8. Tillerson, a trump aide and now a Tillerson aide. Can't keep up without a score card.

[LiberalArkie]

41. Tillerson survived Africa

NAIROBI, Kenya -- U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson canceled his scheduled events Saturday in Kenya because he was sick. "The secretary is not feeling well after a long couple days working on major issues back home such as North Korea," U.S. Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein said.

12. here...

[GusBob]

15. Thats it? Thats what? There is nothing untruthful or disputable in that statement!

What the hell is going on?

[Qutzupalotl]

22. The WH is floating the idea that Tillerson was actually fired on Friday

which would mean Tillerson’s Russian poisoning statement had nothing to do with it. But this aide says Tillerson did not know the firing was coming.

[GusBob]

24. I just read a different version

That he was asked to resign and said no, so perhaps he knew it was coming

but also the statement was his and not an aides

There is something wrong going on

[poboy2]

38. 'There is something wrong going on'-lmao...yes there is! -nt

[bdtrppr6]

39. x1000

[FSogol]

31. Fired for saying something the Trump admin cannot stand: The truth.

Next step: Fire the entire State Department

[Plucketeer]

48. Man, ain't that the truth!

Who's on first!

[Canoe52]

4. Circular firing squad on this clown car.

[FakeNoose]

14. Maybe it's a massacre?

Just waiting to hear if Kelly is fired. Then we'll know.

[workinclasszero]

5. Putin's puppet is on a roll

Fuck can't keep up without a score board!

EVERYBODY'S GETTING FIRED!

[Plucketeer]

49. PERFECT! nt

[JDC]

9. Seriously, there is no administration left.

It's a couple of guys/gals, and an old bag of Mickey D's fries.

[sunonmars]

10. Wish he'd fuckin fire himself before we all die of rubbernecking at the speed of sacking.

[IluvPitties]

11. I can't handle this chaos.

It's like an overload to desensitize us.

[dalton99a]

13. Chaos is the new normal

That's how you make America great again

[Blue_true]

16. Or make us more determined.

As I watch the shitshow, I become even more determined to do what I can to destroy republicans in November.

[ailsagirl]

43. I'm going to take a DU break for awhile-- it's just too crazy

[bdamomma]

51. Naomi Klein was correct

The Shock Doctrine is in full force this is psychological warfare on our democracy. The freaking repig party should be abolished for what they not doing to stop all this.

[blugbox]

17. NO CHAOS!!

JUST ENERGY!!

Can you guys feel all the energy this morning?!?

[underpants]

56. Oh that was last week

🤡

[Javaman]

18. I think the orange asshole is stroking out and is stuck on "you're fired" LOL nt

[bdamomma]

55. he lost

his girl Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday (Hope Hicks). And he's flipping out.

[Johonny]

19. so much winning

[Docreed2003]

20. Fired for speaking up for his former boss...sounds about right with this cabal

[Iggo]

21. He's in big trouble.

It's happening.

He's trying to get out of the spotlight, but it's impossible. No matter what he does, it all comes back to him, because he's the fucking President Of The United States.

This will end badly.

[YessirAtsaFact]

27. I hope so. In Trumps America, every day is Pearl Harbor

Except that FDR denies that it was the Japanese.

[moondust]

23. Keystone Kops

[workinclasszero]

25. Must see TV!

[Plucketeer]

50. There's got to be

an appropriate ranting Donald Duck GIF someplace!

[workinclasszero]

57. LOL I bet you are right!

[Plucketeer]

60. Aha!

[procon]

26. It a political purge. We're moving into dictator territory now.

Trump is launching a pogrom of political repression based on his paranoia and suspicion of leakers and disloyal people within his administration. Political purges are quite popular with dictators from Stalin, Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and in North Korea, China and Burma/Myanmar. Trump hasn't (YET!!!) reached the stage of imprisoning anyone who disagrees with him, or the arbitrary executions that are the hallmark of other despots, but who would stop him if he took that next step???

[poboy2]

29. He needs a war for the next step. -nt

[workinclasszero]

33. Its taken the idiot this long to realize the power he has

Night of the long knifes political stuff for sure.

When will Twitler spring his Reichstag fire I wonder?

[procon]

34. Trump must first oust McMasters, Kelly and anyone one else who ever dared

to question, criticise or oppose his rule. Once he's cleared the decks and restocked his government with fawning Yes Men, nothing will stop him.

[workinclasszero]

36. A democratic House after the midterms

is our one and only hope.

If that doesn't happen.........

[poboy2]

44. ...democracy and western civilization is over. -nt

[workinclasszero]

46. It truly will be

Do people know that this coming election determines the fate of freedom and democracy in the USA?

I don't think they do.

I really don't think they do.

[bdamomma]

58. This is no joke

we really need to save ourselves, or will it get that bad that blood will be spilled to get back our country back.

But I have a feeling the rich cowards will leave on their rich toys to avoid the backlash they so deserve from very angry crowds.

[Roland99]

28. He still thinks he is on a tv show. Just wants to fire people

[MFM008]

30. Maggot

Is attempting to run the entire government by himself.

[NastyRiffraff]

32. So, three people fired so far today?

Tillerson, Tillerson aide, and Trump's personal aid? Or did the personal aid quit? Did Tillerson know before the tweet, or didn't he? Gods, it's impossible to keep up.

[bucolic_frolic]

35. Thou shalt not contradict Der Fuhrer

he is consolidating power and using it

it can only get worse

saw a Twitter post asking Mueller to 'think outside the box'

we really are close to that point

[rickford66]

37. Rachel will need the side of a barn tonight.

[LiberalArkie]

40. He survived Africa

NAIROBI, Kenya -- U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson canceled his scheduled events Saturday in Kenya because he was sick. "The secretary is not feeling well after a long couple days working on major issues back home such as North Korea," U.S. Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein said.

[ailsagirl]

42. What is the count now??

[3catwoman3]

45. With Harry Truman, it was...

..."The buck stops here."

With Cadet Bone Spurs, it is "The fuck starts here."

[LudwigPastorius]

47. The people who voted for Trump voted for chaos.

...and they're getting it in spades.

At this point, the question arises, is it worse to have no one running the machinery of government, or is it worse to have a battalion of corrupt sycophants?

[Flaleftist]

52. He broke the #1 rule of this administration.

He told the truth about something.

[kysrsoze]

53. We apologize for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible have been sacked.

We apologize again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

[VWolf]

59. A moose once bit my sister n/t
