I'm confused, I thought crazy lefties thought Tillerson is also a Russian stooge?

You can go back and read my posts as I was one who thought highly of Tillerson and thought he was one of the few adults in the Whitehouse.

Trump is the typical coward though, firing him on Twitter to avoid confrontation. That's quite a leader you got there.

Not a comment on Rex's departure but you folks should spend some time working at a place like Facebook or Microsoft. Your head would spin at how quickly executives are moved around and/or out on a yearly basis.

It's probably more relevant to compare the Whitehouse from past administrations than to compare it with the private sector and when you do that, it is a shit show.

Fair enough. Trump is not a politician though, which is why I initially thought of the private sector comparison.

We apologize for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible have been sacked.

We apologize again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

The directors of the firm hired to continue the credits after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked.

Maybe, maybe not.

In past administrations, were personal or political relationships, or loyalty more important than the ability to do the job?

But, but, but Hillary kept a sexual predator on staff, I assume out of personal loyalty. Is that better than the 'chaos' of firing people?

I see 4 on that list that I think had any significant importance:

Tillerson; big loss IMO, don't know how I feel about replacement yet

Cohn: not a big loss, replacement= similar/same

Price: not a big loss, by his own doing, not sure how I feel about replacement

Preibus: big loss IMO, replacement is fine

Well, the hyperbole of calling the turnover at the WH a 'body count', does tie in nicely to the Clinton body count.

Are you able to discuss the issue outside the context of "Hillary." E.g. if something is bad, just because Hillary might have also done something bad (valid or not) in some different time and context is eventually going to strain at credibility. It appears defensive rather than rational.

Honestly, from having lived out here in flyover country for some time and working with a ton of people on a daily basis as they go about their workaday world, this sort of stuff is only of interest to the punditry and to people like us. Other than activist-type right and activist-type left, I haven't found anyone who really cares about what person that guy in the White House is hiring or firing at any given moment as long as their paychecks keep coming in and they can save a little money for retirement and take a week-long vacation to Disney World every once in awhile.

One thing's for sure, though. The media's hair sure seems to catch fire every time Donny Two Scoops hires or fires someone. You'd think it was, like, the Deluxe Edition of "The Apprentice" or something. ;-)

Eh, I keep reminding myself: we've survived 44 presidents. We'll certainly survive the 45th, no matter how many terms he ends up serving.

He's only the first Dictator of the US though, so we're not sure that's gonna work out, as we have no historical background [other than Nixon, perhaps?]

I'm confused, I thought crazy lefties thought Tillerson is also a Russian stooge? Maybe, as one of the chief nutcases on ST you can provide a list of exactly who is, and who isn't a Russian stooge.
.

Oh, I think this firing supports the narrative. Instead of Romney, the job went to a guy Trump had reportedly never met and who was literally a “friend of Putin” and whose former company would benefit from a better relationship with Russia (as would the oligarchs).

But then, uh oh, he’s willing to say that the Russians are carrying out hits on former spies in the U.K. Then he’s fired so fast that heads are spinning.

While we’re on the topic, when is Trump going to implement those sanctions that were almost unanimously supported by Congress?

Cool, it has been years since someone posted nutbaggery from world net daily. We better get Hillary out of the Whitehouse straightaway.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Hahahahahahahaha!

I'd say even an airline hub, in Michigan, qualifies as "flyover country," because for damn sure most of the planes coming into this hub soon enough leave to go elsewhere. ;-)
