Tillerson's taking some time off. Wtf

[octoberlib]

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert flatly denied rumors on Tuesday that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is planning his departure from the agency but noted that he serves "at the pleasure of the president."

"We have spoken with the secretary. The secretary has been very clear he intends to stay here at the State Department," Nauert told reporters at a press briefing. "We have a lot of work that is left to be done ahead of us. He recognizes that. He's deeply engaged in that work."

"He does, however, serve at the pleasure of the president just as any cabinet official would," she added.


Nauert acknowledged that she had not spoken to Tillerson on Tuesday and said that the secretary is currently out for travel. Tillerson's public schedule for Tuesday shows no public events or appointments.
"Just taking a little time off. He just came back from that mega-trip overseas, as you all well know," Nauert said. "So he's entitled to take a few days himself."

1. I wouldn't be surprised if he does. He has enough of a brain

to realize how narcissistic, capricious and dumb his boss is. He knows full well he could be destroyed if he keeps working under those conditions.

The corporate world's shark tank probably looks a lot safer to him.

2. He is going to resign, he doesn't need this bullshit.

3. Plus, you remember all those times Sec. Clinton would take a week off after a multi-country trip . .

Oh, wait, never mind.

4. Hillary Clinton traveled the world non-stop serving this country as SoS,

campaigned while she had pneumonia and the Orange Micropenis constantly disparaged her (to the cheers of his maniac Hillary hating crowds) of not having STAMINUUUUUH. Now the OM doesn't put in a full day of work ever and has to take off to relax or play golf constantly and our new SoS went on ONE mega-trip and needs to take a few days off to rest?!!!! The hypocrisy of these people just gets worse by the day!!!
