    To be fair, 100% of Trump's casinos ended in bankruptcy and 75% of his marriages ended in divorce.

    So a ~45% turnover rate in his administration is punching above his weight.

    When did Pompeo a West Point grad at the Very Top of his class, and a Cavalry Officer become a blowhard like Trump?

    Why do you hate Common Sense.

    Saying I liked Cohn or Tillerson would be a galactic overstatement.

    But I did think they were two of the few stable/reasonably bright people on Trump's group.

    And now they are both gone within two weeks of each other.


    The more this Presidency goes on, the more I feel like just holding my nose and waiting until Trump obviously gets booted out in January 2021 (at the latest).

    You cannot fight a powerful man who has the mind of a child. Just smile and nod and wait until he is gone.

    You have to remember the majority of them do take things out of context. My thought is, its due to being inferior to all others.

    So who said anything about the Democrat Cohn, and why wouldn't you like him. What do you have to say about the Democrat Navarro that took Cohns spot?

    What's up with all the sudden lapses in memory? Democrats vehemently opposed Tillerson from start to finish. Unqualified, and an agent of corporate influence, destroyer of the global environment. :confuse: Trump has the mandate of his constituency, and appointees serve the president. If anyone can hit the ground running as SoS it's Pompeo. Mike has been in the loop every step of the way on NK. It may have been Pompeo who suggested that he replace Tillerson as SoS. Hysterics never cease to amaze. :omfg:

    Careful now TDS is contagious, especially if you see white frothing at the mouth. Ask Lil Joey Kennedy.....but from a distance.

    eh. Tillerson was doing Trumps duty in dismantling the State Dept. His time will not be marked as a positive one. Also I find it hilarious that he basically gave up millions of dollars to take this job, AND he had to agree to a 10 year BAN on working in the O&G industry which still holds.

    Not sure how the new guy will be, and will give a fair shake, but I'm not... optimistic based on the last couple of years.

    Even greater than Tillerson now looking for a job is Presidents Trumps appointment of Gina Haspel as director of the CIA. This is one tough broad and the total opposite of the leftie/socialist way of life. She actually believes in harsh punishment instead of giving prisoners cable TV/internet and a cookie.

    The only hysterics I see are those by the blind, deaf, and dumb Trump supporters. The intelligent honest Trump supporters must realize that Trump is doing the wrong thing.

    I was joking, although as MrT posted, it's been said before.... Day is still young though... Would be the quote of the year if Rex could pull it off....

    However, this IS a Trump quote from today "I think Rex will be much happier now"..

    D'ya think?? How happy was Andy when he escaped from Shawshank??

    Truth is that Tillerson got fired for telling the truth.

    Gee whiz, you to?

    I get it, it was tongue in cheek. I didn't expect to see proof.

    Laugh a little, it's good for the soul.

    *Shrug Trump has inherited less than loyal Government employee base, you'll agree with that, I'm sure. A little house cleaning now and then is a good thing.

    Explain out how Pompeo a former politician dealing with other Foreign Politicians is the wrong thing to do, by putting him as SOS. Over Tillerson who has never been a politician.


    See if you can explain that out in detail, and not some TDS demensia from the Twilight Zone.
