The Rex Tillerson dismissal thread: aka how long will it take? Now we know for sure.

[cytg111]

How many times does he have to say Tillerson is irrelevant before he says fine, I'm out. Shameful.

That is sort of what I am hoping for, that it will trigger the suicide pact!

America needs to tell Trump that he's fired.

Tillerson will bail after he clocks a year, seems a near certainty at this point.

 

[FIVR]

They already stated that Kelly doesn't want to fire him until the end of the year because it looks terrible. He's gone in December.

Have you watched this press conference? Look at how many times Trump looks over to Rex for support and watch Rex's eyes as Trump blows out the dumbest oration on earth. He isn't fit to speak to the kennels at an animal shelter.

Looks like Rex is in trouble again and is being blamed for the internal turmoil..

I'll say Tillerson can stay secretary of state and say whatever he wants as long as he never ever takes credit for anything.

This, although mainly because every President wants at least one cabinet member not in danger of being indicted.

Meh. Main thing I get from that article is that Corker is positively running against Trump in 2020.

Having met Corker and done work for him (not that he would have the slightest clue who I am), I would gladly vote for him.

Seems to me Tillerson wants to shrink the Dept. down to a size where he can micromanage it, plug all the holes where damaging leaks can come out from and then get on with the marching orders he's been given from Wall St. et al. It's part and parcel of how a nice tidy iron grip over the people's business gets done.

IOW, it's the takeover of the government by Big Business profiteers that's the main cause for a lot of the sketchy things that's going on in the Capital. It's the spillover of greed and the intense desire from the business sector for instant profits no matter who it hurts because "it's just business".

Even more tensions between Trump and the State Department are emerging. This current administration is truly the greatest show on earth and I'm feeling like Rex won't make it through the end of the year.

Ivanka Trump, your next Secretary of State.

Somehow it wouldn't surprise me if it came to pass much like a gall stone. How did we degenerate to this state?

Gawd. Show the world that our govt is in total disarray by snubbing an event sponsored by our own State Dept. Tillerson is apparently as much an igoramus as Trump.

Looking like he can’t leave soon enough. This is disturbing.

But in his first nine months in office, Mr. Tillerson turned down repeated and sometimes urgent requests from the department’s security staff to brief him, according to several former top officials in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. Finally, Mr. Miller, the acting assistant secretary for diplomatic security, was forced to cite the law’s requirement that he be allowed to speak to Mr. Tillerson.

Mr. Miller got just five minutes with the secretary of state, the former officials said. Afterward, Mr. Miller, a career Foreign Service officer, was pushed out, joining a parade of dismissals and early retirements that has decimated the State Department’s senior ranks. Mr. Miller declined to comment.

And now a Trump appointee is bailing just 3 months in.

OK Who had the end of the year?

WASHINGTON — The White House has developed a plan to force out Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, whose relationship with President Trump has been strained, and replace him with Mike Pompeo, the C.I.A. director, within the next several weeks, senior administration officials said on Thursday.

Mr. Pompeo would be replaced at the C.I.A. by Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas who has been a key ally of the president on national security matters, according to the White House plan. Mr. Cotton has signaled that he would accept the job if offered, said the officials, who insisted on anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations before decisions are announced.

I wonder if the Senate envisioned spending almost all of the session processing Trump appointments then redoing them a few times for the same positions.

 

[K1052]

On the plus side for Tom Cotton he might get to start that war with Iran, an idea that he's been masturbating furiously to for years

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Gonna delete this. Saw something pop up but it got pulled back.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Mike Pompeo and Tom Cotton...

Agreed. But it would put Cotton's seat up for grabs in the midterms per Arkansas state law.

Come on. It's Arkansas. A freaking accused pedophile is leading in Alabama right now. The bar is *THAT* low.
