re: Anyone remember Rex Tillerson? You know, Trump’s first Secretary of State?

It was GHWB who said he wanted a “ kindlier, gentler” America. This on the heels of eight years of Reagan.

If that isn’t a backstabbing …

Pence is a pencil necked establishment clown. He dishonestly mischaracterized what Trump was trying to do on January 6. Which makes him part of the problem.

Remember, Americans hurting isn’t his concern.

Ok you believe what you want to believe and I’ll go with the most obvious explanation.

Why don't you explain why each of those statements make Tillerson look like an imbecile?

When Trump transitioned with Obama, Obama communicated his greatest concern, and the greatest impending challenge for Trump. It was NoKo, Kim Jong Un, nukes, and the dangers involved.

Obama had not been able to crack that nut. Trump did. Tillerson belittling (if he actually did) the NoKo accomplishment would be unquestionably imbecilic.

All he cares about is some legacy, and hes fricking that up.

“I used to go into meetings with a list of four to five things I needed to talk to him about, and I quickly learned that if I got to three, it was a home run, and I realized getting two that were meaningful was probably the best objective,” he told Foreign Policy.

He explained that he started “taking charts and pictures with me because I found that those seemed to hold his attention better.”

“If I could put a photo or a picture in front of him or a map or a piece of paper that had two big bullet points on it, he would focus on that, and I could build on that,” Tillerson told the outlet. “Just sitting and trying to have a conversation as you and I are having just doesn’t work.”

To be fair, this is exactly how it goes when technical folks like engineers try to explain things to management to sell the need to build new substations, upgrade DCS systems, replace compressors, etc

Ole Rex became a victim of the system he once was part of.
