He's now retweeting posts from extreme right wing UK organisations and telling May to mind her own business. Classy.

Rex Tillerson has been fired. Shortest tenure for a Secretary Of State in history? Maybe.
Putin's oil soaked buddy ousted by Trump (probably for calling him a fucking moron).
He was horrible at the job...but I bet he is dancing a jig right now.

David, while it looks likely Tillerson will be ousted, as far as I can see at the time I am posting this, he has not yet been officially fired.

Was Rex Tillerson fired? I saw some reports that had him out as of today, to be replaced by Mike Pompeo.

After reading David's post I checked CNN, then Googled "Rex Tillerson" for the latest news stories, and so far it's not confirmed. It could be within minutes of me posting this, but so far it hasn't been confirmed unless I missed something?

There's many reports saying there are plans to replace him, which I'm assuming means someone has said off the record that it IS happening, but the BBC are saying that the official word from the State Dept is that the rumours are not true.

As of the latest, Tillerson has been described as "serving at the pleasure of the President".
So basically he's hanging by a thread...

Must avoid making an obvious joke based on that headline:

Not only has Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, but ABC news has reported that not only has he promised full co-operation to Robert Mueller's probe, but is prepared to testify that Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians.

Tick, tock...
There's talk of a wall being built, but the only wall some should think about is a prison wall (if they've done wrong, I am of course not advocating jail for anyone who proves their innocence).

I wonder how much pressure Ivanka can put on "daddy" if her husband was looking at jail time?
