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.

Most of these jerk-offs are gone (which probably explains the missing silverware and furnishings).

But apparently STILL some work to do at the White House!

Can’t you just picture these people being walked out the door, and they are crying and running down the street to Barky’s house:

“They fired us!!! What are we going to do now? We can’t have the information we used to have...ohhh what a terrible day...and money, what are we going to do about money, we have millions to pay and now no money!!!”...

ROFL...wished I was there for a picture of all of this!!!

The collective crapping of pants by those not (yet?) terminated must be a sight to see. I hope they are monitoring all electronic traffic and file placement and deletion right now... they have to be in a mad scramble and will catch MANY traitors by this single action.

I have a partial box of gauze pads, if they need them. I would gladly donate a few pads to clean up the mess.

“Many of their underlings should soon be following...”

I think you are right. A lot of state department toadies just saw their sponsors get shown the door. Their prospects for the future look even more grim.

Awesome—Trump is finally rooting out the rat’s nest that has been in the State Department since the 1930s.

Question for diplomatic staff round the world: Did you either order a rainbow flag raised at your embassy, or did you use your hands to raise a rainbow flag at your embassy?

If yes, please put your personal items in a box and meet the security supervisor at the front desk.
