Why is he even talking about Tillerson while visiting hospitals in Las Vegas?!?! Why can't he say, "I believe Tillerson spoke to that this morning, and I will discuss it later after I visit with these amazing survivors. I would like to focus on their stories and needs right now."
Hey Bobby, feel fucking free to jump in at any time and contribute to removing the country from the chaos that is this presidency. Last I checked, you actually have the power to help make that happen.
Can someone talk to me about Corker? He was a Trump supporter during the primaries, right? At what point did he do a 180 and begin criticizing Trump? What do you think he knows about Trump/Russia?

He's retiring. He doesn't have to tow the line anymore. He can say what he wants.

He's been fairly critical since the spring? Neither Alexander or he campaigned for Trump very much because neither was up for reelection and it's not like TN was in jeopardy. Here and there you'd hear something about Corker and Trump like he might be the VP or later SecState.
Corker is basically a soulless hack but he's not stupid. I don't think he sees any value in kissing Trump's ass because he sees that this is a sinking ship and his career in TN is over. He was probably going to be primaried by Bannon and that crowd and had a legit D challenger. I doubt he wanted a tough reelection and Trumpy TN people have never been huge Corker or Alexander fans. Both are seen as establishment. Throw in a tough reelection with an unpopular president and a legit D challenger and he probably decided it wasn't worth the hassle to have two tough campaigns with real work to be reelected. I think a lot of people don't realize how people like Alexander and Corker have coasted to victory in the past few years.
Pete Souza's extreme pettiness may be the only thing that helps me cope.
Although, if I've been avoiding the news and see one of his posts as I'm scrolling through instagram, I'm all like "oh shit, what did Orange Foolius* do now?!"
*when I type Orange in my phone it now prompts me to type "Foolius."
