By Perfect Blue Go To PostYou're saying this like the dude after Rex will be an improvement.
Keeping him around was only going to make things worse.
Itll probably be the same shit show sure, but with Rex in charge we knew that for a fact already

There's potential it could actually get worse. Tillerson was meh on Trump and the destruction was still complete. Now imagine a guy actually passionate and aligned with Trump.

Breh people in general are scarce. His first year turnover is insanity. Imagine the pool after 6 more hypothetical years

By DY_nasty Go To Postin general trump's gonna eventually find a quality yes man
Some of the firings were his biggest supporters.
Like I’m agreeing with you, I’m just expanding the scope beyond just the Head of state department and making the yes men progressively less qualified each time lol
By Fenderputty Go To PostSome of the firings were his biggest supporters.a lot of people are cool being supporters and yes men until they gotta pull the trigger going along with some crazy shit lol

By DY_nasty Go To Posta lot of people are cool being supporters and yes men until they gotta pull the trigger going along with some crazy shit lol
Which is why each successive yes man becoming less qualified is an issue lol
We're all gonna die
By Fenderputty Go To PostWhich is why each successive yes man becoming less qualified is an issue lolsee, i'd agree with that normally but we've been picking from friends and supporters first
We're all gonna die
the binder is gonna open up eventually and he's gonna find something that clicks from outside of the normal bubble. i mean.... you don't want this fukkery to get efficient. or worse yet, you don't want trump unable to reel in something he empowered that even he can realize is bad.
that's how i view pence and still do.
B-b-but... wasn't Tillerson one of Putin's homies?
This is harrowing shit though, for real.
Now we got Pompeo, who uses Wikileaks as a credible source, and is therefore a Russian bot practically, and we got some Gina Haspel lady running CIA now even though she technically can't even step onto European soil cuz she's guilty of breaking international law by torturing terrorist suspects at detention sites.
We are witnessing some super gangster shit right now and it's all because people only wait until "elections" to do anything about anything.
We even got telecom lobbyists in Wyoming rewriting laws to restrict broadband competition.
I mean, think about that for a minute. If you don't want the people--THE PEOPLE--to seize the means of production, then fine... but then how you gonna turn around and let representatives of private corporations rewrite your laws so they can become monopolies then?! How in literal fuck has that been so legal for so long?
How can it actually be a thing that you can write laws limiting competition? How?
This country is just having such an identity crisis that it doesn't even know how to be smart or make any kind of logical sense anymore.
Edit: Sorry, had to correct "cease" to "seize". Fucking homophones.

At some point, it's gotta fall to the people. We can talk about how evil Republicans are and how ain't shit Dems are, until we're blue in the face. Until certain voters stop getting coddled and certain progressives actually get a fifth as mad as these kids, then we're stuck in this time loop.
I'm still amazed that there has only been 2-3 "major" marches and two of them were plagued with a lack of intersectionalism and racial bullshit.
Sooner or later, he's going to run out of homies to put on, and then the bigger problems start. As repugnant and hateful as Pence and these merry band of Nazi twats are, they look real funny next to Cheney. He was actually about that action, whereas Trump's squad seems to only give a fuck about that bag.

Yeah, Cheney was about that action, and got put in his place by what's his name... oh yeah, Comey.
So how did somebody that put Cheney in his place, end up getting teabagged (no relation to tea party) by dumbass fucking Trump?
Mueller is practically the only man left that can save the fucking country, and it's just so sad and heartbreaking to see a man of retirement age having to do all that. He's the last motherfucking Avenger left standing against Thanos, basically. I'm ready to adopt Mueller as my grandfather just so he can have lemon cookies and milk in his coffee for the rest of his life because he'll sure as hell motherfucking deserve it if he somehow pulls out this win.

He never really pumped any brakes is what I'm saying.
Would be far more concerned if Nikki Haley's leaving than no energy Rex
was reading the daily fail at the coffee shop over lunch and there was an opinion piece on how Theresa May is going to go in hard against russia over this nerve agent business. Fucking dying at the hilarious frothing vitriol.
She might even use cyber attacks!!!1!!!!

Nothing any single person does will "save the country". There has to be a real desire of change by a large portion of the country, the will to act on that desire, and the fortitude to continue even after retaliation occurs.
Not sure how many American citizens are about that life, though.

dragging feet is often active resistance. there's plenty of things he could've happily jumped all the way in on - namely saudi arabia. that could've went waaaaaaaaaaaay worse.

even with trump, people still too comfortable to do shit lol. shit today people won't even bother to check the initial pompeo co-signs (shout out to schumer) or how long haspel has been in the business
the "but we care now" people don't give a shit either. to most, opposition and awareness has about the same enthusiasm as a fad

That's sheer dumb luck that his campaign to gut the state department actually worked out for once.
The cuts at State and the amount of institutional knowledge he's pushed out will reverberate for years.
Don't worry, Mattis is definitely safe. Dude is into hanging out with NRA republicans like Scalise, and they're all into playing with whips (yes, actual whips).

between hillary and kerry, how much talent really bled out? they were both less than impressive to say the least. state's been dragging ass for the better part of a decade now
neither were even obama's first choice. hillary got the job as part of the deal to fall back and kerry only got it because rice felt hillary's benghazi fallout
also i don't call many things luck, positive or negative. too many moving pieces at that level for coincidences of that magnitude

I wonder if Mueller has already heard the recording of the call where Putin tells Trump he has to fire Rex or else the pee tape comes out.
By Randolph Freelander Go To Post
Brace for impact.
Trump Finally convinced Kelly to get rid of Javanka?
By rodeoclown Go To PostI can only hope Jeff Sessions is next on the chopping block.
He's the reason Rosenstein is still where he is and showed a pretty big sign of opposition to Trump recently. I hate the man, but I'm not sure a replacement would be better. In fact I think he probably hates getting slammed by Trump contantly where he is.
By Lunatic Go To PostIsn't firing people at a moments notice Trump's MO?
Yes. He's quoted saying turnover is good and so is chaos.
Who is even left of the original cast? Bannon, Prebus, Tillerson, Spicer, Flynn, Hicks all gone. Conway must be looking over her shoulder.
By TheHunter Go To PostHow odd Tillerson was speaking Ill of Russia before he was fired.I recall upon his nomination that he was a puppet for Putin, so people should be ecstatic about this!
All I know is Tillerson was on 60 Minutes talking about "riding for the brand" and I remember being unable to understand why you'd want to ride for the Trump brand though, and now it's just so fucking weird how intricately flawed all these people are.
How is this going to work. I get firing people who 'opposes' you, but isnt working in the Trump Administration a career suicide?

Depends on how ambitious you are, man.
Everyone completely coddles Sean Spicer now and jokes about those days of him outright lying to the American people every day.
So, no, apparently, it's not the career killing endeavor it ought to be.

No.
It's probably the easiest way to boost yourself up to a position you have no business for. And when you quit or get fired, you have those same credentials and the moral shield of " I didn't like the direction they were going in or they felt I wasn't dedicated to their vision."
