Rex is lacking some ‘ooomph’, his heart is not in it…
Well Rex, I gather that the interaction the Mexican government and people have in mind would not fall under the category of conversation. Tirade, berating, short right hand…
Seriously, shouldn’t he be asking Jared that question? That is in his portfolio, no?
Did you talk about anything with him, Rex? Other than Gulf of Mexico oil production, that is?
Will Rexxon Tillerson be the first cabinet member to resign?
He strikes me as someone with the ability to recognize his own limitations. That’s why he runs away from reporters, unlike DeVos, Price, Perry, Sessions, et al.
Rex is attempting to reassure himself that he is sane.
Maybe their shared acquaintance, Jared Kushner ? “What did he say ?”
Let’s all talk about conversations we haven’t had! Me, I haven’t had any conversations about entering a tango competition or training a fish to play a zither.
I’m betting Tilly wants to make simpatico with Mexico

Mexico says Total, ExxonMobil win block in deep water oil auction
Mexico awarded a consortium comprised by Total and ExxonMobil the second block tendered from the Gulf of Mexico’s Perdido Fold Belt off the U.S.-Mexico maritime border in a historic deep water oil and gas auction on Monday.
Block 2 is a 1,149 square mile (2,976.6 square km) block which the energy ministry says contains some 1.440 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in light and extra light crude as well as natural gas.
Tillerson consistently acts very much like a corporate employee who wants to get dismissed so he can collect severance pay before moving on.
Nobody is paying for a wall.
I always thought the only thing he was hired for was to lift the sanctions and the heat’s been on over Russia too much to just flat do that, so he has nothing to do. Nobody likes that. And he might have just enough sense and dignity to find the whole position ridiculous and no fun.

Interesting theory, and you’re probably correct. It’s highly likely that Trump chose him for an immediate rather than long-term need. I read somewhere that Tillison said he took the job because his wife told him he should. Not a guy who’s really feeling the higher call of public service.
Why is this narrative even important?
The wall is a joke and a distraction.
It’s really pitiful when an imaginary SciFi character, portrayed by a muppeteer, and with CGI enhancement, makes more sense than the entire Republican Party and just under half of the electorate.
Honestly I’m being simplistically conspiratorial. There were some slightly more plausible names floated for SOS who didn’t make it because they’d committed the unpardonable sin of suggesting candidate Trump might deviate from perfection in some regard. And Tillerson is a rich white business dude with Power Hair and that’s a confidence builder for Trump. But it’s a fact that a lot lot lot of his cabinet people hang with Putin, get the occasional medal from him, that sort of thing. So it raises questions in one’s mind.

It’s hard to be excessively simplistic when considering conspiracies for this administration. Simple plots for the easily distracted…
