Bill Kristol: I guess you could say Trump chose Putin over Tillerson.

1. You could couldn't you? I like that

framing.. glad Kristol doesn't like trump.

[PJMcK]

3. It's jarring

In the Era of Trump, I find myself agreeing with some people with whom I have always disagreed. That's how upside down our world seems.

People like Bill Kristol, Max Boot, Ana Navarro and (gasp!) even Joe Scarborough are saying things that make sense. It's almost creating cognitive dissonance in my aging brain.

6. Add Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace to

that list.

I know what you mean.. I'm surprised I'm taking it as well as I am.. and that's not too well.

I did take a 5 month media blackout including DU.. so that helped my brain, I think.

I just want him to self implode so the whole world of sane people will be dancing in the streets.. and not just him.. all of his doormats, too.

11. I want him to implode

or have dietary mishap. He is destroying this country so are the repigs who are turning a blind eye to all these crimes. What the repigs would rather see the destruction and dismantling of the US instead of doing what they were elected to do???? Oh silly me, power corrupts absolutely. Taking away health care from people, ICE going after families???? WTF.

Also every fucking day it's all about him, he hasn't done anything for the American people just screwing everyone who is in his way. I hope he gets his just desserts. If he was a ruler in another country he would have been run out of country. Rant finished.

2. No sanctions, and no criticism of Putin allowed ... Yet House Intel dropped investigation.

We're all watching this unfold and nothing is being done. 45 can do anything he wants under these circumstances. It's scary.

4. This needs to lead

If in fact, Tillerson found out this morning through a tweet, the nightly news needs to lead with, "Trump fires Tillerson for criticizing Putin!"

[tavernier]

7. Rinse and repeat

[poboy2]

5. Oh, you can say it, and I will Bill. Not looking for your permission to do so.

I guess you can also say he is going through sycophants so fast that your girl Sarah P will be in the cabinet before we are done.

8. Duh

[Maggiemayhem]

9. I guess that threesome got old

Putin Tillerson Trump.

[SHRED]

10. Kristol should recognize traitorism

He is one.

Look no further than his work with PNAC and its murderous value of corporate interests over our country's interests.

[gratuitous]

12. Indeed

There's a reason his nickname is "Bloody" Bill Kristol. He's trying to distance himself now, but his career over the past three or four decades paved the way for a President Donald J. Trump. I'm going to need to see a little more penance from this asswipe before I elevate him to the status of deplorable human being.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. He Was More Stealthy

Still a snake. But, not a total buffoon. Like you, i need to see more, like calling for his removal and using his contacts to get some traction.

[OnDoutside]

14. Hold on !!! Isn't there another potential narrative here ? Tillerson has questions to answer about

how he was selected as SOS in the first place ?

- CEO of Exxon who suffered from the Russian sanctions (loss of a $500bn oil deal)
- Friend of Putin
- He never even met Trump until after the election

I would put it that this is Trump acknowledging that he's unlikely to get the sanctions removed, thus Tillerson is no longer of use to Trump. That, and the grudge about the Fucking moron comment.
