I can't even fathom what's going on.

The intel community comes out and basically announces that they are investigating you under suspicion of treason, and uh, you just kinda go "Have fun, I'll see yall doing things that people who are doing treason would do?"

Like what the fuck.

No? That was the argument for mattis

Tillerson was briefly elevated because he's apparently competent and likeable in person and because he was against Trump pulling out of the Paris accord since it would hurt his efforts at the State Department.

Detain him at the airport when he returns to the US since he'll be coming back from A GODDAMN ENEMY STATE. Travel ban right?

Christ.
You assume he's coming back...
Then we'll hear that Tillerson quits and is never coming back to the US.

I expect when/if anything is to come of the fbi investigation it'll happen suddenly where arrests start happening; or people will be tipped off beforehand and "diplomatic" trips to Russia will begin as the rats start leaving the ship never to return.

Does anyone read articles anymore? He's skipping the meeting to meet with the Chinese president.

We read it. It isn't skipping the NATO meeting by itself that is raising eyebrows. It is the visit to Russia + everything that we know about the possible Trump & co - Russia ties that is raising eyebrows.

Eh he may need to be there for that China trip. That shit should be all hands on deck and NATO will survive with a deputy in his place. China/US relations might not.

I've got no problem with him missing this meeting.

Of course, of the White House wasn't run by incompetent hacks then someone would have realized these two dates coincided. I'd bet good money that China picked the date of the trip and also knew exactly when that NATO meeting was. Guys flexing all over Trump and he's too stupid to even know it.

If they weren't run by incompetent hacks, they might have realized that today was probably the worst day they could announce something like this.

Darkness no more
? It's the title of the article. Also, Trump and Tillerson had freedom to schedule the meeting with the Chinese president. They could have shifted that to accommodate the meeting with NATO.



I started reading the article and must have read past the headline. Didn't realize that was the headline itself. Seems like a clickbait headline from Reuters.
 
It's a verbatim description of what is actually happening

It doesn't beg any question. It doesn't contain any inflammatory language.

I'm guessing we're redefining 'clickbait' to mean the same thing we redefined fake news to mean: 'news story I don't like'.
 
Nah, it's more sinister than that. It's "It doesn't matter if I'm blatantly doing it, I'll do it right in your face, and our GOP Congress will never, ever, ever, impeach us so we're protected."

This.There are multiple fronts they could be caught on but the GOP is made of chickenshit stuffed into old, white people suits. Thankfully the sane side of the US is trying their best to take them to task.

Seriously this makes no fucking sense. With everything clouding this Administration why in the living hell would they allow him to do this?

I don't fucking get it... What why? I am trying to make sense of all of this.

Just a reminder. This goblin gut the State Department of career diplomats. Totally not suspicious. Paving the road for some backdoor dealings.

Would not be such a big deal if the State Department wasn't in shambles. So much senior leadership left and Tillerson does not even have his Deputy SoS yet. Trump administration is deliberately running the government with hundreds of senior spots unfilled
 
And the foreign press and diplomacy people will write even further examples of out of touch, tired, distant, unreliable, and unknowledgable US diplomats during this abstentea from important duty in lieu of American takes on it.

And THAT'S best case scenario. With a whole heapin' helpin' of hope to get us there.

At this point, I think Trump could change the US Flag to this and still be in office and have people supporting him.

I can't imagine that any NATO nations actually believe the US would live up to its obligations for the thing anyway at this point.
 
Hoping wikileaks to release a video of Trump getting pissed on with Putin watching and Tillerson jacking off in the corner or something

We need something of this level to get these fuckwits out of office

Then we'd never get rid of Trump. You have no idea how big the constituency is for such videos.
