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?


Everyone working in the White House knows they serve at the pleasure of the president. It is the ultimate at-will position. The story now seems to be how he was fired, especially after the dismissal of Goldstein.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I posted that Tillerson was a bad choice back when Trump made the choice.

It takes Donny a while to sift through all the posts here, but it looks like he finally read yours and took action. Congratulations on a job well done!

             Every Picture tells a Story



   I never liked Tillerson anyway, but his firing can only be interpreted in one of two ways, obviously, Trump screwed it up or Trump handled it correctly but after having watched the way he handled his last 10 FIRES my experience tells me to go with the Former~Trump screwed it up.  IMHO

.@JohnRobertsFox: WH source tells Fox News John Kelly called Tillerson Friday to tell him POTUS wanted him to step aside. Tillerson asked if POTUS could wait for him to get back from his Africa trip to pull the trigger. Tillerson landed 4 am Andrews AFB. POTUS pulled trigger.

Yes I know this...My problem isn't firing Tillerson but how he did it...Trump personally fired him in a tweet...then called him from AF1....If he waited until today to tweet this he could have just as well called him into the Oval and personally done it.....doing it this was disgraceful imho...

Tillerson was, indeed, recommended by Washington insiders @BassWrangler

Your quoting CNN? I thought you told me they were fake news. Which is it?

I don't give a damn 'how' he was fired... if it's true that he was undermining Trump from the get-go.  He forfeited his right to being fired "the right way" if that is the case, IMO.  Loyalty, respect, consideration, etc.... is supposed to work both ways, after all.

Tillerson,got what he asked for.  During Friday's phone call Tillerson didn't ask for a meeting with the President, he asked only that the President wait until he was back on US soil before pulling the trigger.  The President accommodated Tillerson's request.

And that trigger sure in hell needed to be pulled.

Oh for cripes sake @BassWrangler  ... do your own google search.  The information is out there ... confirmed by the President's transition team.

And I don't give a rat's arse if this truth doesn't fit your angry little worldview.

And, since you are trying to turn your statement onto Tillerson from Trump, what did Tillerson do that you see as classless?

And, who is Rex?

Why so angry @INVAR?

No RiV, get your meme's right. 

It's HATE that I posted a picture quote of something your president actually said.

Because - with you people - we must be constantly genuflecting and worshipping the man or we are 'haters'.

Reminding everyone of what Trump promised is 'HATE'.

I'm not angry. You trump throne-sniffers, by and large, seem to be the ones that have anger management issues. I just think it's rather pitiful that Trump can't get through a year in office without firing half his cabinet appointments.

LOL. I used to like Bolton, but I saw him on Tucker Carlson's show the other day, and he came across as an angry crank. I think it's a good thing that Trump passed on him.

Pompeo, number 1 in his West Point class, decorated artillery officer....

Of course, that doesn't change being unceremoniously dumped, I liked Rex and I heard something about the thriving on chaos on the M. Medved show today, of course, that's not Mike's view but of one of his callers.

But Pompeo certainly is qualified....hopefully, needs our prayers.

Nothing. But thinking so is necessary to maintain the carefully built up fantasy world in which Trump is a competent leader.

   Concerning the incredible amount of people here that actually practice a devotion to their Faith, it amazes me how easily the word 'HATE' gets bandied about by some in false accusations.

He was not my congressman, but he was very popular here in Kansas as the representative of the 4th District.
