On the surface there are at least minor disconnects of message between Trump and Tillerson. My impression has been that Tillerson did a decent job of explaining or getting around the appearance of difference of opinion. I bet Tillerson was deliberately kept out of the loop on NK discussions - IOW, from Trump's point of view, this is not sudden. This has been deliberated carefully.
Also, obviously State Dept. was out of the loop regarding North Korea. For a reason, I’m sure. Old Rex probably didnt like that much. Trump has no patience for the machinations of that bloated bureaucracy. He’d rather do it himself. Also, maybe the guy wasn’t draining the State swamp fast enough. Either way, I like it.
Yep. March Madness anyone?
Tillotson got sick. They brought him home early.
The woman was moved up She was next in line. Has a history with torture
May be an excuse to clean up CIA
Probably made it to the thread by now but just in case it hasn’t:

President Trump Reveals He Fired Rex Tillerson Over Disagreement on Iran Deal
AOL news provides the full quote Trump gave to reporters just minutes ago:
“We got along actually quite well, but we disagreed on things,” Trump said as he boarded the Marine One presidential helicopter en route to view prototypes for his proposed border wall.
“When you look at the Iran deal, I thought it was terrible. He thought it was okay. I wanted to either break it or do something, he felt a little differently.”
