Rex Tillerson: The most glaring example of a competent person put in a position for which he is . .

. . . . simply incompetent.

Like Ben Carson, only worse.

Like Rick Perry, only worse.

Like Betsy DeVoss, only worse.

He makes very few public statements, and avoids the media like the plague, because HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE about diplomacy, the intricacies of international relations or geopolitics.

He knows oil.

He is quite possibly a miserable person right now because he is likely smart enough to know he is a fraud and WAY over his head in his current role.

I don't feel sorry for him. If someone offers you a job for which you are not qualified, you politely decline the offer. That he didn't means he is quite arrogant to think he could do the job of SOS without the commensurate experience. I can totally see them thinking "How hard can it be?"

I guess seeing these oil deals through is worth the misery. Much like Trump as the SCROTUS, who I believe is equally miserable.

I don't feel a bit sorry for him. But think about Dumb Nikki Haley, all visual aids of dead babies, almost a challenge to 45 and then Rex is like, Nikki hold my beer. It All Stinks.

I will never feel any thing, other than contempt, for all of them.

However, he's smarter than Trump in this respect: he's keeping his mouth shut because he knows he has no idea how to do his job.

Please resign, for the sake of your country, yourself, and your family. Don't you need to spend more time with your family, something, anything. You are a complete stooge!

That is the measure of utter incompetence.

No more need be said after that.
