If you're wondering why the US press doesn't have pictures of Secretary Tillerson at the Kremlin, that's because he ditched his press pool

We went from #Tillerson having no meeting w/ #Putin, to ditching his press pool to see Putin at the #Kremlin within 1 hour.

Caroline O.? @RVAwonk
By ditching his press pool, Tillerson is giving Russian state media total control of the narrative. That's significant.


...and, THIS:

This is wild. The @StateDept press release from their meeting with Sergey Lavrov begins with a reprimand (directed at a reporter).



...not a word in defense of the U.S. reporter from Sec. Tillerson seated directly opposite from the Russian ambassador. In fact, he just put on his spectacles and gave an uncharacteristically broad smile at the insult (per video on Lawrence O'Donnell's program).

5. Yeah, that's funny.

"Hey, driver...swing by Vlad's house. I want to drop in and say hi while we're in town." LOL!

3. K & R..& thanks!

4. Of course he did. This is when he made the deal with Putin.

Tillerson gave Putin his Thank You gift for helping out with Trumpsky's poll num...uh, the Syria situation. Actually, they hugged each other as the dollar signs rolled in their eyes, knowing that the sanctions would soon be lifted and the money pipeline would soon be flowing.

6. He had to go kiss his Master's ring

7. They can't have discussions about the Citgo takeover documented by reporters.

This has been all about Rosneft and oil. Why the fuck else did he pick Tillerson?

Why isn't this the number one story on the news every night. Russia is about to take over U.S. Citgo in the middle of the most blatant traitorous administration ever and these mother fuckers are still fawning over the emperor's non existent wardrobe.

Follow the fucking money. Try the ABC's of actual investigative journalism instead of killing us all with propaganda and half stories. Only the truth is going to protect them from the threats.

I can't express how much I hate the orange piece of shit, his minions and his puppet master.
