Tillerson blows up at top White House aide

[XenaLee]

I see that I was wrong to bring this post to another thread.  My apologies @INVAR (and to anyone who was aghast by my doing so).

But I think your post is terribly disrespectful to this forum and to your wife.  What made it so shocking is I would never have expected someone who spends so much time judging the moral actions of others to so describe his daily "bj's" and breach the sanctity of marital privacy in such a demeaning way.

Will you next be telling us what you grab?

I'll repeat here what I posted elsewhere .... I hope you delete this.

Thanks.

Wow.  It would seem that you have a very selective sense of outrage there.  One for posters you don't agree with ..... and one for your hero, Trump.  Do I really need to go into what Trump said to grab?  You seem to accept any thing that Trump says or does as A-Ok... yet you criticize someone here for saying much less?  Something just isn't right with you... and I don't mean your nic.

No, dear @XenaLee  I'm just fed up with the hypocrisy of the self-righteous NeverTrumps and the Christian Sanhedrin masquerading as principled conservatives. 

Sue me.

Well join the club.  I'm getting a bit fed up with your hypocrisy and BS too, as a matter of fact.  As for that self-righteous stuff...

check a mirror.

A very odd exchange.  And, the longer it went the odder it got.

Wow @XenaLee  .... did you mean to sound so brittle? 

Well, regardless,  I'm sorry.  I didn't realize you were a proud member of the Sanhedrin.  Had I known I would have softened my words to accommodate the snowflake in you.  My bad.  Again .... sorry.  I'll do my best to remember this for future communication. Promise.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend!  Hopefully you'll get outside and enjoy family, friends, a little patriotism, some homemade barbeque and the summertime weather.  BR will be here when you return.

Oh puhleeze.  You're the one that started in on the snotty posting to and about INVAR ... and now you're feigning innocence....?   What a load of manure you so love to shovel there.   If anyone is being "brittle"...

that would be you.

This morning's tweeting from Trump certainly lends credence to the accusations of 'unprofessional'.

I certainly do not discount the possibility, given the fruits of the man even as late as this morning.

He is no statesman, and certainly completely unprofessional.

Checked out the twitter a little while ago.  I can't believe this nut is our president.  Do I think that he can do good things for the country?  Yes, if he keeps his promises on immigration and repealing O care.  But this guy is nuts.  It appears to me that any criticism of him brings on a twitter tantrum.  And the tweets about the media are getting old.  Every President takes criticism.  Trump wants none.

Mr. President take it like a man.  Quit whining you mental case.

Oh, and I don't really like Tillerson.   After I found out about his gay agenda with the Boy Scouts.  But Trump made him Secretary of State and he should let him make his staffing decisions.  Gay Boy Scout Leaders?

I agree with it all, though I couldn't have said it as well.

Take a Midol and listen to Sergeant Hulka's advice.

If that doesn't work then Adrian Cronauer had a great suggestion you might find interesting when you discover that it's twue what they say about us people being 'gifted'.

I don't give a fig is it was in the Bible, @Smokin Joe

@INVAR  couldn't control himself and missed a great opportunity to practice self-deprecation.   It was an alley-opp.  Especially when you consider whom it was that put it up there.  (Frank or Wing?)

Nope...he's so caught up in his ego and self-importance that he uses his dear wife as a joke prop on a political forum.

"Better to keep your mouth shut and, to some, be a butt of a joke, than open it and confirm it to all."

Of course this is just my opinion.   But ask him if he'd post that exact post on his FB timeline. 

And anybody who 'knows' @Right_in_Virginia on the forum all these years, knows that her motives are based upon human dignity and decency.

He should apologize no only to @Right_in_Virginia, but to the entire forum.

More selective, self-righteous outrage here?   Why yes.  I think it is.   

It's just amazing to me... how the candidate that you guys champion here daily has said much worse.... unprovoked, mind you.  And he represents the entire nation.  Yet suddenly you guys are all prudish and offended over something posted in response to something else posted on a friggin forum?  Ludicrous.  Among other things.

It's just as amazing to me the ridiculous lengths some will go to defend the indefensible.

I find it hard to be brittle @XenaLee  when I'm laughing my arse off .... 

You keep me in giggles... please, don't ever change.

Thank you all for the concern about the decorum of the forum, please don't worry about it any further.  We have this.

Now, let's get back to the topic at hand:  Tillerson's staffing issues.

Should we start calling you Lazarus?

Just don't call him "sir", he works for a living.

If you've been in the military, you understand the joke. If not, the NCOs do the dirty work in the military, while the officers sip coffee or play golf.

I must say that wasn't my experience as a young officer: during my first year in Germany, I had both Chaparral air defesne platoons, had Staff Duty Officer 2-3 times a week, had several extra duties such as Energy Conservation Officer (thanks Carter!), NBC Warfare Officer, Augmentation Reserve Force Officer, to name 3. Never a dull moment, drank a lot of coffee but couldn't find the time to play golf.  lol

Things eased up my last two years, when I was "kicked upstairs" to Battalion HQ. Staff Duty was a couple of times a month, no extra duties, just staff work.
