As of Tuesday morning, the wheels had entirely come off the Trump administration. Newly former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson learned he was being fired from a tweet. The guy Trump wants to replace him with, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, was a Russia-WikiLeaks cheerleader during the 2016 election.

Meanwhile, Trump may or may not stand by our oldest and closest foreign ally in condemning Russia, and by the way, Russia may or may not have just assassinated another Putin critic in the U.K.

Shut. The. Whole. Goddamned. Thing. Down.
