Tillerson Out

  1. I'm up 35k today so far, probably 50 by the close. And I am in a bad mood because yet again this infected coat hanger abortion of a presidency never ends. The worst thing is I watched a lot of the Apprentice so I've had years of the fuck's face already.

    Now he is Apprentice style barking Lawrence Kudlow, a TV personality to replace Cohn.

  3. What is money when you have to look at Trump's face every day. :)

    Remember when there used to be things that happened to everyone else in the world, tiny Timmy down the well, important stuff? Company CEOs caught stealing, now there is room for nothing but Trump.

  4. It's all about the ratings. Don't touch that dial. Stay tuned.

  5. There will need to be a new Geneva Convention rule after this relating to reality TV.

    I wasn't happy with Tillerson's appointment. As time went on, however, he seemed to exhibit, from my point of view, good sense and independence. Still I would much prefer trump had appointed someone personable, like Tillerson, but with more knowledge of State Department operations. In retrospect, I think it was Tillerson's business dealings with Russians that Attracted Trump to Tillerson. Tillerson proved not to be the kind of sycophant Trump is subconsciously seeking for his administration. I am sorry to see Tillerson go. One of the last independent voices in the administration -- something demagogues can not tolerate.

    I don't know much about Pompeo, but don't like what I do know. I anticipate his tenure at State will be disastrous.
    Trump, like any clinical narcissist, can be expected to drive competent individuals away. The only people that will remain for long will be those without options or self-respect, or those whose personal interests somehow, however bizarrely, align with Trump's.

    Tillerson is way smarter than Trump and Trump knows it. Anybody that can get hired as an entry level engineer and rise to the level of CEO of one of the world's largest corporations doesn't get there via the lucky sperm club like Trump did on his way up.

    I admired Tillerson from the start based on his accomplishments and integrity. I knew he would never be a Trump yes-man. Does that work for Secretary of State? I don't know.... but I felt there was at least a modicum of safety with him there. I'm sure Pompeo will do okay though.

    What a friggin carnival. It would be comical but for the stakes being so high.

  8. Funny how the Africanisation of American required no black people. Just Jews and Russians.

    Jacob Zuma needs a job, Trump could use his experience in the administration.

    The Mulligan president strikes again. The only thing covering for Trump is the economy he inherited from Obama. Hands down, this guy couldn’t manage a chicken shack.

    They are saying to expect more firings/resignations this week. I’m thinking McMasters and my dark horse Devos.

    Trump just runs people through the grinder to cover up for his lies and scatterbrained policy. I will say it again, if it wasn’t the economy he inherited we would be in the worst shape since the Great Depression as a nation, and don’t expect the economy to last either.

    The Trump administration is teetering, nice headline.
