T-Rex not all bad - Had Foggy Bottom people sobbing in their cars
[Daily Caller] State Department employees were seen crying in their cars after hearing the news President Donald Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Tuesday, according to a report.

The morale was reportedly so low after the announcement that many employees, including "seasoned diplomats," were seen crying in their cars outside of the building, CNN State Department correspondent Michelle Kosinski reported.

The news comes as Tillerson’s tensions between the two continued to rise since Tillerson took the job in 2017. The secretary of state was reportedly asked Friday to return to Washington from a trip abroad and told he would be fired.

#3 And CNN is portraying it as a tragedy that fat, unelected bureaucrats are crying because for once, they didn't get what they want.

God, I wish we had a media that was on our side.

#5 But I've been hearing for the last year how the "professionals" in the SD had nothing but disdain for T-Rex?


Did the media give me an incorrect picture?

#6 I wonder how many of them broke out their Obama dolls for comfort?

#7 I call that a feature.

And the ones that are crying need to be fired. If you can't handle this, you can't handle a dictator.

Y'all can go fuck yourselves.

#8 Rex Tillerson served at the pleasure of the president. When its time to move on, you move on.

I, for one, thank Mr. Tillerson for his service and wish Secretary Pompeo all the best.

#9 Deep State attempt to hold on to their Iranian Deal took a hit, it appears. I'm with Conan on this one.

#12 Were they weeping because Rex Tillerson is out, or because of the man who chosen to replace him, a man who will, from their perspective, be even worse?

Mr. Tillerson’s mandate was to downsize and refocus the state department. The incoming gentleman will not be a return to historic practices, so there should be even more retirements in the near future.

#13 Mr. Tillerson’s mandate was to downsize and refocus the state department.

Perhaps he began believing the press and started imagining he was a statesman rather than a downsizing CEO.
