Well, he didn’t call him moron, he called him, “fucking moron.”

“I’m just not going to dignify the question,” Tillerson replied. “I call the President ‘Mr. President.’ He and I have a very, very open, frank and candid relationship.”

Google Translate - “Yes, yes, yes, yes yes. Yes yes yes, yes, Yes - Yes. yes.”

Please let him stay right there. The popcorn value is priceless.

It’s not Rex I want to see leave (ok, actually I do), it’s his boss.

We’re talking some pretty expensive popcorn. The normal administrative side of State Department has been non-functional for 9 months almost. Embassy staffs have been slashed, positions left empty. On the “soft power” side a complete shut down. Disorganized transition to a multi-polar or nuclear-dusted world are not the products of good policy.

“He (Trump) made a joke,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Tuesday of Trump’s remark. “The President certainly never implied that the secretary of state was not incredibly intelligent - just not as smart as the President. Also, Trump´s penis, both erect and flaccid, is bigger than Tillerson´s, notwithstanding the appearance of POTUS´ tiny hands”

“Is it true? Did you call [Trump] a moron?” Jake Tapper asked [Rex] Tillerson on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Tillerson: “No, I called him a maroon.”

Less than artful comment by Tillerson, but NOT a denial. He. Called. Trump. A. Moron.

Well, will anyone be better if picked by Trump? I am of the thought there is some contention and fire walling there with Tillerson. Is it the best, not even close. But he does seem to have a clue that all is not well with his boss.

Dear Rex, can I call you Rex? Rexy, every time you refuse to deny it, you confirm it.

But you know that, don’t you Rexy boy? You’re not a moron.

It’s a scary world in which Tillerson, ex-CEO of Exxon and proud (??) holder of the Order of Friendship personally bestowed by Putin, is one of the (relative) good guys in the administration.

Knows a lot more about foreign policy than his boss, too, even though in any prior administration he’d have been considered an unqualified neophyte.

But her emails. And Wall Street. And pantsuits.

I’d recruit from within. You have Huntsman back in as ambassador to Russia. He knows China. And he knows enough to staff the fucking embassies. This has just be a prolonged alt-right tantrum, probably going back to when Bunker Hunt lost his Libyan stake or even Anaconda (when Rex was just a kid).

I’ve been under the impression that the hollowing out of State was a directive from above Tillerson. Wrong?

pal you lost your dignity the minute you joined this shit-show of an administration. I realize you will lose money if you quit before a year, but it is only money, and you have more than you can spend already

Seems like Tillerson is the f*cking moron for putting up with Trump and his crap.

You mean like the Government Accountability Institute? A Bannon Mercer vehicle that wants the strangling of public sector institutions? Even Tillerson would recognize this as too kooky. There probably was this realpolitik idea that Russia and Houston are on the same page when it comes to the awl bidness, so what else is there. I mean, why would an American need a passport? Why issue non-Americans visas at all? They’d just come here and overstay. If they really want to stay, bring $500,000 in an unmarked brown bag and go see Jared.
