Nobody knows for sure what caused President Trump to replace Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, but there are plenty of theories. One of them is that Trump’s corrupt, self-dealing son in law Jared Kushner played a significant role in the president’s decision to let the former Exxon Mobil CEO go.

Last year, after Kushner had facilitated a harmful blockade against Qatar (out of spite, after being rejected for a loan) Tillerson held a press conference to try to undo Kushner’s misguided action. The Secretary of State called on Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt to ease their anti-Qatar blockade and announced that the U.S. supported a Kuwaiti-led mediation effort.

What infuriated Tillerson was that his position (supported by Secretary of Defense Mattis) was undercut by President Trump who that same day, criticized Qatar, saying the country “has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Reports have circulated that Qatar has decided not to release this evidence to Special Counsel Robert Mueller because they thought it would hurt their relationship with Trump and the United States.

3. Jared and Ivanka (between them) are responsible for most of the WH firings

What the hell are the daughter and son-in-law doing in the fucking White House? How is it even lawful that the President's close relatives are allowed to work there? Remember when Hillary had an unpaid advisor's job during the Clinton presidency and the rightwing nutjobs went absolutely bonkers? This is 10 times worse, maybe even 100 times worse.

Get them all out of there, defeat all incumbent Republicans in Congress.
Make 2018 a Blue Year!
