Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who has repeatedly endured apparent slights from President Donald Trump, said on Thursday that some days he feels like he needs to “curl up in a ball.”Tillerson traveled to Geneva, where he met with staff and families of the U.S. mission there. He also toured nearby parks, according to ABC News.The secretary of state was filmed admiring a statue of what appeared to be a small group of people embracing one another.“Yeah, some days I feel like I need to do that — curl up in a ball,” Tillerson said, laughing.Tillerson earlier this month held a news conference to insist he's never considered resigning after NBC News reported he was on the verge of leaving over the summer and that he referred to Trump as a “moron.”While he denied he's eyeing the exit, Tillerson did not explicitly deny calling the president a moron.The extraordinary news conference came after Trump for months had appeared to undercut his secretary of state on everything from mediating international tensions over Qatar to addressing provocations from North Korea.Trump tweeted earlier this month, for example, that Tillerson was “wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,” a reference to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

So Cohen will be back on the stand on Monday at 9:30am. Hopefully it wraps up at that point and we can get to redirect and then the defense case. As of the writing of this summary post, the defense has alluded to the fact that they may have two witnesses.

    On Real America's Voice, controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accidentally told the truth, and the Democrats should use this as an ad against Republicans. Thanks, Marge! She keeps doing this, but I'm not going to stop her. "They're (Americans) looking at Republicans in Washington and laughing at us," Marge said.

    BoBo is having such a lousy day that even Rep. Rapey McForehead left her standing there alone. Republicans lined up to attend Donald Trump's criminal trial, and Rep. Lauren Boebert's son, Tyler, attended court by himself. And I'm sure the jury noticed that, once again, the defendant's wifebot was not by his side.

    On Fox and Friends earlier this morning, the trifecta of Trump propagandists discussed the upcoming presidential debates and the fate of poor, defenseless RFK Junior. The rabid vaccine denier and brainworm victim isn't eligible to be on the debate stage, but Fox News is still trying to use him against Biden. Enter Lawrence Jones. "Well, it looks like the person that's mostly blocking it is Joe Biden," he said.
