretary of state Tuesday morning was not surprising…”

It was only a matter of time until Trump dumped Tillerson for a younger, more-attractive Secretary of State.

What a chicken shit wuss. No balls, no courage, nothing but false bravado.

I hope Lamb wins PA-18 today and that it foretells massive wins in November. We need to bench this pigfucker and his barnyard cronies. The congressional GOPers are useless!

Everything about Trump screams coward. Can’t face people to tell them their fired. Continually punches down. He is a bully and like all bullies, he is a coward, morally, physically, in all ways. We are in deep shit as a country.

Face to face. In private. Tell em why. Let em vent. Show em the door. That’s how big boys do it.

This all foretells how Drumpf will freak out when Mueller starts truly closing in on his orange ass. Mueller will be fired somehow by someone who’s unlucky enough to still be in the Drumpf mis-administration. Who the hell is left in that train wreck?

Time for Trump to go back to what he knows best - a Friday evening prime time show where he pulls his whole cabinet and staff into a fake boardroom, picks three of them to harangue for their poor loyalty, then sacks one with a snappy catchphrase after an ad break and a synthesizer pad.

Don’t fool yourself - Bolton is being saved up for McMaster’s replacement.

Remembering that 5 months ago Tillerson called Trump an F-ing Moron and Trump praised Tillerson, yesterday Tillerson called out Putin for poisoning people in England,

This is what happens in the Trump administration to anyone who insults Vladimir Putin.

If you’ve ever seen Vladimir Putin in interviews, he is extremely prickly, sensitive and insecure when confronted with criticism. I am quite certain that he insisted to Trump that the US not show solidarity with the UK after May’s clear statement of accusation (perhaps through a secret comm line that people rumored about when Kislyak and Lavrov visited the OO?). The Putin response approach is to double down with propaganda and murder and go into an aggressive stance (the best defense is a good offense). We’re seeing a very defensive Vladimir Putin and an equally embattled Trump coming to his defense.

It is so hard not to use the filthiest curse words at my disposal.

curious that the timing of this announcement came on the same day that tRUmp could be embarrassed by yet another special election loss in a district that repubes have no right to lose in a normal scenario

sucking the air out of the room right when he could be embarrassed yet again. too coincidental for me not to be skeptical

old habits and all

now if he was “working” with some porn star SOS on the side during his rough patch with Tillerson, well, there might be a 60 Minutes story in there somewhere
