Wonder why the entire 7th floor of the State Department was fired? Did they think that after Hillary lost, nobody was going?

True Story, but they are underestimating Tillerson.

People in business eat a lot of crap sandwiches to get to the top. Tillerson is no exception. Stay humble, keep your wits, look for an opening...

Who was responsible for arranging the accommodations? Was it a snub, incompetence or an inexperienced person who didn’t realize that the press would run wild with the bad symbolism?

Either way, it’s a gaffe. I suspect it won’t be allowed to happen again.

“On his first trip abroad as U.S. secretary of state, Rex Tillerson was forced to stay at a sanitarium in a German village known for its hot springs, 30 minutes from where other world leaders gathered.”

I like staying at hot springs.

Oh, and who “forced” him to stay there?

I guess this is what happens when you refuse to bend over and kiss everybody’s @$$ the way Obama used to do.

Hahahah, the media muffed it again.
They could have said, “Tillerson stays as SPA while other
leaders were at Hotel 6...”.

Really. The conference organizers didn’t reserve room at the hotel for the US delegation?

He couldn’t stay at the US embassy in Bonn? Which is just a few minutes from the conference?

“Allies are anxious and obviously assuming the worse, that the U.S. may be preparing to pull back from the alliance writ large.”

Well, yes. If this is a surprise to anyone at this point they haven't been paying attention.

Bloomberg ain't above fake news either - noticed that the page with the article also had a little video titled: "Watch Tillerson's Awkward Meeting".

Need to do some chillin'...

Might consider engaging in the FReepathon too

Donate to FR

and maybe let others know it's on....
