Trump tweeted, "Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!"

Strange reaction. I've overjoyed to see Tillerson go. Now he's free to go back to pushing homo boy scouts in the private sector.
I have no problem with this change.
Yep, this is the guy some FReepers are calling a "true gentleman" and saying they are "sorry to see him go"
I wonder if they got all misty eyed when Colin Bowel movement left the SOS office.
Should have done day one. Now the courts are controlling it and I blame Trump for letting these tinpot judges dictate Executive authority over him.
As good ol’ Ralph Klein once said of the AB mad cow crisis so many years ago, perhaps ‘shoot, shovel, shut up’ might have been a better solution in 2002 for this jockey. Abu Zubaydah would have met his ‘allah’ much sooner and would now be enjoying the ‘warmth’ of his god’s permanent abode, quietly (or most likely not) roasting on a spit for eternity.

Thanks RoosterRedux.
[I wonder if this is an “impeachable offense” ?]
Has to be. There must be some collusion with the Russians.
Yeah, I won’t miss him.
Yes, good riddance.
“Tillerson, the man responsible for the sodomization of the Boy Scouts, is a democrat who should have never been part of Trump’s cabinet.”
Leave it to the military VETS to be plugged in.
Breath of fresh air NKP_Vet.
“Is Mike Pompeo a globalist?”
Pretty sure at this point POTUS is testing of his staff for globalist tendencies. He has had enough and nothing will deter him.
“Hillary wants to know if she got her husband’s ‘okay’ to work for Trump.”
I don’t think either of the Arkansas Hit Squad leaders could even spell O.K. any longer.
I will blow my retirement money on a party that will last 1 year, when I get the news they are in prison.
What a glorious day that will be, here or in the after life.
He should toss McMaster and make it a tri fecta.
Overrated Sec of Defense Tame Dog Mattis should be next to go. He seems to think he is Tillotson’s shadow Sec of State as he parrots all of Tillotson’s positions even salvaging the Iran deal.
TRex leaving is not a good thing. DT is making a big mistake.
Fixed it for ya. Good riddance to the homo boy scouting loving, global warming alarmist creep.
Tillerson brought gay pack leaders to the Boy Scouts. Disgusting man!
I agree with Tillerson on Free Trade (aka lower taxes and cheaper prices for American consumers)
But overall? I was skeptical of the choice but gave the dude the benefit of the doubt. But every report paints him as borderline incompetent.
They’ve been saying for months he and Trump weren’t seeing eye to eye, I wonder why it took so long.
Finding a good SOS is apparently very hard, I couldn’t tell you the last truly good one. If Condi is the best one of the last 25 years, what does that tell you? Pompeo has a neo-conny past but is obviously much more conservative than anyone else to have the job lately and someone I feel more comfortable with than some corporate dude.
Okay, valid point there. Most of them have sucked, including the ones appointed by "conservative" Presidents. Was GHWB's guy James Baker any good? I was too young at the time to pay attention to politics.
John Bolton would have been ideal the SOS for Trump, IMO. Tillerson was an awful pick and I said so at the time. I wouldn't have given him the benefit of the doubt, the guy's background gave me serious pause, he had "weasel" written all over him whenever he commented, and I would have voted against the confirmation if I were a Senator.
More controversial, I stand by my opposition to "conservative home run picks" Betsy DeVos and Neal Gorsuch too.
Baker is an Arabist. Probably an anti-Semite, so that answers your question.
