    Rex Tillerson is out as secretary of State, The Washington Post reported, ending a tumultuous tenure as America's top diplomat that was marked by a series of public disagreements with his boss — President Donald Trump.

    Why bother? Another cabinet position Trump would rather fill himself.... I doubt Mike Pompeo will even bother putting this on his resume.... Who has December 2018 as the over/under on when Pompeo is kicked out??

    Jesus ****ing Christ.

    And this move comes two ****ing months before his supposed summit with Kim Jong Un.

    Oh, and less than 24 hours after Rex Tillerson attacked Russia for its attack in Great Britain.

    Trump needs to start getting people who think like him on his team. Too many people with diverse opinions are not good. We need a focused, goal oriented, administration in which there is no room for compromise with progressives.

    Well I'm sure Ego does not need to tell you that he was being facetious with that particular quote. But you can wait to talk to him directly if you like.

    My friend,

    Tis is so refreshing, finally seeing that there is a revolving door for these Government employees, unsuitable for the job. Government employment should not be for life!

    Thank you, president Trump :applause:

    Yep, they all were able to pay almost no taxes on the huge severance packages they got.

    And all they had to do was be around an idiot for a year and then bail ship.
