Qualcomm has now become a company virtually no one can acquire, because of it’s importance to the US.. 5g communications. And that CIA woman is Gina Haspel. She of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’. Remind me of past issues - wasn’t a Bush era Justice department lawyer or lawyers fingered for writing a memo in support of ‘enhanced interrogation’, and lost a job or promotion? And best unfortunate quote from a loyal State Department employee to a reporter yesterday - Rex Tillerson is not going anywhere, he’s the Secretary of Stay. Well yeah Alberto fucking Gonzalez legalized torture and everyone clapped. Trump has been a vocal advocate of torture so this is all right in the wheelhouse.

But still, looks pretty terrible that he got fired for telling the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know why he’s being investigated, and he’s going to work on the re-election campaign? I had intended to respond to Mexal’s previous post by saying Kelly is just getting rid of WH staff who have not been able to get their clearances, but wtf is going on?

IheartIheartTesla Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Of all the people Trump has fired (or have left of their own accord), I believe Tillerson is somewhat unique in not being a Trump loyalist or involved in the campaign. Would be interesting to see if he remains mum or comes out with some juicy details on what really goes on inside the White House (based on the shoddy way he was let go).

If he hasn't been convicted, he didn't do anything wrong. And being on the 2020 campaign means he'll be under the radar and still be able to be loyal.

I wonder how many people he ruthlessly fired during his career at Big Oil. I wonder if a few stories will come out by his victims. Karma, baby!

I mean, he does think Trump is a fucking moron. I wouldn't be surprised if and hope that he does dish some dirt now. He'll remain mum, especially if he's going back to the oil world. Tillerson wasn't a talker anyway. I don't know that he is going to necessarily be depending on favors from Trump after working his administration for a year. He probably doesn't think Trump will be in a position to give out any favors in the not-so-distant future. I could be wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was ratted out by someone at that meeting to Trump, and when the story eventually leaked Tillerson was forced to do that public groveling interview where he talked about how great Trump was. The question is, how many more humiliations does Tillerson want to talk about? What damage is he willing to do to his reputation, people will wonder why he stayed so long? And Mexal, do you really think a big oil company is going to take on someone shamed by the POTUS? What fabulous job has been landed by someone dumped by Trump? Any bets over how quickly the US will walk away from the Iran agreement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what Trump did, he'll land on his feet in that industry. US will walk away from the Iran deal by May when it's due to be re-certified.

Fragile Bird Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I would point out that with the appointment of Pompeo, Trump will be surrounded by generals and ex-military at the Securith Council. You are practically a military junta now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexal Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Bolton + Trump + Pompeo will get us all killed. 2 minutes ago, The Great Unwashed said: Anyone watching Tillerson's presser? I'm at work and can't watch. Can't watch but he said he received a call from Trump 3 hours after the tweet saying he was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
