Adios, amigo.

Not very good news. Although it was pretty obviously in the coming.

Tillerson took the position believing peaceful resolution. He convinced China to calm down N. Korea but Trump hated. his effort. ;He can go back to be an oil, tycoon any time.
toshiko
Well,, he can call Trump 'Moron' openly now.

Exit Rex Tillerson, enter John Bolton.
CrazyJoe
How about we keep Tillerson and get rid of Trump and Pence.
bass4funk
No, Trump is president, if we get rid of him and Pence, then we have Paul Ryan as president.

Bolton's another war-for-hydrocarbons tool. A difference between the two could be Tillerson has been more closely connected to Putin's hydrocarbon oligarchs, Bolton more of a USA number 1 sort.

At which point you'll go from criticizing establishment Republicans to supporting everything they say since it's your style to obey whichever Republican you perceive to be the winning team at that moment. Remember when you were calling Trump supporters "fringe"? Now you're in the front of the line and you criticize establishment Republicans. But if they get back into power again, you'll be licking their boots again.
Guaranteed.

Nikki Haley will most likely take over Tillersons position as secretary of state.
toshiko
Nikki is not doing well at UN. But she will outdo than Tillerson. Now, Trump needs someone to replace Pence.

I bet money on Tillerson being the next in the Trump cabinet to resign so the moron better not disappoint me like he has disappointed everyone with his job performance..

I don't obey the Republicans I'm not a part of the collective unlike the left and the Democrats. I'm just saying, that's what would happen, so either way, the Democrats would lose.
Meaning the establishment, Yes, I certainly do.
I support most conservative which is different from supporting the spineless nut jobs in Washington.
From the looks of it, that might be a very long time, but to answer your question, No, I wouldn't. If a non-career politician came in, I would.
Guaranteed.

Nikki did not get along with UN members because she was only one who understood why Trump had own climate change idea. Northern hemisphere countries idea was based on they believed world use coals. Not in So. America. Some drying foods were done by sunshine in tropical area. For onstage cocoa, Even in Japan, green tea, dehydrated shrimp. I believe climate change issues shouldn't be decided by northern countries. Often Trump rushed but the countries that do not use coals were backing Nikki but Europeans are stronger in UN.

And if a career politician like Pence or Ryan became Prez, you'd take your tough talking anti-establishment rants and fold like a house of cards in a hurricane.
bass4funk
Nope, I'm not a liberal, I don't give in to my principles, I'll be patient and be tolerant, but I will also feel relieved that we still have either way a conservative overall in the WH.
Strangerland
Well at least you admit you believe in party over country.
Damn liberals who do the right thing rather than blindly believing their party at the peril of the country.

This article is the web equivalent of Trump taking a giant laser and carving into the Earth, "I aspire to be an authoritarian" in letters large enough to be seen from space.
bass4funk
No, I don't believe in either party, but I'm a conservative and proud that we can get the country back from the clutches of the dire abyss that the last 8 years dragged us down in.
Ahhhh, so that's why they lost over 1000 legislative seats? Because they were doing the right thing? ROFL
Strangerland
Good for you, I never claimed you didn't. What I pointed out is how you prioritize party over country.
If you disagree, then point out one time the Democrats have done the right thing for the country.
Except we weren't talking about the Democratic party, we were talking about Liberals. And you suddenly went off about Liberals losing seats they never had.
The Republicans will be in good standing if I try to figure out how a party that doesn't exist could lose seats? Umm, are you getting confused?
Goodlucktoyou
Sack them all and use twitter and golf caddies.

Trump uber alles. Trump uber America.

What sort of leader needs to say this?
"The one that matters is me," Trump said. "I'm the only one that matters because, when it comes to it, that's what the policy is going to be."
A leader who has no idea how to lead.
toshiko
If Tillerson resigns, others are not experienced to face pesky European representatives. Nikki will be able to formulate Trump's once in a while excellent idea and that others mess up. Trump needs to get rid of current brainless yes men.

Tillerson is too meek. He needs to grow a spine and clean house at the State Department. If he isn’t up to the task, get someone else for the job.
bass4funk
I agree. I heard that John Bolton might be on the list of possible contenders, should Trump get tired of Tillerson and decides to give him the axe.
Wolfpack
Bolton would have been a much better choice from the beginning. He seems to want to represent his country and not the interests of Brussels.
I am surprised that so many Liberals are still so clueless as to how America ended up with an outsider like Trump over all of the establishment Republicans who ran in 2016 (and Hillary). No one is concerned with party loyalty anymore. Why would people who profess to be conservative continue to follow guys like Ryan who continuously cave to the political Left? Pelosi and Schumer don’t go along with Republicans on anything they disagree with. If Tillerson continues to go along with the bureaucracy at State then he needs go.
Even the Left is trying to throw off it’s establishment and were only thwarted last year by Hillary’s corruption of the party’s nomination process. She brazenly hi-jacked the DNC and stole the prize outright from Bernie - the Left’s populist candidate. Are Dems seriously not questioning the Democrat Party of this level of political corruption? It’s no wonder a weak candidate left Trump beat the Dems illegitimate candidate.
This isn’t a joke anymore- things are seriously off track in America and both parties aren’t safe from the people’s anger with their insider politics.
OssanAmerica
That would be interesting. John Bolton, the person North Korea called "human scum" back in 2003. That should really pave the way to "talks"....lol
Lizz
I doubt very much Bolton could make it through the approval process when even Tillerson had problems with Republicans, which is why Trump backed off his nomination to Deputy Secretary of State. But whoever it ends up being needs to figure out how to move forward within the president's policy framework.
toshiko
We need to wait this Russian hearing simmers down. Trump may find none amateur this time. A person who has better understanding of job..
toshiko
I doubt Bolton will accept nomination. He knows he has to go through tough procedure. He needs more supporters in his party.
