It appears that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had himself a snot nosed walleyed his fit at the White House in front of a crowd that included Reince Priebus, Jared Kuchner, Tillerson’s Chief of Staff Margaret Peterlin.

Tillerson exploded over issues that had been building for months.  The straw that broke the camel’s back was Johnny DeStefano, a political operative for Trump, telling Tillerson who he could and could not hire at the State Department.

Tillerson also complained that the White House was leaking damaging information about him to the news media, according to a person familiar with the meeting. Above all, he made clear that he did not want DeStefano’s office to “have any role in staffing” and “expressed frustration that anybody would know better” than he about who should work in his department — particularly after the president had promised him autonomy to make his own decisions and hires, according to a senior White House aide familiar with the conversation.

Yeah, well, we all know that the president’s promises are biodegradable.

Tillerson, who I imagine is pretty much used to getting his way, decided that maybe the president’s young and inexperienced crew might respond to hollering and promises to get a switch off the willow tree in the backyard.

They didn’t.

Kushner, who has cornered the market on gall, reportedly told Tillerson’s chief of staff that his “outburst was completely unprofessional.”

Oh, I imagine that Tillerson is going to have something to say about that, don’t you?

Screw Mika and Trump – this is the fight I want to watch.

UPDATED FOR MIKA’S RESPONSE (BELOW):

We’re all appalled that Cheeto Jesus has now infested Our White House for 160 days.  His behavior has become even more unacceptable, if that’s even possible, and his tweets more insulting, childish, and erratic.  This morning he went after Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, with eye-popping insults at the level of an 8th grader:

To make matters even worse, Sarah Huckabee Sanders appeared on the Official Network of the GOP and actually attempted to defend Trump’s idiotic behavior by saying he has to “fight far with far (fire with fire)”.

So, the tweets are shocking enough, but just how morally bankrupt does one have to be to actually defend that behavior?  We’re not in Kansas anymore, Todo.

Hold your nose and have a look:

Mika’s response on Twitter.  LOL!

Boom.

Short timer Jason Chaffetz is now saying part of his decision to resign was economic, saying he can’t afford 2 mortgages and college for his kids.  He wants a $2,500 per month housing allowance for members of Congress.  Chaffetz is a FIVE TERM representative.  Someone should remind ol’ Jason that the Founders never intended for elected positions in the Congress or the White House to be careers; it’s called public service.  You get elected, serve one or two terms, then GO HOME to live with the laws you passed.

Being a public servant is just that – being a servant.  You’re not supposed to get rich, or make a career out of it.  Congress itself has feathered its own nest for decades, entrenching fossilized members who should have gone home when bell bottoms went out of style.  I have zero sympathy for reps who sleep in their offices or struggle to pay bills – they should never be so comfortable that they stay.

Chaffeetz’s whining is just one more reason that term limits for EVERY elected official is a must.  Politicians are just like diapers.  They both need to be changed regularly and for the same reason.

Donald Trump cannot get diddle squat done.

For some reason, he doesn’t want his supporters to know that.  So, in what might go down as Olympic qualifying goofiness, he has taken to signing memos ceremoniously.

This is an honest to gosh picture of Trump signing a damn memo saying he supports privitazation of air traffic control.  Everybody else writes that stuff on a sticky note, but not Glitter Donald.

Look at Ted Cruz standing there like Trump just named him Man of the Damn Decade.

The more I watch Trump, the more I know Marco Rubio was right about the small hands.

I have talked to you before about the small Texas town of Victoria, close to the Gulf Coast and as red as a radish. Victoria has three Baptist churches within a three mile area because they can’t get along with each other.

Much to my delight, Victoria is large enough to have a newspaper, but small enough to print the the weekly crime report, my favorite reading.     I have Democratic friends in Victoria who send me the crime report when it’s especially good in their oh so Republican town.

You are going to love this one.  Under “Stolen” near the bottom are Hidden Pleasures.

And whoever did $200 worth of damage to front yard religious statues is going straight to hell.

Ya know what, Victoria could surely use some family counseling.

Oh, those great red Texas cities.
