Correct me if I'm wrong but Tillerson first said that Russia was behind the deaths on Sunday, right?

And according to the article "Trump last Friday asked Tillerson to step aside"

So are you sure about this?

Sure about what...I'm only telling you what has been reported. We don't really know for certain. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

And per the article

Quote:Trump "thought it was the right time for the transition with the upcoming North Korea talks and various trade negotiations," a senior administration official said, adding that Trump asked Tillerson to step aside on Friday. A senior White House official later clarified that chief of staff John Kelly told Tillerson that he would be replaced, but did not specify the timing.

So... He was told he was on the way out before he made that statement... yes or no?

I don't know. None of us do. I only stated a fact that he was fired a day after his comments. Are they related? I don't know?

You sound like Alex Jones.

From this article, it sounds like Trump, rather atypically, took a very long time to say "You're fired." Seems like it was a bad match from the start.

My wife made the comment that people like Sonny Perdue, former Georgia governor, and Rex Tillerson brought some common sense and stability. But Perdue is invisible and Tillerson is gone. Tom Price, also from the south, is also gone, but for his own issues.

Looks like we are going to get all Trump, all the time. But it seems like he is too busy right now to get involved in a bunch of twitter wars, so that's a good thing.

Tillerson and Pompeo view Qatar, Turkey and the muslim brotherhood differently. And the Iranian deal.

Diplomacy was never of importance to this President, which is why he is replacing Tillerson with a bombastic, hardliner like Pompeo.

Depends on how you define diplomacy.

The Secretary of State is not the Secretary of War.

You might have wanted to tell that to your girlfriend with the large ass after all that Libya stuff.

Hillary never called Obama a moron.

And Tillerson was not a diplomat. He was a businessman. Pompeo is a politician.

Is McMaster next on the chopping block?

From your own link, Mach....

According to CNN, Tillerson was informed by Chief of Staff John Kelly last week that he would be replaced,

Mach never bothers to read his own links (when he even provides a link), he just looks at the first 10 words and then runs with a pre-conceived conclusion.

And to think... he can vote for the most powerful position in the world.

It seems Mr. Bull that you do't know how the Constitution works. If Trump fires himself Mrs. Hillary will become our next president because she won more popular votes. Pence won't even be in the picture.

So there! Humph!

Rex came out and condemned Russia for the poisoning of the Russia spy, his daughter, the police officer, and other people that came in contact with the Russians. After Rex came out saying that, Trump Tweeted Rex was fired. I would watched out for Nicki Healey as well and Sarah as well. They both could be fired for condemning Putin and Russia as well.

There is a whole lost up and running.

McMaster
John Kelly
Ben Carson
Sulkiahn sp? Head of VA
Ryan Zinke
Scott Pruitt
Jeff Sessions
Betsy Devos
Jim Matthis
Rosenstien
Mueller
Andrew McCabe
Nicki Healey
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Trump's son-in-law


Several on this list have done the exact same thing like Price did wasting tax payers' money on trips and items.

Healey and Sanders condemned Putin and Russia. Sanders also got Trump mad with her revealing that Trump won a arbritration case against Stormy.

Good point. Pence would probably invade Iraq again because God told him to. Then again, with the people Trump is likely putting in place we might end up doing that anyway.
