Rex Tillerson had confirmation hearings on Wednesday, for the position of Secretary of State. Watching a brief video compilation reminded me of Reagan, with the constant “I don’t recall” “I don’t know” and “I need more information”. I’m surprised someone didn’t ask him his name, just to get a fucking answer out of him. Think Progress has all the deadly details of the questions Tillerson found himself unable to answer, including questions about Exxon lobbying against U.S. sanctions in other countries. Tillerson tried to claim he didn’t have enough information to answer that one, either, even though he was the effing CEO of Exxon. Details at Think Progress.

I had a dream like this once. I think it was after reading a dystopian novel.
All of these people will be confirmed. This is all just a charade.
Yes, they’ll be confirmed, even though it couldn’t be more obvious that they are empty puppets without the hand up their backside.

Sadly, this is neither a novel nor a dream, but a classic case of life imitating and then outdoing art.

There’s a whole lot more than just a hand up their backside.
