From The Week:
Report: Tillerson, Mnuchin, and Mattis have a 'suicide pact' where if one resigns, they all do
October 4, 2017
On Wednesday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson brushed off reports that he was close to stepping down over the summer, frustrated over President Trump's fast and furious Twitter fingers and insufficient staffing, and one U.S. official believes he knows why Tillerson didn't resign, despite his annoyance.
The official told BuzzFeed News that Tillerson has a "suicide pact" with Defense Secretary James Mattis and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, meaning if any one of the Cabinet secretaries becomes the target of Trump's ire, all three will leave together. One way of getting on Trump's bad side would be by calling him a "moron," which NBC News says Tillerson did following a meeting in July at the Pentagon. When asked by reporters on Wednesday if he did call Trump a moron, Tillerson replied that he doesn't "deal with petty stuff like that."...
Golly, imagine if we'd found out the Obama Administration had...
...yadda yadda yadda...
...for the one millionth time.
Meanwhile, in public ol' OJT Tillerson is still sounding off that President Stupid is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being he's ever known in his life:
Because that's the price of playing for Team Evil.
Behold, a Tip Jar!

Inside word is that Tillerson has motivation to stay on board until at least year-end due to tax consequences of having sell off (some) of his filthy lucre to take this "jawb." Rumor has it that if Rexxon leaves before Dec 31, he has a hefty fee to pay. Of course, taxes and fees are for the little people, but maybe Rexxon's tax accountant told him he couldn't dodge and weave away from this fine.
OTOH, another rumor has it that he's trying to negotiate lucrative oil deals, possibly with the Rooskies, that will inure to his personal benefit.
You gotta figure that even a Greedheaded Grifting BigOil CEO hadda know exactly who and what Trump was before he took this jawb: an effen MORON. So Rexxon stated the obvious probably out of justifiable frustration at Trump throwing yet another idiotic and dangerous monkey wrench in diplomatic manuevers that Rexxon has been somewhat accomplishing (against a yuuuge amount of odds).
Still and all what's the over/under on Rexxon getting the boot from Dolt 45 in the Friday evening nooz dump?? I would have a big laugh over that, even though Corker - who is quitting and just barely avoiding publically (that we know of) calling Dolt 45 an effen MORON - has publically stated that the only thing holding the USA back from assured DOOM and destruction is Tillerson, Kelly & Mattis.
Somehow I simply cannot see a chronic greedheaded grifter like Mnuchin pulling the plug before he has to. If Rexxon's a goner, I don't count on Mnuchin jumping ship... yet. Not counting much on Mattis either. But makes for good hot gossip, don't it?
Yeah, can you imagine if anything came even marginally close to this level of idiocy and insanity with ObamaCo? Sh*t the racist morans were having total COWS because Obama ate a burger with a knife and fork and wore a tan suit once. The horror! The horror!
Oh for the good old days....
If any of that leaves you in low spirits,
If you are discouraged and impatient for the pivot. Try alcoholism.
The kamikaze (cocktail)--Pact
Shake all ingredients together with ice. Strain into glass, garnish and serve. The Kamikaze is made of equal parts vodka, triple sec and lime juice. According to the International Bartenders Association, it is served straight up in a cocktail glass.
Love the title.
That's 80% of why I wrote it :-)
You guys are frickin' wonderful. Thanks for the encouragement!
