DJ my man I have to disagree with you on one thing you said. Tillerson didn’t really know what he was doing. Like Truth said he was running the state department into the ground. The only reason he looked like he knew what he was doing is because everybody else was so bad, he was the sane looking one of the bunch. He was a corporate guy who really didn’t know anything about foreign policy. He had to learn on the job like all the rest of Trump’s picks. He was just better at making it look ok than the others.

Off topic for moment just to say….

I commend ALL of the kids across America who are participating in the Student “WALK OUT” today. The primary purpose for their Nationwide action is to:

1. Honor the 17 people (mostly students) killed in the recent School massacre, in Parkland, FL.

2. Protest INACTION on guns in this country.

I support those young people FULLY.

I also agree with DJ that “more Ousters” are likely to come…and sooner rather than later.

I liken Trump to a 2-legged caged animal, thrashing about, desperately trying to escape the Hellish situation he’s gotten himself into (the presidency) and having absolutely NO CLUE as to how to get himself out of it…and save face.

Unfortunately for Us, we’re stuck with they guy as he plays out his pathetic role….

….until it comes to a Merciful end.

Trump’s style is to lead from the gut. […]

And yet he has shown us time and time again what a Gutless schmuck he is. (i.e. the way he fired Comey and Tillerson). Trump is a pitifully WEAK man’s version of a “tough” guy.

Re; Rex Tillerson

I agree with DJ…Rex seems to be an honest person, at least in his assessment of the president being a babbling “Moron” AND his criticism of Russia. But Rex knew who he’d be working for BEFORE he took the job. In fact, he admittedly didn’t want to take it at first but was talked into it by his wife who suggested that “God” wanted him to do it.

Most reporting indicates that as Sec. of State, Rex has pretty much “wrecked” the State Department by making drastic cuts to the budget and the staff, which could lead to a major National Security problem.

[To a person, I heard that the State Department was in “chaos,” “a disaster,” “terrible,” the leadership “totally incompetent.” This reflected what I had been hearing the past few months from friends still inside the department, but hearing it in rapid fire made my stomach churn. As I walked through the halls once stalked by diplomatic giants like Dean Acheson and James Baker, the deconstruction was literally visible.] – *Max Bergmann, Politico

The outcome was inevitable, if not also way past due.
