@Victoria33,

Don't know what happened to my last post.


The Trilateralist, along with an assist from diabolical men from Mars, made sure your post disappeared. If that post got out to the public the whole Illuminati conspiracy would be laid bare.

I don't think calling Trump a moron helped to endear him to the president. Sounds like Tillerson
was a Bush republican. If so I am glad he is gone. Bushism needs to be stamped out.

And you have got the feet to stomp out the "Bushism."

I was waiting for you to post something like that!  Love your avitar!

Simple. Trump wasn’t a career politician when he came in. Being new to the world of Washington politics, and wanting to appear bipartisan to smooth things over after a divisive election, he relied on the pros in government for suggestions. So, when those picks failed him he fires them. Like Rush said today, a year into the job Trump’s now relying on his own instincts, those same instincts that made him a winner in his business career.

Tillerson was not the recommended pick of washington insiders. He was the CEO of Exxon, not a career government guy, and was touted as one of Trumps outsider picks.

@aligncare   Good post.  People loved the fact that Trump was not a career politician and he certainly was not.

His first year would have gone much smoother if he had been.  Some can enjoy a good laugh at the many changes in the first year but if they are changes for the better and involve a learning experience, what's wrong with that.

One thing I do like about Trump is that he does what he feels he should do without worrying about how it looks.

So I guess that's your way of saying you can't provide a link like you were asked to provide.

Got it.  Chalk this one up to fake news I guess.   **nononono*

I was in the middle of a 6-1/2 hr road trip.

There is no link.

Suffice to say that I'll believe Rush's take on things before yours.

Well...you'll be the only one.

BTW...the reporting I'm hearing that contradicts yours...has all been on Fox since about 0830 this morning.

Now unless they are secretly getting their info from MSNBC...you failed...again...with the Liberal news smear attempt.

Try harder next time ok?

"Versions" are flying fast and loose today, DC.  That's why I decided when I got up this morning and heard the news that I would reserve judgement on what just went down for a day of so.

Tillerson was, indeed, recommended by Washington insiders @BassWrangler

GOP heavyweights with ties to Exxon pushed Tillerson
CNN, Dec 13, 2016. Theodore Schleifer, Elise Labott and Gregory Krieg


Washington (CNN) — President-elect Donald Trump leaned on a collection of Republican foreign policy veterans for guidance in selecting ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his nominee for secretary of state, according to sources familiar with the process.

Condoleezza Rice, Robert Gates, Stephen Hadley and James Baker, all of whom have business dealings with the oil giant, played a crucial role in convincing Trump's team to select Tillerson to become America's top diplomat.

A source familiar with discussions over the nomination said that Vice President-elect Mike Pence reached out to Rice and Stephen Hadley, who served as George W. Bush's national security adviser, a few weeks ago asking for good candidates for secretary of state and other positions.

If you truly believe that President Trump fired Rex Tillerson with no conversation but rather simply a tweet, you're delusional.

Apparently, he was and it was over the Iran deal negotiations.


White House allies warned Tillerson's senior staff for weeks that efforts to save the nuclear deal and balk on Trump's key demands regarding the deal could cost Tillerson his job, a warning that became reality Tuesday when Trump fired Tillerson by tweet.

I just got word that Harry Frawlish of Mandan North Dakota not only knew who Tillerson was, but he also is sad at the news. He is the president of the National Gas Station Freebie Club and had an Exxon fetish.



I am saddened deeply, too.

But lay off my tiger parts, okay?

I got into this thread late, as per norm.  And now I must go grocery shopping.  LOL!

Have a great time!

I think @Cyber Liberty is in here, too.  I can never find anyone.  You have to learn more 'puter stuff for that.  Ewwwww.  Icky.  I know nothing!

Well, I'm all in on Rush Limbaugh's take/opinion.

Are you in?  Or do you fold?

The only reason Donald Trump would have done it merely in a tweet? 

To tell Tillerson where to put his gravitas and embarrass him.   Poor bastard never had anybody stand up to him.  EVER!!

Not even Putin.  Instead, he was given an Official Seal of Friendship from Russia after signing lucrative oil deals with the State-owned refineries.

Fox is also reporting this afternoon that Kelly told Tillerson on Friday to "watch the President's twitter feed over the weekend".

Only problem is...if he called Tillerson from AF1...that was done AFTER the tweet.  Trump didn't get on AF1 at Andrews AFB until somewhere around 10am this morning.  The tweet as well as the breaking story about Tillerson being gone at State had already been out for 90 minutes.

They were asking Trump about the firing before he boarded Marine One to take him to the plane to fly to San Diego.

So NO...it was the tweet then the phone call.

The version you WISH had happened isn't correct.

   Rush is no longer a credible source for anything, Trump could indeed shot someone on 5th Avenue and Rush would say that the SOB tried to buy my TEA with a stolen credit card.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

He says he doesn’t know why he was fired. Well, let me try to help out here. If you’re butting heads with the president on three key issues… Tillerson said nothing was gonna happen on North Korea. He was not even told that that deal had been made to go accept the invitation from Kim Jong-un.


Rush makes no sense.  Trump was the one who said this was a waste of time.

So the guy who was previously the CEO of the second largest company in the world was surprised at getting fired for undercutting his boss?

That s the story?

The SOS went rogue and was negotiating a way to keep the Iran deal in place with our European Allies.

Tillerson was also against withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

Tillerson may be a swell guy, but it sure appears he was working for the EU.

Yes, but we knew that from the beginning.  I posted that Tillerson was a bad choice back when Trump made the choice.

That s the story?

I read that Tillerson used to give employees in corporate about 3 weeks notice before they were officially fired because it was the right thing to do. Never just sent out a memo and locked offices. That would be rude.
