Not to be confused with Michael Cohen, who has his own attorney.

I love the idea of Trump firing all his attorneys.

by now he should have left if he were truly bothered. Apparently he wants the fed reserve. chair bad.

I too think Tillerson is on the edge, I'd wager he's next.

I agree that he's had enough. I also think General Kelly will stay a while.

I hope Skank Conway is gone soon. I cannot stand that woman.

Congress returns next week and the crap is going to hit the fan big time. Tomorrow is the deadline for all the Congressional Sanctions on Russia,and as we heard today,Rex Boy is dragging his feet to say the least. This is going to piss off McCain in a major way.

Tillerson will likely be next and then/or Kelly Anne Conway...

But I think John Kelly is planning to help clear out the offices when Trump is taken away....

VERY self serving, and already been reported that her so called survey biz. is not exactly on the up and up.
OTOH, I think she will have enough sense to know when to flee the carnage, but maybe not quite yet.?

with warring cellblocks.

If Kelly leaves, it'll be the lifer crooks against the berserk sadistic freaks.

America is the impaled, bleeding hostage.

Your post struck me with its vibrant clarity and harsh but accurate depiction of this political moment.

"Lifer crooks and berserk sadistic freaks" - today's Republican Party.

My thought is three resignations, handed in very close to one another: Tillerson, Mattis and McMaster.

But Trump does not like being told what to do, an admittedly weird trait for a president, or even a king.
and he is chafing under Kelly's watch.

but I think America understands their roles and so does he. There would be an uproar if he fired them, but I have zero doubts he will try, because he is one sick asshole.

<snip>
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has thanked Mexico for its offer of relief for the victims of flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey.

Tillerson did not say whether the U.S. would be taking Mexico up on its offer of help, but he has said more on the matter than President Trump, who has not yet commented on Mexico’s offer.

Speaking ahead of a pre-planned meeting with Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray Caso, Tillerson said Mexico had “offered a wide range of assistance.”
