48. "Lenin Prize Tillerson" has hollowed out the State Dept. Trump never even met the guy before...

...appointing him to be SoS. Who the hell recommended him? Who put him forward?

The day after Tillerson took office he fired everyone with experience -- I mean decades and decades of experience. You know what "institutional memory" is? He pretty much gave the US State Department a prefrontal lobotomy. Their desks are empty; they are not being replaced.

Frankly, that counts as a bombshell for me.
