Secretary of State Tillerson out amid clashes with Trump, to be replaced by CIA Director Pompeo

Trump should just get rid of his cabinet. Or better yet just disband the federal government which he sees as useless. Well except for the military.

 

I never could quite see how being an Exxon CEO and President of the Boy Scouts was adequate qualification for a person to be Secretary of State, but, it is very possible that a person who has run the CIA might fit a LOT better in that role.... But, after all, this is a country that recently had a Secretary of State whose only apparent qualification for the job was that she had a vagina....

 

There's always a tweet.

 

Well, the lying buffoon never fails to disappoint, reports say Tillerson found out he was gone by a tweet from Cadet Bone Spurs. Personally I thought Tillerson would have resigned during this past January so this is a bit late. Trump & Tillerson have hollowed out the State Dept. to the point it can barely function, leaving gaping holes around the globe. Tillerson was among the very worst SecStates ever and I have no doubt Trump butt kisser Pompeo will be even worse.

Why now? My guess is Tillerson made the big mistake of backing ally Great Britain in accusing Russia of an attack on British soil. He really should have known better - Trump and all his Trumpster fans are huge backers of Putin & Russia - they just can't get enough Putin & Russia - they love Putin & Russia......

 

You took the words right out of my mouth.

 

So you want a bunch of flunkies that just bow down, I guess it is about time for one of those flunky lunches where everybody falls at his feet.

 

Perhaps he can identify with and articulate the policies of the President he serves with no personal agenda to cloud his judgement?

 

Trump didn't fire Tillerson in person, Trump is too much of a ****ing coward to do that.

 

Here are some threads on Tillerson. Note our resident leftness. Oh, and Never Trumpers.

Have a cup of coffee and look again.

 

If it was good enough for 2012 Obama .....

 

Insult the man right out of the gate. Who wants to bet he begins to replace the o with i in his name by November?

 

Correct... needs the military for his parade, so they have a Trump-purpose too.....

 

Every Trumpette called out for his foolishness immediately plays some "Obama" card. It was old six months ago. But I realize your only alternative is to try and defend the indefensible *****-grabber-in-chief.

 

You don't know much about leadership or management if you believe that nonsense.

Every great leader in history has always made sure that they had people on their team who could bring diverse views to any decision.

Lincoln had his team of rivals. So did Churchill.

The arguments and discussions surrounding our response to the Cuban Missile Crisis are well documented in "The Missiles of October"

In fact, one of Hillary Clinton's greatest weaknesses is her top down management style.

It is Trump's weakness as well. He doesn't want to hear from anyone who might disagree with him or suggest any path other than the one he impulsively decides on.

Trump has no team of rivals. He has a team of wannabes and yes men.

 

What he said isn't true either.

 

Ouch.

 

Cleaning out bureaucrats is one thing, but letting long time foreign diplomats leave in droves like they have is detrimental to the long term interests of the US. A vacuum that Russia and China won't hesitate to fill.

For sure, and I appreciate that kind of knowledge and experience, but if the goal from the top down is to dismantle it, and continue to do so, then that is a negative consequence for the US long term.

 

Per #136 ... posters have changed their accounts security seetings because I browse their history, and put up screenshots. It's one thing to pivot as info and facts unknown start to emerge, but it's another thing entirely to pretend you don't contradict yourself whenever the current topic requires it. Goes on all day long.

 

Thanks for making my point.

 

What.....Pro Black Prisons.

Yes a lot of Military and Intel peeps think Snowden should be executed. There is a link up on Pompeo. Familiarize yourself with it. We wouldn't want you to look foolish or anything like that.

So now what did you think of the Demo Cohn and the New Demo Navarro that Trump has in his Cabinet.

 

Business confidence may be higher than before but that is temporary I am afraid. I disagree that consumer confidence is at all times high. That just sounds like Trump talking BS. You know as when Trump says you will get tired of winning. The only international community at awe is Russia and Russians, and is because Trump is fir the most part kissing their butts.

 

As I mentioned elsewhere, the logic behind this is the exact same drivel as was used by Trumpettes when Comey was fired. They trotted out the fact that Comey was criticized during the Hillary Clinton investigation as a reason that the left should not criticize Trump for firing Comey. But it is entirely logical and non-contradictory to criticize Comey/Tillerson for their decisions and actions and to simultaneously criticize Trump for his decision to fire them when, and for the reasons, that he did fire them.

 

Trump said a few days ago that he likes it when people in his gang have differences of opinions and argue it out. Had loves chaos he said.

 

Oh did you have a point. Which one is it?
