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

[vi edit]

And one other thing...how big of a fucking clown car regime do we look like when we should be doubling down on diplomacy and planning for all cases with NK given their latest efforts with launching a missile...but instead we are playing musical chairs at one of the most visible cabinet positions and tweeting bullshit propaganda videos about Muslims?

Sweet baby jeebus can we please get some adults behind the wheel here?

Meanwhile the top posts in the Asia region have been empty since Trump took office. No Ambassador to SK. No Deputy Assistant Secretary to East Asia. The list goes on.

Do people even realize, that this administration doesn't think we even need an ambassador to South Korea while we in the middle of the biggest cluster fuck in modern day history?

Tillerson has just canceled a speaking engagement for world AIDS day.

I saw something pop up saying he was already out. World AIDS day is tomorrow.

Bet he's out within 24 hours.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Bet he's out within 24 hours.

Apparently the cancellation was announced yesterday afternoon.

 

[K1052]

Tillerson is at the WH now.

Maybe more like 24 minutes lol.

yea, I presume that the NYT was calling for comment yesterday

Not sure how I should feel about this, Rex has been completely incompetent and has kept all his CEO qualities which are not a benefit to his position, he has a "friend of Russia" award which given our time that is not exactly a thing to be proud of.
I will say he has been less of an oil & Trump stooge than I expected which is good to see but should be expected (similar to the Chris Rock bit "I take care of my kids...")

Oh he's a Trump stooge all right, you think the destruction of the state department is an accident.

That's what I'm not sure about, I think it was more incompetence allowing positions not to be filled & gutting budgets.

Looks like Rex might be home in time for Christmas.

The handwriting has been on the wall ever since "f***ing moron." Only reason he wasn't already fired is because Kelly urged Trump to keep him till New Years.

So how long until McMasters is gone?

Unknown, but my guess is, not very long. I'd be surprised if he's around past mid next year.

Seeing that Trump swaps personnel like socks who knows but it probably won't take too many incidents of insubordination (standing up to the moron in chief) for it to happen.

CNN is reporting now this leak was intentional to shame Tillerson into quitting.

Somehow that seems par for the course with the lack of ethics currently perplexing the WH. They should change their name to the people's zoo while he's in office.

 

[K1052]

And Rex gets to head to Europe now even more castrated than he was before. Bet that's fun.

 

[brycejones]

Pompeo as SoS is just sad. He was a smarmy shit when he was in the house.

I fantasize that every single leak is coming directly from Trump

Are you saying that he keeps Russian hookers in the Oval office?

I believe that they'd be more like streams than leaks.

 

[UNCjigga]

Holy. Shit. There is a rumor going around some liberal boards that Trump was intentionally tweeting anti-muslim videos in order to spark riots at US embassies and force Tillerson out. Did he learn nothing from Benghazi?????

I don't believe it, but it's bad enough that State Department officials immediately went into damage control mode and beefed up security at certain posts.
