Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.

Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.

Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

This week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month.

“Good” would be an understatement.

You might be able to name an area of the swamp that needs more draining than Foggy Bottom, but you’d be hard pressed. It’s full of traitors, lunatics, and fools.

State and IRS are the worse US GOV agencies. Everyone in Gov lives off us.

Odor removers may indeed be required. You remember the problem with the Obama Campaign bus?

“”You remember the problem with the Obama Campaign bus?””

NO - one of the buses we taxpayers bought for him that he used a couple of times? I’ve been trying to find out what ever happened to those buses.....

Is Kennedy gone? He needs to be if not.. Yep - he’s gone - lasted 6 days after Trump’s inauguration. SUPER! I bet he didn’t leave any incriminating evidence behind - got away with murder (Chris Stevens) literally by blocking additional security for him...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_F._Kennedy

“”On January 26, 2017, when Rex Tillerson, Donald Trump’s nominee for United States Secretary of State, visited the United States State Department, Kennedy, Joyce Anne Barr, Michele Bond, and Gentry O. Smith were all simultaneously asked to resign from the department.””

The problem with the Obama bus in the 2008 campaign included a stench from the occupants that was overwhelming to many press people. Draw your own conclusions.
