Tillerson and his silent coup on behalf of Russia.

He is actually the worst pick for SOS than anyone. He is smart, treacherous, smooth and evil.

I had hoped that civil servants could hold their own under him but he has fired about 25% of career civil servants in the State Department. It's kinda scary because many intel agents work for SD without public knowledge. I don't think this administration has any idea about what our government is all about and how it operates. And they are too arrogant to learn.

take over without a shot being fired. That is why he walks around all arrogant and self assured that no one will touch him.
We don't dare even talk about that in "The home of the brave". We just watch and shake our heads while Trump and Putin take over.
