Tillerson out?

[centerleftFL]

Tillerson always struck me as someone who wasn't going to clean up that agency....He needed to go.

State Department isn't an agency. Important distinction. Well maybe technically, but since I worked for an 'agency', I didn't really think of State as one. Much more important than that!

Anyway, I do believe he fucked it up with blindly lettting people go and or slashing budgets and jobs. I have absolutely no idea if Pompeo can righten the ship.

I actually had HOPE for that Trump pick!

I think with the upcoming NK talks, Trump needs someone in State, that will work hand in hand with his goals...

Trump once said Tillerson was "wasting his time" trying to negotiate with North Korea.

You're NOT supposed to remember those things.

If they are not 'with the program' then they are out, and that is POTUS decision....

I hate the way this is all purposely directed in the way a soap opera or reality show would be directed.....

President Chaos
Keeps us all tuned in....with heads still spinning from the last scandal or last firing or last resigning or last tweet or last press conference or last person poisoned by Russia or last agreement to meet some whacko leader or last porn star payoff......

I don't know how much more of this administration I can take.....

I've always hated Reality Shows.....

nothing i can really do about it. i like some of what he does, i hate other things. kinda like any other president we've had before him, just more TV based which started last president who needed to chime into every social situation and tell us what to think.

we as a country are not coming into the digital age of infomformation in politics very well at all.

We heard from Obama, maybe once a month or two chiming in on something or sticking his foot in his mouth....

This is DAILY.....no, no, no...it is HOURLY....and just too much to handle and see, that this is what the Nation I loved, has become.....

You can always move to Darfur asshole!

And Tillerson has publicly bucked Trump's position in the past too....Who do you think wins the battle between the President, and the SoS?

So he keeps him on up until the moment he wants to do exactly what Tillerson wanted to do? Where's the logic in that?

"He Left without His Jacket "

T-Rex Tillerson says "Get it on, bang a gong, get it on"

​

Trump’s Personal Assistant Is Fired
“President Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, was escorted out of the White House on Monday… The cause of the firing was an unspecified security issue,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. McEntee was removed from the White House grounds on Monday afternoon without being allowed to collect his belongings… He left without his jacket.”

 

[j-mac]

Tillerson was never qualified for the job and it showed. He decimated the State Department and left hundreds of positions unfilled

He had no support from Trump who undercut him at every opportunity

Pity the next fool

No, no, no....The unfilled jobs are part of this swamp slow roll, and you know it....Tillerson was on shaky ground since the "idiot" comment....

He was with the program BEFORE Trump was.

The Trump shuffle on a Tuesday morning.

Now he's off to pick a fight with the renegade government of California.

What's not to like?

 

[shockedcanadian]

I liked Tillersons demeanor, I have no idea how effective he was or if he was in line with Trumps ideas. He sometimes would go off script, too often you see this happening and that never bodes well.

Using a CIA guy means U.S is probably going to use stronger arm tactics with foreign governments. Considering how much the U.S has been tossed around like a rag doll, this can't be a bad thing. Time will tell how this works out.

 

[Moonglow]

I am pissed. Mike Pompeo is now Secretary of State.

Don't worry this time next year Stormy will be Sec. of State..

You have that backwards...."The program" is the President's....The SoS doesn't run the agenda.

 

[aaronleland]

He fires only the best people.

First woman to lead the CIA? Trumps sexism strikes again!

I like her already.

Here are five facts about Haspel:

1. Haspel has been linked to the CIA’s "enhanced" interrogation program, which was highlighted in the 6,000-page report by the Senate Intelligence Committee detailing the agency’s use of techniques widely considered as torture.
2. In 2002, she ran a CIA prison in Thailand where terror suspects were waterboarded and underwent other interrogation techniques.
3. She oversaw brutal interrogations of two detainees, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, at the black site in Thailand.
4. Haspel's name was in the cable carrying the orders to destroy video tapes of the sessions carried out at the CIA station in Thailand.
5. She was also the chief of staff to Jose Rodriguez, who headed the CIA's Counterterrorism Center.

You have that backwards...."The program" is the President's....The SoS doesn't run the agenda.

Yet he kept him on up until the moment he agreed with him. The timing is no coincidence. It sounds like a vindictive move on Trump's part.

it's called media obsession. they are obsessed with trump. I bet they have a camera planted to watch him take a dump. then report the findings. Seriously, you're correct, obummer found the screen maybe once a week. these fks need to say something about trump like they have the diarrhea.

 

[IsaacNewton]

I glanced at the tv this morning and saw Tillerson's face and the first thought I had was "out of all the whackjobs Trump hired around him this guy Tillerson, though right wingy angry dude, was one of the few that at least appeared to be competent at his job".

Then I glanced at the tv ten minutes later and 'Tillerson fired' and I'm like "of fucking course".

then when all the anti-obama people felt the same way, how come i didn't see a line of conservatives head out that way?

i'm more concerned at how we treat each other than how people treat a sitting president.

ABC radio is reporting the same

The talking heads are making my head hurt. The only one that put it out there was Andrea Mitchell so far. I had already thought the same thing before she said it. Isn't it amazing that Tillerson, is the only one in the cabinet that called out Russia for the terrorist attack in Britain was Tillerson, after Sarah Huckleberry didn't at the press briefing yesterday. And we all know the press secretary speaks for the President right?

Hey look. The traitor in chief is on the way to AF1 to fly to California to look at protypes of his border wall that isn't going to get built. Complete with photo ops with the troops. Nice deflection at the last minute Donny. What are the odds he tries to make the news about sanctuary cities, and dumps all over the Oakland mayor? The press should give him no break, and only ask questions about his failure to speak out against Putin, and when he plans on 'fessing up about Stormy. That's all he should be asked from now on by the press everywhere he goes.

This son of a bitch needs to be put up against a wall and shot. We really do have a Manchurian candidate as a President. I'll sit back now and watch how the usual suspects flood the thread with their undying love for a traitor against their own country.

I hate the way this is all purposely directed in the way a soap opera or reality show would be choreographed and directed.....

Too much coffee?

Just curious. When this guy does finally go down, and that is going to happen, do you traitors have an excuse you already have pre made, or will you act shocked and surprised?

 

[TheOldSchool]

Once the Russian collusion and sabotage was revealed to the public, Tillerson really had no role in the White House. He was there to deliver the goods to Russia as payment, but the goons couldn’t cover their tracks and their plot was foiled.

Trump might as well scratch the whole team and start campaigning again...
