    When we all realize Trump runs America like a business. The less shocking this type of thing will be.

    And the Circus continues. However I'm surprised Tillerson held in there that long.

    Quite the meteoric rise for Pompeo. From Freshman US Rep to CIA Head to Sec of State in 8 short years.




    TSIO.

    When you have big buildings plastered with your name.

    When you have a hit televisions series.

    When you have a clothing line.

    When you go 18-0 against some of the biggest names in history.

    I'll give two fucks what you think about the way he runs a business.

    In case people haven't been paying attention, Saudi Aramco has been having issues with their IPO.

    Tillerson is former Exxon CEO.

    Russia pumps big oil.

    Follow the money. Always and all ways.

    Not saying Trump/Clintons/Bushes are getting their palm greased by the Saudis same as it ever was. Don't twist.

    Timing is just kind of coincidental.

    Tillerson publicly blamed Russia for the poisoning incident in London yesterday and today has his couch put up for sale. What a coincidence.

    I've been very clear in this forum that Trump had an intuitive political genius perfectly suited for the moment (that and if you have 17 peeps in a winner take all primary, crazy usually wins). No one can take that away from him.

    But shut the fuck up with the business success. Smoke and mirrors.

    But Putin wanted Tillerson instead of Romney.

    You can't even keep your bullshit straight

    The near-unanimous view, even among his supporters, is that Tillerson himself did no favors in that hearing. He came before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with heavy baggage. As longtime chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest oil company, he had cut deals with tyrants; maneuvered against the interests of U.S. foreign policy; and enjoyed especially close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had awarded him an Order of Friendship medal.

    Several senators and their staffs, expecting to engage with a worldly sage regardless of what else they might think of him, came out of the hearing surprised at how little Tillerson knew about high-profile foreign policy issues. (He had been offered, but turned down, a briefing from the State Department.) Some chafed at his apparent lack of concern for human rights in several countries where he’d done business. And a few were appalled by his deceptive testimony on Exxon Mobil’s lobbying practices.

    The funny thing about Rex is he wants to be in the Paris Accords and save the Iran deal. Pretty much why he got fired according to sources I have deep inside the White House quarters of the First Lady

    Neat but Pompeo has little experience dealing with anyone other than Turkey. and that was for half a minute.

    This is like making Tui the GM of the Raiders.

    Or are we now saying that we don't need no diplomacy anymore, because Billionaire.

    Wait. There have been inexperienced people in Troomp's cabinet? Like, for real?

    PS: Tillerson will take a shit later on today that has more business acumen than Troomp. Maybe he sucked as SOS. Maybe he didn't. Don't know. Trump hired him. He was who we thought he was. An oil man. Next.

    The left hated Tillerson before they loved him. He was a stooge for Putin before he wasn't

    You did help prove the point so thanks for that

    No to all that. I liked Tillerson. Thought he'd be a voice of reason in a house I assumed would be a little emotional. Your LinkedIn article doesn't convince me a guy who had enuff between the ears to run a global multinational couldn't hang with the cool kids in DC.
