dumb as a grain of sand!

That one exception, of course, was agreeing to serve in trump's regime for a limited time. That was spectacularly dumb.

And god I wish I knew how to insert a Blues Brother clip!

Hit the share button, select ‘copy link. ’ Go back to the page and hit “paste”. And voila.

That said, he's got more brains in his little finger than Trump can dream of having in his own thick skull.

You don't get to the God Pod at Exxon Mobil without having substantial intelligence and skills. It's just knowing that intelligence was used for a career in the service of evil . . . . .

Our current one is worse.

I can't stand that evil man.

He is, after all, the guy who test-marketed his new playpen as the Department of Swagger -

On Monday, coupled with the launch of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Instagram account, the State Department launched a campaign rebranding itself the “Department of Swagger.”

Replete with a composite photo of William Shakespeare, Gen. George S. Patton and Pompeo (because the Bard and Old Blood and Guts all had #swagger, apparently. Who knew?) and a PhotoShopped State Department seal now ringed by the words DEPARTMENT OF SWAGGER, the not-so-soft relaunch is the diplomatic version of New Coke. Put aside the fact that the department’s catchphrase sounds more like a product line of Old Spice deodorant than a label for a venerated institution that’s been led by American icons from Thomas Jefferson to Dean Acheson. Yes, it’s a long strange trip from “present at the creation” to “swagger.”

The new slogan is the latest indication that the administration is misdiagnosing State’s real problems: understaffing and under-resourcing to the point of wholesale dysfunction, the damage to America’s reputation in the world and a five-letter millstone dragging down our diplomats that’s spelled T-R-U-M-P. #Swagger misdiagnoses one problem—a hollowed out civilian force—and exacerbates another: managing the perception of arrogance and reckless unilateralism.

#Swagger sounds like a tagline on a Cialis commercial. To run the State Department, it takes a village—not Viagra. And right now at the State Department there is not even a small village. Forty out of 100 major management jobs are vacant, and five of six undersecretary positions are unfilled by Senate-confirmed appointees. We don’t even have nominees for ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan or Australia. Anything happening in those countries where you might want a chief of mission?

I'll just leave it at that.

like flies to shit, like attracts like

Why'd ya pick someone dumb and lazy, trumpie?

Trump picked Michael Cohen!

anyone disses you or pisses you off, you smack them. It apparently was old man Dump's parenting mantra and he taught his son to always hit back. It is the one thing you can always count on, with the exception of Flynn. He has yet to smack Flynn, and he must know that Flynn has totally given him up. Once the report is out, and all hope that Flynn will go to jail for him is gone, he'll be calling him a dumbass too. It's pathetic. Dump is pathetic. He just reeks of stupidity.

Pompeo doesn't have that problem about violating the law?

Most people grow out of that by fifth or sixth grade.

Does he remind me of my father in law, it drives me crazy. I know his family has to kiss his ass because he has a will, but the American citizen won't get a damn thing but screwed.

Needy, so damn weak. These people take all the oxygen out of a room.

who keeps hiring "dumb" people?

meet Pot.

Always! He's the lazy, ignorant, stupid, demented ass. Pompeo is just a yes man and drumpf loves him for that, don't think he has one thought in his head but "how high, master".

For such a giant brain and having the best words, you'd think he could do better than slinging the same insults back at people. The whole "I know you are but what am I" defense he uses is ridiculous coming from a 70 year old man.

"His tenacity, broad experience and deep understanding of geopolitics make him an excellent choice for Secretary of State," Trump said in the statement.

Trump on Tuesday morning called Tillerson 'one of the truly great business leaders of the world' in a Tweet promoting the pick, which has already drawn controversy on Capitol Hill.

An official statement from Trump's transition went through Tillerson's lengthy corporate record, calling him 'among the most accomplished business leaders and international dealmakers in the world.'

Trump called Tillerson's career 'the embodiment of the American dream.'

“He does massive deals in Russia. He does massive deals for the company, not for himself, but the company,” Trump said last weekend. He described Tillerson, who has been an Exxon employee for 41 of his 64 years, and became CEO in 2006, as a “world-class player.”
