when I read articles saying “Now with Trump, George W. don’t look so bad, does he”, or “sure do miss Tillerson’s Boy Scout ethos, when compared to Pompeo”.

This bar is set so low......

Whenever someone says that about GW Bush, I remind them that he was just as bad as we thought he was and hundreds of thousands of people died because of his reckless rush to war. He was a terrible president, whereas Trump is flat out a terrible human being in every respect.

As for Rex, he wasn't a very effective Secretary of State, but reading about him in the new book, A Stable Genius, I can see he was principled and he stood up to Trump more than once. So I will give him some credit, he just was a bad choice for that position. Pompeo may been more prepared for the position, but he is corrupt and compromised.

And maybe Tillerson deserves some. But we allow the rest of these shit-wits to rehab their images at our peril. When this is over, people need to be held accountable, that’s why we are where we are, because there is always this “let’s take the high road and look forward, not back” bullshit.

Bullshit.

People who try to destroy my country in this way have got some payback coming.

I remember how outraged many of us were when no one was held accountable for the corruption of the Bush administration. I understand the whole "looking forward" mindset, but by letting so many people off the hook, we set the stage for what we are experiencing today. Torture, black sites, the financial meltdown, and pretty much anything to do with Iraq - no repercussions, no consequences, making it acceptable to be lawless and corrupt.

If there are no meaningful consequences, it just gives people permission to break the law.

POS that is consider by some to be POTUS now. It's very sad, indeed.

it is set so low. Took some digging to get there.

are to destroy competence and ethics.

.....will never trust the top executive of Exxon and their fomenting of oil wars for the purpose of having their damn pipelines from Russia through Ukraine, the Middle East and the Arctic.

Rachel Maddow's book about the oil and gas industry. It will open your eyes even more!

.... at the Cabinet meeting where they went around the table and professed that
they were so blessed that the Tangerine Turd was their wonderful Master - did
Tillerson participate in that public fellating?

He didn’t get near Trump’s ass.

Shameful and shameless at the same time.

“among the most sycophantic and obsequious people around Trump.”

I nominate Reince Priebus and/or Pence.

Towards the end, Reince Priebus became one of the major suck-ups in the room saying, "On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and blessing you've given us to serve your agenda and the american people and we're continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals."

Vice President Pence opened up by saying, "Thank you, Mr. President. The greatest privilege of my life to serve as vice president to a president who is keeping his word to the American people. and assembling a team that's bringing real change, real prosperity, real strength back to our nation."

,... suck ups and sycophants comprise Team trDump.

One of the first indications that not everyone found Rump's rump all that tasty.
