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

SMH

 

Trumpies will "think" whatever Trump tells them to think.

I am sure that if Kushner were to be dismissed (that after a sufficient lag time for all of the pro-Trump RW Fever Swampers to get their Marching Orders together) , they'll be here (as always) parroting the Trump Narrative.

 

I would fire kushner just for being a liberal

Most conservatives are happy with mike pompeo and consider him an upgrade over tillerson

Whats not to like about that?

 

A lot, actually. He thinks and behaves like a dictator. It's all a clueless narcissist like him understands. He sure as hell can't evaluate who is or is not qualified to hold a position; he is himself far from qualified.

 

Another Mid-East war.

 

One has to wonder about Trump's motivation. When Tillerson called Trump a f****** moron, Trump let it slide. Then Tillerson accused Russia of using a nerve agent to poison two people in the UK, and Trump fires him. What hold does Putin have over Trump that makes causes Trump to consider any criticism of Russia to be out of bounds? Given the revelation that Trump had a sexual relationship with a porn actress and then paid her off (apparently illegally from his campaign funds) to keep quiet makes Christopher Steele's report that Putin has a video of Trump cavorting with two prostitutes seem more believable.

Someone is sure to point out that Trump's lawyer claimed that it was his money that bribed Stormy Daniels. He claimed he took a mortgage out on his house to raise the money. Yeah! Right! Can you imagine the pillow talk between Michael Cohen and his wife? "Honey, I need you to cosign a mortgage agreement for $130,000. One of my clients has been diddling a porn star, and she's demanding a bribe to keep her mouth shut." I'm sure Cohen's wife quickly signed on the dotted line.

Who's running the White House? Is it Trump or is it Putin?

 

Lot to digest there...

1. You are correct... criticizing Russia is the final straw for Trump
2. We don't yet know what Putin has on Trump... That's what Bob Mueller is working on, we hope.
3. Never use the phrase 'Trump cavorting' ever again - gives me the creeps
4. It's Putin through Trump...
5. I've been reporting this in the Stormy thread, but apparently, Cohen didn't respond to the noon deadline today.

 

The state department has a long history of failure in NK and Tillerson wanted to stick with the old way of doing things so it was a bad fit and he had to go.

 

The fact that Mike Pompeo was the number one recipient of campaign contributions from the Koch brothers.

The fact that Mike Pompeo promoted the DNC email leaks from wikileaks.

The fact that Mike Pompeo is much more likely to rip up the only agreement when keeps Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and thereby dramatically hurt the willingness of other governments to trust the willingness of any US administration to keep its word.

 

I guess for Trump fans anyone who is not up fir their buddy Putin is a limp dick.

 

Marriages. Charities. Universities. Casinos. Administration appointees.

There is a massive history of failure with Trump.

 

I will heed your advice. Now that you've pointed it out, the image of some naked, over-sized guy with a sagging belly "cavorting" has taken away my appetite and ruined my lunch.

 

Seen our economy lately and noticed what the DOW has done since Trump was president? Obama failed for eight years in NK and it's time for a new tactic.

 

My wife's 401 took a 2 K hit last quarter

 

I still doubt that it's that pedestrian. I think it's financial (money laundering) but who knows.

It's certainly something...

 

The DOW has fallen 1600 points in the last 2 months.

 

Perfect. While Jeff Bezos sits on the Pentagon's board, owns the Washington Post, has a deal with the CIA worth 3 times what his newspaper's worth as he puts CIA operatives on his editiorial board to push war. And up to half of the candidates the democrats are running nationally in 2018 are ex-CIA or NSA operatives.

Fweedumb; a population willingly under constant surveillance with no right to Habeas Corpus.

 

That's it and everyone knows it, money laundering. Jared's still in there cutting shady deals out it the open. No corruption is too corrupt in america.

 

Hey, Trump didn't executed Tillerson with a flight of AA shells (yet), now did he?

 

"Tough" as in she ran a clandestine prison (was it in Thailand) where inmates were tortured. She was also accused of destroying proof. Short of a mafia goon, she is indeed the perfect person to run the CIA.

 

About everyone who knew anything about NK in Trump's diplomatical staff quit the service. Just in time.

 

Well, I sure wish for him that his character isn't that strong, or else we'll rendez-vous on this very board to comment about his own dismissal in approximately 1 year's time (my personal bet). Trump likes having the only dick in the WH.

 

I am glad we agree. Waterboarding and sleep deprivation, the same training experience much of our elite military experiences. Even in my time in duty three days without any sleep was common. Suck it up buttercup.

 

Link that up Pompeo was the #1 recipient of campaign contributions from the Kock brothers.

Then link that up that he promoted the DNC email leaks from Assange. Be clear on what you think was promoting.

Oh that he is much more likely to rip up BO the peeps failed Iran deal. Kind of like maybe, might, possibly. Let us know when he does it.

 

I have no sympathy for Tillerson. He was given an award in 2012 as a friend of Russia by Putin, and then turned on them - which means he was using Russia at the time for his own gain. It doesn't show a good character.

Who knows, maybe Tillerson was compromised by certain elements in the deep state, and the only way he could free himself without repercussions was to be fired outright - that is if he does have integrity. (I'm only speculating). It seems strange that he would blame Russia for the poisoning when he knows there is no basis for it, and that it is nothing but propaganda to hurt the World Cup.

Britain will not allow inspectors from Russia to talk to the doctors, and take a look and examine the poison so they could know where it came from. The poison does exist in Ukraine since it was developed in the USSR, and the chemist involved moved to Britain and I believe he now lives in the US. So if it is what they say, both Britain and the US have access to it. Besides in Britain, there is a lab 8 kilometers away.

The suspicion is that the MI6 has been working overtime in luring ex Russian spies to Britain, and then killing them without qualms in order to blame Russia. The only people that would gain from it these false flag attacks, would be some self serving individuals in the British and US government.
