So he could help Putin drill for oil under that Russian Arctic Ice. It just didn't work out, somehow.

Knows exactly what they are getting into, and they have fully chosen to accept any consequences arising from their association with him.

Is that he pretty much never said a thing about the gutting the State Dept's budget.

He clearly felt uncomfortable in the job, but he also seemed to try to do what he thought was best.

He actually brought in consultants to help him downsize the State Department. He was COMPLETELY happy in this and did NOTHING to argue that their budget should be kept whole.

It just dispenses shit. The best I can say about Tillerson is the next one will be worse and "lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas."

What we've come to when we're praising cabal members for being less deplorable than the next.

I believe Tillerson was just looking out for Exxon's interests and will return there shortly.

all our lives in danger while he was CEO of Exxon. This fucking weasel knew exactly what he was doing when lying about, covering up man's contribution to climate change. Not to mention the demolition of the State Department while working for a foreign power. So fuck him and everyone else like him.

Anyone who took a fucking job with this asswipe KNEW WHAT THE FUCK THEY WERE GETTING INTO

He has overseen the ABSOLUTE DECIMATION of our Department of State.

He was the SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM...no need for seasoned career diplomats. No need for norms, or decency..he'd run intricate and serious diplomacy, with the fate of the world in its hands, like it were a fucking Walmart.

He DROVE CAREER DEDICATED CIVIL SERVANTS out of State.

Fuck him and the Orange Shitgibbon he flew in on.

He's nothing but a god-damned taker and traitor. Born on 3rd Base and thought he hit a triple.

Sorry, but I'll not reduce our standards to; "well, he never went out of his way to be an asshole"

Fuck that...and fuck him.

Rex, the worthless piece of amphibian shit, can go fuck himself sideways with a First Edition Hard Cover copy of Atlas Shrugged.
