• Rex Tillerson is out as secretary of State, ending a tumultuous tenure as America's top diplomat.

Rex Tillerson is out as secretary of State,ending a tumultuous tenure as America's top diplomat that was marked by a series of public disagreements with his boss — President Donald Trump.

Trump plans to appoint CIA Director Mike Pompeo to replace the former Exxon Mobil chief executive. The president picked deputy CIA Director Gina Haspel to run the spy agency.

The Washington Post first reported the news, which the president quickly confirmed in a tweet. Trump thanked Tillerson for his service and said Pompeo will do a "fantastic job."



Since Tillerson took the post in February 2017, mixed messages repeatedly came out of the White House and a State Department with diminishing relevance. The intramural clashes between the president and secretary of State came amid major international crises, including a potential nuclear showdown with North Korea.

This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

Probably hit Trump with another dose of reality and called him an asshole again.

It’s because he agreed with the UK that the Russians most likely poisoned that spy and his daughter. Trump and the WH was mum on Russian. Rex was the only one who said publicly that it was most likely them.

I have a strong feeling that Mueller may have a word or two with him

 

[ballscout1]

Tillerson recently has been more and more critical about Russia.....

He also had issues with Trump over Trump's bullying of Beauregard.

[EPDC]

Midterms are in 8 months....

 

[bgbtylvr]

Rex wanted out. He’s happy as fuck right now. He going straight to Mueller and getting his plea papers.

Midterms are in 8 months....

The House of Representatives is currently controlled by Republicans, with a 238 majority (193 Democrats.) There are four vacancies, one previously held by Democrats.
To reach a 218 majority in the next Congress Democrats must have a net gain of 24
102 seats are priority or competitive, including 22 seats where the incumbents are not running again (five Democrats and 17 Republicans)
80 seats where Republican incumbents could be defeated for reelection in the event that polls predicting a sizeable swing to the Democrats (blue wave) in November prove accurate.
This only works if people VOTE!!!

Absolutely!

Cacs and Coons must be enjoying this shit show.

 

[JimJones]

Wow..Trunp didn’t even have the decency to speak with Rex to tell him he was fired. This what You get when you leave a job paying you over. 100 mil a year to work for a moron.

Always has been brother... Drumpf just revealed it to the masses. And for that, im thankful.

Yup. Mother Russia made a phone call

Yep.. I have zero sympathy for him. He went for the power grab and got clowned by a guy he openly admitted is a moron.. So who's the bigger moron between the two?

Meanwhile Drumpf talking tough about how he would run into a school shooting unarmed to face the gunmen but dont have the balls to even face these weak ass cacs and fire them himself. Fucking pussy.

Wouldn’t you knock a mothafucka out who’s talking about your mother/girlfriend. You can imply whatever you want. The minute you say the R-Word, that’s your ass.

There’s a ole Bill Maher joke about who’s the bad guy: the guy who flies plane or the guy who flies drones. I believe he was fired from ABC for that assessment.

Americans can’t seem to find, fight, and actually win against their chosen opponents. American military is the Warriors without the championships.

Even funnier that Rex was actually the person who told him from jump that he should be diplomatic and engage NKorea on nuke matters. Drumpf told him fuck no and started tweeting that tough talk. Now he shit cans the guy right after he decides to be diplomatic with NKorea. I wouldnt be surprised if Putin had his hands on that meet up as well.

LMBAOOOOO MAGA!!!!!!
ONLY THE BEST PEOPLE FOLKS!!!! ONLY THE BEST PEOPLE!!!

"We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, [it's] not cowardly." -Bill Maher Sept. 17th, 2001

I think it was more of the timing than anything else, only 6 days after 9-11
