With his own stock falling after bucking President Donald Trump on both Charlottesville and Russia, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is having problems filling important posts at the State Department as career diplomats look to bail on an administration that is reeling.


According to Vanity Fair, the White House is considering shuffling existing staffers around as a another shake-up looms similar to Chief of Staff Reince Priebus leaving only to be replaced Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly.

As Tillerson, a former Exxon executive, has gone rogue leading to to rumors he may soon be gone, the White House is finding itself hard-pressed to bring new blood into the administration as existing staffers are looking outside.

According to one GOP consultant, he is being inundated with networking administration staffers looking for a path out of an understaffed White House.................

I think the State dept is one of the most important cabinet offices we have. Yet--look at what is happening to it.

1. The Trump administration is toxic. It would be like hanging onto a failing company. Hanging in

with Toxic Trump would likely limit their entire career. Plus, it would be IMO a horrible experience. Who wants on their resume they supported Toxic Trump.

7. The term "Toxic Trump" is the perfect name for this administration

It is poisoning everything it touches. Toxic Trump will my new term for this mess.

Thank you!

8. YVW! And perfect in response to crooked Hillary. n/t

2. Fools. Don't wait -- get out now. You can update your resume

at home, in your kitchen, with a pot of home brewed coffee.

3. It's Friday! Who will be fired today?

Really! Who will it be?

4. Show some honor and just go

6. That raises a real question.

Someone who's hanging in there -- State Department, White House, somewhere else, I forget where -- said (anonymously of course) that he was disgusted, but that if he left, he'd be replaced by someone really bad. By grimly hanging on he was able to prevent some bad stuff that would otherwise happen.

If an officer is staying under those circumstances, he or she is taking one for the team. I'd consider that honorable.

5. Bannons agenda

working as planned

9. Believe it or not, the vast majority of the federal govt

runs on autopilot. In my two and half decades with DoD, we never had much interaction with anyone outside our command except our immediate hq commands, far below WH level. I'm sure we were not alone.

10. He can just hire from inside the Trump Crime Family

those are the only peepo he trusts, anyway.

Maybe we'll finally meet Meredith McIver!

12. She ghost wrote his book DJT think like a champion

Written in 2009 where he praised Barack Obama in the foreword of the book. Barack Obama Election ushers in a different world. He bashed Bush and said Obama was not walking into an easy or enviable situation. ( reading this I know he did not write it because he doesn't use worlds like that!

I found this book at my sisters while helping her clean out her late right wing husband. I was shocked reading the passage where he said," the world is excited about Barack Obama and the new United States. Let's keep it that way".

I tore out the page where he praised Obama and am saving the book to burn in the winter.

11. What did the Tanzaniac claim about his admin.?

"fine-tuned machine", "well-oiled operation", "swiss watch". Yeah, my ass

[YOHABLO]

13. And the one person we really wish would leave ain't going no where.
