He's going to head the CIA? This asshole?

You bet.

A guy after The Duce's own heart.

Interrogators Blast Trump’s ‘Clueless’ CIA Pick Tom Cotton

The Central Intelligence Agency is set to receive an advocate of waterboarding, sweeping surveillance powers, jailing journalists, and conflict with Iran as its next director.

A combat veteran and first-term Arkansas GOP senator, Tom Cotton has wasted little time building his twin reputations as one of the Senate’s hardest hardliners and friendliest Donald Trump allies.

Tillerson is wrecking the State Department according to Trump's will, but he called the Boss a moron, and that can't stand.

So what if we're about an inch from war on the Korean Peninsula and Tillerson is one of the few in the administration who would rather not do that, if it can be helped.

White House Plans Tillerson Ouster From State Dept., to Be Replaced by Pompeo

The White House has developed a plan to force out Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, whose relationship with President Trump has been strained, and replace him with Mike Pompeo, the C.I.A. director, perhaps within the next several weeks, senior administration officials said on Thursday.

Mr. Pompeo would be replaced at the C.I.A. by Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas who has been a key ally of the president on national security matters, according to the White House plan. 

Mr. Cotton has signaled that he would accept the job if offered, said the officials, who insisted on anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations before decisions are announced.

It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Trump has given final approval to the plan, but he has been said to have soured on Mr. Tillerson and in general is ready to make a change at the State Department.
