Trump: My administration is filled with people from Obama’s administration. I wish someone would fire them.
Alternative headline: “Rich Texas Oilman Supports Transgender Rights”.
Yeah, that’s how weird 2017 is.
In Texas, that just means you can put Truck Nuts on a Prius and not get shot at.
Rex must be close to submitting his resignation. One can’t defy Trump and continue to work for him. If he does not quit, he will simply prove that he has no soul and no moral character.
How very broad-minded!
Tillerson’s statement comes months after Trump announced a ban on transgender people serving in the military.
He is such a servile, spineless a$$hole. I overheard him make a statement on something on NPR and it seemed to me there was a significant pause on his part before he could say “human rights”. He’ll only come out against the rohingya genocide a decade after its over.
In nearly 300 embassies, missions and consulates around the world where State Department officials work to promote and defend America’s interests, diplomats complain about not just a dearth of resources but also a lack of guidance. “I’d request instructions on action items, saying I need a decision, and I’d hear absolutely nothing,” a recently returned ambassador said. Meanwhile, foreign leaders are increasingly emboldened in their attempts to drive a wedge between America’s diplomatic corps and the president. Earlier this year, according to Foreign Policy, Trump pushed out the United States ambassador to Jordan at the request of the country’s king. And this month, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has cultivated a close relationship with Trump, declared the American ambassador to his country persona non grata after a visa dispute. “We do not see him as the representative of the United States in Turkey,” Erdogan said.
Our foreign relations will be ratf*cked for years to come once he leaves.
Just down the road from you on I-35, I saw a dually with double vertical exhaust pipes cruising in front of me. It was a bit confusing because the truck nuts and confederate flag were missing!
“Transgender individuals and their advocates, along with lesbian, gay, bisexual and intersex persons, are facing increasing physical attacks and arbitrary arrests in many parts of the world… ** And that’s why I’m gutting the state department like a trout so we don’t have to see it anymore.**
Maybe he is gutting the state dept and does not do one other thing - he got this right.
Its a pretty meaningless statement from him given his actions at State are eroding our ability to influence other nations through cultural exchanges, etc. And since the Trump admin through its actions gives cover to other nations which are inclined to discriminate based on LGBTQ status.
Frankly, I’m tired of reading about what these people ‘say’.
It’s the actions they affirmatively take that matters. I’m a gay man married to a legal immigrant and I have to tell you this has not been a good year, no matter what these people ‘say’.
Yes, that’s a Lesbian truck for sure.
