Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?
Well, it lost a huge portion of its roof and part of a wall, so I don't know what to tell you. It certainly survived better than the hospital a block away. On the news I saw a car sitting in the waiting room that I'd been in a couple months earlier.

A mile north and it would've wiped my empty house off the face of the earth and my financial situation would be much better today for it.

I was working for Integris then. Their Southwest Medical hospital on Western has probably the best E.R. in the metro. Think working poor neighborhoods. I loved those E.R. folks.

edit- that woman whose husband was literally ripped from her arms into the sky was a friend and ex co-worker of my wife. I went to see her the next morning to let my wife & co-workers know how she was doing.

Yeesh. I'm very glad that nobody I knew there lost their home or life. Pretty sure that trail of destruction included the previous home of the coworker I bought the Corvette from, but they sold and were in Japan at the time.

Speaking of Tillerson, the State Department is completely dissolving its cybersecurity branch. Note that this isn't the internal security department, but the branch that focuses on cybersecurity diplomatic policy.

Is this tit for tat for Donnie saying he supports more sanctions?

facialimpediment
Feb 11, 2005

as the world turns
I've never been able to figure out why Tillerson has been so hell-bent on permafucking the State Department. I have some guesses:

- Hillary was best known there, ergo it must be broken
- DEEEEEEP STAAAAATE
- A private sector rear end in a top hat taking a look at a big federal agency and seeing duplication or "I don't need all these people, they make things take too long!"
- Tillerson is a Russia guy, the State Department hates Russia, therefore he's leaving all the careerists hanging with nothing to do
-They just don't care about diplomacy, they'd rather bluster around
- A general distaste for hoity-toity subject matter experts (Republicanism 101)

What's kind of odd is that Tillerson and Mattis kind of became best bros over these months. Donnie has also been VERY pissed off that State repeatedly says that Iran is still abiding by the terms of the nuclear deal (because they are), so Donnie is actively tasking West Wingers, and not State, for ways to get out of the Iran deal.

I personally bet Rex sticks around for a long time because Donnie hates firing people and most of these "advisor x is about to be kicked out" stories don't come to pass because Donnie changes his mind so drat much.

Informal cybersecurity adviser, so he's probably clearing a few paychecks until Fox News offers him a co-host spot on O'Reilly's old show.

If Tillerson goes, he will likely be replaced with an Iran hawk. Tillerson and Mattis just barely talked Trump down from not certifying that Iran complied with the nuclear deal. I think a new SoS is less likely to stand in Trump's way to scuttle Obama's biggest foreign policy legacy. I fear there is a decent chance that you guys will go to war with Iran in the next three years :ohdear:

Rudy learned that Trump often discards people when they are no further use to him. Christie got the same treatment.

Mattis also has no real choice but to be best bros with Tillerson if he wants to keep things together. Of course I'm also putting Mattis on a pedestal in this assumption; which I'm ok with.
