The State Department Is Out of the Loop

[brooklynite]

Source: Political Wire

The State Department spokesman had no idea that Mexico’s foreign minister was in Washington, D.C. for meetings with the White House:

QUESTION: Hi. Yes, thank you. Hi, Mark. I see that the foreign minister of Mexico is in town, Luis Videgaray, meeting with – according to the Mexicans – Kushner, Gary Cohn, and McMaster. Is there no State Department meeting with him? And if not, why not?

MR TONER: Tracy, good question. We’ll take that and get back to you. I was unaware that he was – the foreign minister was in town. And I’m not sure – I can’t speak to whether there’s going to be any meetings at the State Department at any level. I’ll take the question.

1. What kind of organization does Trump have?

This administration is chaotic, at best. It is drastically understaffed and clearly the lines of communication between departments and agencies are non-existent.

So much for Trump's brilliance as an organizational manager.

3. A kleptocracy. Steal from nation, allies, contractors, ethics, benefits, but mostly from the poor

Benefits tRump family and the 0.1%.

8. It's absolute genius...

he knows that his time in the office will be severely limited; he'll be tossed out as soon as his supporters in Congress get as much as they think they can from him.

He clearly doesn't care about much of anything, except finding ways to enrich himself, his family, and his sycophant toadies. The rest of the country can go to hell as far as he's concerned, as long as the 'proper people' are making massive profits.

He's just trying to get them as much as he can before he gets removed from office.

2. This is frightening.

I really am afraid to think what information the Bannon/Trump administration is ignoring/is intentionally hiding from Trump. I hope they aren't doing so intentionally in the hopes of getting their own 9/11 like attack they can use to take full power over the US.

4. You make an excellent point! That, is exactly what scares me too, the vacuum of information! And if

something did happen, I doubt this administration has the knowledge, skills and smarts to orchestrate any meaningful and intelligent response. I seriously often wonder if we will see martial law at some point in the future as an excuse to take over the government.

13. Tillerson

According to rex, 'real men drill for oil'.

[RKP5637]

14. Yep, 'real men drill for oil' and kill the environment. People/wildlife/environment are just

collateral damage for huge profits. In essence, fuck the future of mankind.

[LuckyLib]

16. WHEN something happens, you have summed it up well.

This group of keystone cops will be on full-tilt overload. They can't even handle daily government life.

17. North Korea might do something in all of this disarray in the WH, it's hard to tell what

might happen. He also might be stupid enough to do a preemptive strike on Iran or North Korea because of their nuclear programs. He lives in a bubble and listens to himself and those that pull his strings. Hard to tell what might happen, but my hunch is it would escalate quickly because he's a bully with limited strategical smarts.

5. Fucking pathetic.

[ananda]

6. Tillerson was put there for only one reason.

To gut the state department for V. Putin.

The business of state is being conducted by
WH insiders like Bannon and Kushner, along
with Ivanka and 45 when business deals are
conducted.

[MedusaX]

7. Strange combination...

Kushner Cohn and McMaster?

Kushner has an existing relationship w/ Videgaray....
But it was Tillerson & Kelly who recently went to Mexico City ....which made sense State & Homeland

Now Economic advisor and National Security?

And Screw T-Rex?
Not even a courtesy invite...
even one that would be instantly Declined on his behalf ?

How to say F*CK YOU... ?
let 45 & crew show you their many ways..

[ffr]

9. The dog ate their homework excuse

It is just pathetic.

[world wide wally]

10. Toto, I don't think we're in America anymore

[Beartracks]

11. WTF? Trump regime has no idea how to do their jobs. n/t

[FakeNoose]

18. The real State Dept. professionals

... all lost their jobs. Some were with the State Dept. for 35 or 40 years.
One of them was on Rachel Maddow's show last night.

These new Trump critters don't know WTF they're doing.

[Beartracks]

19. It's why Repubs always say govt doesn't work. Cuz they just suck at it. n/t

[tiptonic]

12. Blind

Blind leading the Blind..
