New sanctions on Russia. Trump ain't gonna be happy...
Russia sanctions bill passes the House 419-3 . I'm willing to bet Rohrbacher was one of the three.
It really is no surprise Tillerson is stepping back. With these sanctions he can't do any of what he was planted to do.
He's likely to be a lot smarter than Trump, right? He's getting out now before it gets really hairy.
Yep, he'll slip off quietly and be back in his role at Exxon by Christmas.
What sort of SOS takes "time out" after barely 6 months in the job? Imagine it was Hillary
She lacks stamina, remember?
I must admit I don't understand the love affair so many people have with Rachel Maddow. I've tried to watch her show several times and it's like being lectured for an hour by an over enthusiastic politics student.
As for McCain, its just cruel and heartless that he voted for this.

Oh Goddammit noWon't get better. Rumours are Nikki Haley is already being considered for the post.
Rudy G for AG!
Don't worry, they've secured good healthcare for themselves - they just don't want their voters to have it.It won't matter. He can probably pay the bill or get voters to donate or something.
Ugh, he's just sickening. Hopefully all this shit will be his undoing. Hopefully, although doubtful.
Lol piss off the Attorney General AND the entire intel community. That'll help you
I've said this on Facebook... everyone keeps trying to find historical comparisons to Nixon, but I think folks should start looking at the Warren G. Harding administration for comparisons to Trump.Yup. He looks really old in that picture too, and quite strained. Hopefully it's taking his toll on him. I just hope he has upset the intel community so much that they work tirelessly on digging up anything that can bring him down and completely destroy him.
But but her emails!!
Is there a way to find out who is paying for McCain's treatment or what kind of insurance he has?
I'm sticking with ole' Wilhelm II, a dumbass who thought he was untouchable and destroyed all his family handed him on a silver platter.I've said this on Facebook... everyone keeps trying to find historical comparisons to Nixon, but I think folks should start looking at the Warren G. Harding administration for comparisons to Trump.
His "Ohio Gang" of close friends that he put into advisory positions around him brought on scandal after scandal until it culminated in the "Teapot Dome Scandal" and revelations of extramarital affairs, the stress of which likely led to his death.

A very applicable foreign comparison, to be fair.I'm sticking with ole' Wilhelm II, a dumbass who thought he was untouchable and destroyed all his family handed him on a silver platter.
At least we can remember his tenure for that one great song.
Well done, sir. Well done.@Carolina Red The scandal of Nixon, the sleaziness and vulgarity of Warren G and the incompetence of Buchanan.

He's also one of the first major historical figures to exits in the mass communication era. There's going to be millions of hours of footage from every angle of his ugly face saying stupid shit.Trump's definitely going to be remembered as the new worst. Through the prism of time, his utter lack of achievement combined with his crassness and lack of respect for the demands of the office, in every facet of it, will be undisputable.
Collins and Reed said:“I swear, [the Office of Management and Budget] just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” Collins says. “With no measurement, no thinking about it, no metrics, no nothing. It’s just incredibly irresponsible.”
“Yes,” Reed replies. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” apparently referring to the president. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”
“I’m worried,” Collins replies.

Whether we like it or not, his infamy will live with the ages.Sorry, but major historical figure? First? In the age of the first black president, Merkel, the eternal chancellor, Assad, the major player in the conflict pretty much defining our decade? You overestimate his importance. Yes, he will be remembered. Bot not more than those I've mentioned and tons of others I've forgot.

The US elected clowns before. They never elected an unabashed one, till now.
