Tillerson Next for the Chop ?

According to the New York Times knives are being sharpened and Tillerson will be gone either December (happy Christmas Rex) or early in the new year.

The White House has developed a plan to force out Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson, whose relationship with President Trump has been strained, and replace him with Mike Pompeo, the C.I.A. director, perhaps within the next several weeks, senior administration officials said on Thursday.
Mr. Pompeo would be replaced at the C.I.A. by Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas who has been a key ally of the president on national security matters, according to the White House plan. Mr. Cotton has signaled that he would accept the job if offered, said the officials, who insisted on anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations before decisions are announced.

When asked about the report Trump would only say “He’s here. Rex is here.”

Bye Rex , that's what happens when you call the boss a moron ... regardless of if it's true.

Last month it was 'Tillerson is going to quit' and now this. No matter what the rumor is somehow a bunch of leftist alarmists will make it out to be the death throes of Trump admin.

If it's not that it's Twitter.

If not Twitter it's something else.

If somebody has a fire extinguisher please put out the dumpster fire that has enveloped the 'nuze' media.

Yeah , it's always others who are the problem not the problem himself.

It doesn't matter what he does. It will be spun to get the desired rabid reaction. Panicking leftists will gobble up the news with trembling lips, hearts black with rage and malice, wondering if they should cry or scream.

There is widely spread alarmism since Trump won. The levels of alarmism that were once reserved for only the most extreme ideologues are now becoming normalized.

And the beat keeps running.

Cotton at the CIA, who is a huge Trump supporter btw, would be VERY nice.

Sarah Sanders just said in the Press briefing that Rex Tillerson will remain in his job at least through the end of this year.

Looks like the deal's been done then.

Mr. Tillerson’s departure has been widely anticipated for months, but associates have said he was intent on finishing out the year to retain whatever dignity he could

New York Times is as trustworthy as a fiction novel.
