DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Tillerson Out

He only hires the best people. Really. Really the best.

The light that burns twice as bright

Maybe these guys are just that good, that bright?

Drip..Drip...Drip...Sessions

I'm kinda sad about this. Tillerson, McMasters and Mattis were the only guys on the cabinet that I was confident in. Tillerson is gone, McMasters is reported to be on Shaky ground.

Hire the best people my butt.. He may be good at firing the best people..

Getting close to a dictatorship.

CBS is reporting that Tillerson was fired shortly after putting out this statement concerning Russia poisoning the spy in the UK

A Vanity Fair article states that McMaster, Kushner, Ivanka, and Kelly are on a short list to be replaced, too. I'd link the article, but uses of pejoratives by Trump wouldn't pass the rules of the pound.

One of the replacements is John Bolton. Bolton wants open conflict with NK and Iran.

Heaven forbid anyone talk bad about the Russians in this administration!

I doubt this is true.

TYT talked about this a week or two ago, predicting Tillerson would soon be gone. Tillerson was the CEO of Exxon. Exxon had a huge $500 Billion dollar deal with Russia that Obama killed with sanctions. Lifting those sanctions was priority #1.

A week or two ago Exxon announced it was pulling out of the deal altogether. Tillerson no longer has a good financial reason to be in the role, so he was expected to move on. Today, under a certain amount of smoke and mirrors, that happened.

hahaha, second shooter on the grassy null huh?

This is what happens to you when you listen to the fools at TYT.

White House Now Just Holding Continuous Going-Away Party For Departing Staffers

WASHINGTON—In an effort to make the frequent festivities for departing staffers more efficient, White House officials announced Tuesday that the administration is now just holding one continuous going-away party. “Instead of throwing a send-off celebration for Rob Porter and Rick Dearborn only to turn around and do it again a week later, we will now simply hold around-the-clock gatherings with light refreshments and cupcakes to honor whoever left the administration most recently,” said Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, adding that employees may now join their coworkers at any time of day in the permanently decorated White House kitchen where a never-ending stream of staffers will announce that this is their last day, perpetually deliver farewell speeches, and constantly pass around and sign goodbye cards for continuously departing coworkers. “In order to avoid another situation like when we had three separate get-togethers in one week for Sean Spicer, Michael Short, and Reince Priebus, aides may now enjoy a cup of soda, don a party hat, reminisce over fond memories together, and say their farewells whenever it is convenient for them.” Huckabee-Sanders added that she looks forward to seeing everyone in the kitchen, where she expects to be honored shortly.

Why the hate? I would think being on the losing team you might want to start changing up the moronic rhetoric. Tictoc tictoc ....

I like Sexy Rexy. I actually felt pretty good about him running the state department.


I know the beauracrats were whining about positions not being filled, but I figure Rex took a look at the department, decided it was bloated and was gonna make the office much much smaller and more efficient.

Time for a whole new fresh set of leaks.

Trump picks Gina Haspel as first female CIA director.

He’s also picked Manafort, Kelly, Porter, Tillerson, mooch, and a bunch of other failures who quit. Recruiting skills aren’t exactly in his wheelhouse.

Isn't she the one who ran a secret US prison in Thailand where they regularly tortured people suspected of being affiliated with al-Qaeda?

Trump picks Richard Grenell as first openly Gay ambassador to be ambassador to Germany.

Unfortunately the Democrats are dragging their feet and holding up his nomination.

J/C

Typical BS rhetoric from the left on here. Hell yes Haspel, bring back water boarding!

Mike Pompeo will be awesome. Rex was OK but wasn't on the same page on a lot of issues with Trump.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-r...-of-the-darkest

Yep ... typical Left wing libtard rhetoric.

What?

So he was in the position of Sec of State - not simply to serve the best interests of his country? Or when he was appointed it was widely announced that he would only serve until March 2018???

I don't see what you mean by your post .... the fact is this is yet another high profile turnover in Trump's administration. You can spin it any way you like and you can say it was predicted - it doesn't change a thing. What happened to the idea Trump was going to put great people in his team??? Or did I miss part of that message - "Trump will put great people on his team and then constantly humiliate them and fire them regularly"

Tillerson found out by twitter that he was fired.

Thinks to himself, ‘This must be how Marla Maples felt’.

Someone get OCD his jello, all of a sudden thinks his party is in charge again.

Definitely wouldn’t start counting chickens if I were you. You people still talk th way you did that cost you the last election.

Talk about moronic.

Rex actually did a decent job, all things considered.

unfortunately, he would've been better under a president Kasich. but instead, he had to serve under Trump, which is proving to be a trainwreck for just about anybody.

working for trump 101: make sure you already have a side job to go to before taking the position.

I don't know a lot about this guy.

I watched his speech today and he seemed like a quality guy.

If he learned of his firing from social media via Trump twitter, then Trump needs his ass thrown out. Because that is NOT how you conduct business, much less a Government. That is an embarrassment.

I extremely dislike this maverick style of running the Government.

Oh come on.

The guy was the head of Exxon and has probably hundreds of millions of dollars to his name. Probably fired a thousand people in his career.

This ain't no powder puff snowflake.
This is a big boy.

Not saying he can't handle being fired.

Just saying the way it was done was extremely unprofessional and an embarrassment to our country.

He wasn't some intern, he was Sec Of State.

He will suck it up and remain true to himself.

He and his boss didn't agree on much but managed to work together.

Hit the road, boss found somebody better.

Do I really gotta tweet it?

Mouth vomit. They hated each other and Trump publicly humiliated him.

Mouth Vomit!!!

That's a new one Eve and I like it!

exactly, even if a high turnover rate is "suppose" to be expected, its still unprofessional to fire someone and have them find out on twitter.

Easier to spell than diarrhea of the mouth.

Shut up you! 99 percent of the stuff we find out from Trump is on Twitter!
Now you want different because he fired a turd.

From what I read he was told before hand, Friday from John Kelly.

That's not what they said on the news break today that interrupted my soap.

Look at Rex's goodbye speech, he said when he found out.
He received a call from Trump on Air Force One.
When was Trump or Rex last on AF one?
You will have your answer as to when.

Try again.

Rex...

“I received a call today from the president of the United States a little after noon time from Air Force One.”

Trump Tweet today...

- Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all! [844 EDT]
