And how sure are we that they "resigned"? Edit: Yeah, you guys are on top of it, was in a big hurry earlier, sorry.

kleinbl00, have you previously covered the deplorable Rex Tillerson, new head of the state department?

I don't know a lot about Rex Tillerson. I've had the impression that he's an oil man, doing what oil men do. Considering oil comes from Texas, Alberta and a long list of shady lookin' places, you end up with a lot of Texans and Canadians who deal with the shady.

I suspect that Tillerson is primarily motivated by money, and if he couldn't make more money by being the head of the State Department than being the head of Exxon, I doubt he'd do it. Expect things to benefit oil companies and oil company shareholders at the expense of others.

Lollerskates. That makes me like him more. I mean, he might bathe in the blood of babies for all I know but beating someone up because they get along with Putin is fuckin' retarded if Exxon sent him to Russia to get along. I mean, the dude got a CivE and started working for Exxon straight out of undergrad.

my favorite Rex Tillerson tweet

Any thoughts on whether Trump or Tillerson will hire a man with metal teeth as personal security?

I'll be astonished if we don't end up with a Persian cat and some killer hats but metal teeth isn't classy. Sad.
