Out With the Old, In With the Slightly Less Old

     This time the rumors were true: Rex Tillerson's been voted off the island.
     And so's his assistant Steve Goldstein for contradicting the White House about it. He'd been on the job only since December 4th.
     Oh, and Rob McEntee, Trump's body man, is also out. But he landed softly as he got rehired by the Trump campaign.
     It's barely afternoon as I write this (1:37 PM).
     What you see above are just 22 of the 36 people that have either been fired or had resigned within the first 14 months of Trump's International Rolling Dumpster Fire Show. Note that three of them were around so briefly or were so furtive in their duties that they never had official portraits done. Their blank avatars stick out in that graphic like three Unsubs in an FBI organized crime chart.
     Which is a more apt description than we know.
     In keeping with Trump's dickish management style, he never personally told Tillerson he was being fired. In fact, the Secretary of State didn't know about it until he read Trump's tweet announcing his termination. Which is more or less how former FBI Director James Comey found out about his termination last May 9th.
     So, who's going to replace Tillerson at State? Well, Trump's got that covered, comrades- He's going snap off Mike Pompeo at the CIA and try to snap him on at Foggy Bottom pending Senate Republicans rubber-stamping the nomination. Which is going to be very interesting considering Pompeo is one of 17 intelligence chiefs who unanimously agreed that Russia did indeed meddle with our election.
     Statesmanship by social media. Beautiful thing, isn't it?
