Trump sacks Tillerson as secretary of state--Pompeo is replacement--info

The cable news outlets are dwelling on Tillerson leaving; but as one news story said; after he called Trump a "moron" it was only a matter of time before he got the "you're fired!" from the boss.

Now what is important is what Pompeo may bring to the chaos mix of the WH; this BBC story has a video about Pompeo in it:

Sheeesh! He called Trump a "moron" WITH expletives?

Who'd a' thunk that his words would come back to bite him?

Hahaaaaa soooo he heard those famous words that Trump has been famous for, eh?

A good choice in Pompeo.

Yesterday:
Tillerson spoke clearly and forcefully on the Russian chemical weapon nerve agent attack/assassination in Britain.

The exceedingly powerful nerve agent (military chemical weapon) also put a British policeman into serious condition in the hospital, and resulted in serious public danger the British are working to contain.

It's was an especially blatant attack by Russians on British soil.

Tillerson spoke up forcefully on that yesterday. And well, and carefully, and measured.

First rate.

Here's an major British daily newspaper on that:
Rex Tillerson says poison used on ex-spy 'clearly' came from Russia

And....why did Tillerson say Trump isn't so bright?

He should know by now, an friendly and first rate executive who has now seen Trump close up for months, worked with him.

Who's not so bright NOW?

C'mon, my friend, you gotta admit this is not only ironic, but SOMEBODY'S words (not very smart or wise ones) came back to bite him.

BIG TIME.

I suspect President Trump didn't fire him back in October because it wasn't until yesterday that President Putin explained to President Trump what the word "moron" meant.
tulc(that's just a suspicion)

It's amazing that, when he was nominated, people on both sides of Trump said he was a bad choice. Now when he's fired, people say that was the wrong thing to do. Which was it, folks?

Ah, so you want to have it both ways. That's the way libs operate. Usually, when they point their finger at you in accusation, it's really what they're doing that they accuse you of.
Regarding your parenthetical comment, most things ARE black and white. They just are. It may be true that there are 'circumstances' which we can use to forgive a wrong, things are right or they are wrong, objectively.
