Next time your wife pressures you to take a job, Tillie, tell her to fuck off and go shopping or something.

No one is holding a gun to Tillerson’s head. He could resign if he wanted to.

Here’s the issue Rex:

Rump is the fucking POTUS so, no, “Rex”, his position speaks for entire country, you goddamn imbecile.

Looks like Kelly has told the Cabinet it’s okay for them not to defend the “President’s” indefensible views publicly. Only a matter of time before Trump reacts to this provocation.

“I don’t believe anyone doubts the American people’s values or the commitment of the American government or the government’s agencies to advancing those values and defending those values,” Tillerson said on Sunday.
“And the President’s values?” Wallace pressed.
“The President speaks for himself,” Tillerson replied.

Very carefully and purposely worded. The President’s so-called values are not the same as those of the vast majority of Americans and those of the American government and agencies as a whole. As U.S. Secretary of State, Tillerson is also saying that Trump does not speak for America, at least on this issue and probably on most. This is a big deal. Prepare to be the recipient of some mean tweets, Rex.

And every word out of his mouth translates to: I am a god-damned Nazi-sympathizing idiot.

I would extend that to Kobach, Sessions, and frankly, the entire Republican Party as long as they engage in blatant voter suppression tactics.

I love how Republicans act like Trump isn’t saying bluntly exactly what they’ve been saying slyly for the past 55 years.

I don’t know why Tillerson would say DT only speaks for himself when DT has assured us that ‘‘Number one, I am the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person.’’

Gorka is out, Bannon is out.

And now between Mattis and Tillerson I feel like that kid in the back of the station wagon.

When are we going to get there, are we there yet?

Let us all hope the country survives this niggling, slow motion acceptance of the obvious…

I can see Tillerson’s power-hungry wife (“I only took this job 'cause my wife told me to!”, sobbed Rex, finding someone to blame his inevitable failure upon, like any good Republican) waking him up in the middle of the night: “Honey, Donald just farted again! Better wake up and start writing your excuses for the President in response to questions from the media!”

Don’t worry, peeps! The wonderful and talented media-blessed reincarnation of tap-dancing Baby Jesus General John “I loves me some brown immigrants!” Kelly will save us all! I know this, because Miss Cleo told me so! And she’s dead, so it’s gotta be true!

Some of the Trump appointees are getting a little afraid of “Trump taint,” but not enough to resign or really speak out. They’re too focused on their future monetary gains and opportunities for influence.

Don’t be hating on old Rex! He’s just keeping the trains running on time.

Well, Tilly. I DO doubt the values of the people running the goverment and about a third of Americans.
