Will probably just be formal, generic goodbye.

Can't imagine he will use his time on podium to attack trump.

But at the pace he’s going he will place virtually every key appointment he made. The common denominator - he selected them to begin with and only time will tell if the replacements become a “problem person”

I like that Trump is willing to replace any problem person, or underperforming employee, immediately.

Past presidents felt the need to keep these cats on staff until re-election time.

Looks like government works best, when run like a business


I actually agree with the sentiment of this and I'm glad to see a president with this mindset but I just don't feel like Rex Tillerson was really all that problematic as I think Rex was doing a good enough job.

I think Rex should've stayed on until after the midterms.

But I'm still happy to see Donald Trump setting precedent for future Presidents being that turnover can be a good thing. One of the biggest problems with government is lethargy and complacency and fresh blood being brought in fixes that.

LOL. Wasn’t it just last week people were trying to convince the CIA was a corrupt organization?

They still are.

Doesn't matter who's in charge as the only difference is who can manage it best.

Ok we kinda knew Rex was leaving, though doing over twitter is obviously pussy. But here's one of my issues with Pompeo; I saw his comments about disposing Kim in NK, as more important than denuclearization. That in itself is not crazy, but very odd to tap THAT guy as sec of state with potential NK negotiations on the line. Thoughts?

If you believe Bolton's recent Fox hit, the DPRK summit is designed to collapse and leave Trump "no alternative" but to bomb.

If you know anything about NOKO, then you know it's retarded to take the "impose our will" route.

As usual, Trump was classless in the way he let Tillerson go.in” Trump is an embarrassment, not to mention a danger to America’s long term interests. But the more he behaves like a boorish know nothing, the more his buttlicking fanboys love it.Its nuts.

I don't know anything about his replacement...but getting rid of a State Department head who essentially maintained the Hillary Status quo is a huge win. Perhaps now we can help the Kurds and give Erdogan the swift kick in the teeth he deserves.
