Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I’ll take you up on that.

You're welcome.  Wasn't trying to be mean with the suggestion.  Just saying they are there for use to make things fair.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

That's a question that could be asked about any cabinet position in this administration.

Agreed. But it’s fair to ask about Tillerson, now, as people are impugning his ability and justifying his abrupt firing on that basis.

I imagine at some point he'll sit down for an interview and give his side of the story.  Should be interesting to hear.

Someone mentioned Tillerson and the Boy Scouts, word is that the "gay" nominee for ambassador to Germany, Grennel was being held up by Tillerson.

Grennel in turn worked for GWBush, Bush 43, http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/331716-tillerson-blocked-bush-era-aide-from-nato-post-report

So, I'm a bit hesitant when I hear people lob statements towards Tillerson per that boy scout thing, maybe he just went along to get along.

It was an excellent post.  I would not say spot on, but I would say thought provoking, and the exact opposite of what an Echo Chamber is.

Yes, it should be.

I guess the thing that bugs me most about this is how Trump lets people go. I've had to fire two people, and both were the most unpleasant thing I've had to do in my career. One of the guys was outright insubordinate (in addition to incompetent), and even that one I agonized over. You think about them as a person, their family, etc. I can't imagine them finding out about it via Twitter. That is douchebaggery of the highest order.

I don't think what you're talking about really compares to these high-flier types.  In the corporate world, guys at this level get these nice "Golden Parachutes."  I suppose finding out in a Tweet is crappy, but I really doubt that was the first Tillerson heard about it.  To me, it's just part of a game I don't play.

Tillerson didn't find out via Twitter.   He's said that the President called him from Air Force one.

Tillerson is a multimillionaire.  While he may lose out on some bribe money I doubt he's worried about his mortgage.

Has boiled down that DJT and his kneepadded supporters are all bat shit crazy.  Tillerson was competent,  he just committed the orange world cardinal sin......  Dissension

He called Tillerson at noon, long after the tweet was sent.

You missed the point bud,  not saying its not within Trump's right to fire, but DJT's ineptnss to hire the right people in the first time.  (At least in his eyes).  It's his Clown Car now, and he's accoutable.

@catfish1957

Yet you posted this " Tillerson was competent,  he just committed the orange world cardinal sin......  Dissension"

so perhaps you should park your clown car and put down your beer

See what I mean about not wanting to get in that scuffle? 

I think Tillerson's known this was in the works for way longer than that, and we're arguing over exactly what time of what day the "you're fired" went down.  Executives get way more notice things are happening than us peons.

I could give a crap how he found out.   Its irrelevant.    all that matters is that he's out and thats a good decision.

It just proves Trump's words were all bullshit.

He didn't hire 'the best people' - and the entire responsibility is Trump's - and Trump's alone for all the fallout that happened since his appointment to the post and after.

When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I know.  It's easy to sound all cool about firing people, but it really does take a toll on the firer as well as the firee.

I totally disagree.  ANY employee hired can essentially 'go rogue' on the job and become a problem for the one that hired them.  Rex was undermining Trump at every turn, which tells me he was part of that deep state movement to 'get Trump out'.  Screw Tillerson.  At least Trump isn't being a weenie by keeping sucky ees on, despite poor or deliberately 'bad' performance (like most DemocRats do).

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.
