#3 And CNN is portraying it as a tragedy that fat, unelected bureaucrats are crying because for once, they didn't get what they want.

God, I wish we had a media that was on our side.

#5 But I've been hearing for the last year how the "professionals" in the SD had nothing but disdain for T-Rex?

Did the media give me an incorrect picture?

#6 I wonder how many of them broke out their Obama dolls for comfort?

#7 I call that a feature.

And the ones that are crying need to be fired. If you can't handle this, you can't handle a dictator.

Y'all can go fuck yourselves.

#8 Rex Tillerson served at the pleasure of the president. When its time to move on, you move on.

I, for one, thank Mr. Tillerson for his service and wish Secretary Pompeo all the best.

#12 Were they weeping because Rex Tillerson is out, or because of the man who chosen to replace him, a man who will, from their perspective, be even worse?

Mr. Tillerson’s mandate was to downsize and refocus the state department. The incoming gentleman will not be a return to historic practices, so there should be even more retirements in the near future.

#13 Mr. Tillerson’s mandate was to downsize and refocus the state department.

Perhaps he began believing the press and started imagining he was a statesman rather than a downsizing CEO.
