My money is on Tillerson to be the first to resign.

[Stinky The Clown]

Anyone giving odds?

[TeamPooka]

1. Since Flynn already resigned, I'll take that bet. Pay me. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Flynn was fired

[TeamPooka]

19. No, he resigned. Here's his resignation letter.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/13/politics/michael-t-flynn-resignation-letter/

Legally Flynn resigned. He was not fired.

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Oh please

To resign in the face of that shit would require honor and ethics. He was fired.

Lots of people get fired and are allowed to "resign" to save face.

[TeamPooka]

23. Yes, you can be asked to resign but it's still a resignation. There are legal standings for

being fired.
"You're fired" is what happened to the guy who was walked out of the White House for speaking against trump publicly last week.

[brooklynite]

2. You mean by choice rather than indictment?

[Raster]

3. Not until he fulfills his primary duty...

...get those sanctions repealed for the United States of Exxon.

[CK_John]

14. Exxon is a World government. nt

[Raster]

15. That is exactly what I am alluding to...

...I remember when Jabba the Hut was CEO of Exxon and stated:

“I’m not a U.S. company and I don’t make decisions based on what’s good for the U.S.”

[Else You Are Mad]

4. Correction...

Second to resign. Regarding Tillerson, it will depend on when the sanctions against Russia are lifted and the Exxon half a trillion dollars deal is signed. Once that deal is signed, that is when Tillerson will resign.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Flynn was canned. He didn't resign.

[Else You Are Mad]

9. True. Nt.

[Initech]

24. Exxon is a bigger threat to America than Isis is.

God help us if those sanctions are lifted.

[femmocrat]

5. I agree.

He doesn't seem like the kind of man who would put up with not getting his way.

[KittyWampus]

6. I'll buy you a beer if it happens. But only if you can give a general idea why.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. He's out of the loop. He has to shovel shit to cover for the boss. He has no power to

build his own team.

[Doreen]

10. Why would he? He is now more in bed with Russia than

ever and he has the President of the united states in just as tight with him. If Priebus ( sure I spelled his name wrong ) gets into trouble for trying to sway the FBI he might resign.

[asiliveandbreathe]

11. I wish I could agree with you - but I really don't think

he is going to leave all that money on the table..oil - black gold - I see a good cop-bad cop affect going on here..which could lead some of us to believe tillerson might be inclined to resign..

..although, in order to drill that oil, russia needs sanctions lifted..

so, if the new legislation to prevent the removal of sanctions goes through..I could give you a better odds..

[nikibatts]

12. If he is not in on the scams.

If he has any self-respect...but then he did say yes to being in the 45 cabinet.

[Motley13]

16. Rexon, Mattis, Pence have all said different things than the prez

Mattis, we are not here to take your oil

Pence, NATO

I haven't read Rexon on Mex visit yet, but I bet that was different from blotus

blotus opens his mouth & shit comes out w/o thinking of the consequences. Someone else has to clean up his mess.

The new guy, McMaster doesn't seem like the type to put up with his crap, so he might be the 1st to leave, they may all leave, except #46 Pence

[briv1016]

17. Do you really think Putin would allow that?

[malaise]

18. Priebus may be tomorrow's Friday nnight news dump

over this FBI mess

[GoCubsGo]

25. Yep.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if "Melissa McCarthy" went first. Granted, he isn't a cabinet member.

[suffragette]

21. He really wants this Russian sanctions removed and for ANWR to be opened for drilling.

As long as he thinks he can get one or both, he'll stay.

[MrPurple]

27. This. He has more conflicts of interest than Dick Cheney.

[Alice11111]

22. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigns. Treated like shit.

And the whole world is watching. He's not used to that. He's used to calling the shots, and now he's either being ignored or taking orders from Bannon, who has no experience and doesn't know what the hell is going on in these countries. He must be xtremely frustrated and humiliated. Compare the difference in Hillary or Kerry as Sec of State. They had regular meetings w Obama and SEEMED important and respected.

They may try to talk him out of it and promise him more independence. His expressions even are like WTF, just going through the motions. I don't think he will stand 4 being a prop 4 too long. Everything they care about is centralized in the WH pod in this administration. They dont even know any better, and they want complete control.

I think there will be a lot of resignations, both because of scandals and because they won't put up w the BS...don't want to risk reputations. They may try to stay a respectable period of time or wait for an excuse .
He knows he is a fake Sec of State as far as they are concerned, but that wasn't what he was planning on. They wouldn't even let him pick his own right hand man. They probably want him to go through the motions, until they are ready to use his credibility or connections on some oil deal.

I think Carson will resign too eventually. They fired his key man without even telling him first! As he said, he doesnt NEED a job, so why would he hang around to play one of DTs dolls in his big dollhouse.

Unfortunately, we are probably stuck w sessions. This is the power he always thought he deserved. He is relishing it, and coming out as more RW evey day. He won't even recuse himself in the investigation. Any decent, respectable lawyer would not have to be asked by the public, but he would have done it before it even came up.

[HopeAgain]

26. How would he explain it to his boss?

Mr. Putin?

[MedusaX]

28. Peer Pressure

Perhaps McMaster, Mattis, T-Rexxon (& maybe Kelly) will bond & form a resistance movement of their own....

If they could successfully get the Bannon/Miller faction out of the House
By any means necessary
It would create a sliver of hope that there will be something recognizable left of liberty, justice, the constitution...

45 is completely manageable... unfortunately his current handler is hell bent on destruction and poses a serious a threat to us all....
