Holy. Shit. There is a rumor going around some liberal boards that Trump was intentionally tweeting anti-muslim videos in order to spark riots at US embassies and force Tillerson out. Did he learn nothing from Benghazi?????

I don't believe it, but it's bad enough that State Department officials immediately went into damage control mode and beefed up security at certain posts.

That's a bit extreme. It is reported he was told after the fact that a response like that is possible to him posting those videos though.

Sounds too Brietbarty/Infowars to me. That being said, who would put it past such Russian clowns to initiate such rumors on liberal boards? Well, of course, it could be those raging Bernie Bros. That sounds possible..

I guess Trump still imagines that he isn't the only elderly 4 year-old dotard that thinks that taking your ball home before everyone else gets the chance to not pick you or quit your team is a sound strategy for feeling like a winner.

Are you saying that he keeps Russian hookers in the Oval office?

Hehe that's good
I'm thinking it's more like Trump doing it because his subconscious keeps telling him his old life was waaaaay better. That self sabotage people sometimes unknowingly engage in.

Oh, I'm sure he's wishing he never ran for president. Hell, half his kids could end of in jail, and he hadn't the slightest clue as to the constant demands of your time that the job entails. I mean, he on the links as soon as he can get to them.

Yeah. Kushner and Ivanka love to leak when it suits their purposes, and they don't get along with Tillerson at all. Kushner in particular is constantly undermining Tillerson and the State Dept as a whole. Maggie Haberman from the NY Times looooves printing/treating their leaks as absolute fact, too.

Donald himself is also no fan of Rex. His shaming didn't work with Sessions, but I'm not sure a former CEO will put up with it forever.

I don't buy that regarding Steve Mnuchin at all. That orange-ass-sucker will put up with whatever it takes to stay in a position of prestige. Remember, he paid good money for it. If he was principled he would have walked when Dump was defending nazis and kkk.

Looks like Pompeo might get the honor and privilege of working for the fucking moron. Tillerson stomped on snowflake feels a few times too many, and word is Dump wants to shame/humiliate him as revenge.

Classic Dump. Forever the petty toddler stuck in a fat old guy.

Tom Cotton to head CIA? Oh FFS...

A modified clusterfuck will still be a clusterfuck.

We obviously need a stooge for the Israel lobby as head of the CIA. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?

After today I wonder if the real poll should be "Who goes first, Tillerson or Trump."
