lot of rumbling and inter-cabinet conflict over Tillerson right now and Friday has been when a lot of Trump's cabinet has resigned

rumors are abound on this, not sure what to think between skewed media/WH narratives, but it's pretty clear that there's a significant rift between Tillerson/Trump

The secretarys refusal to deny that he had called the president a moron in his opening statement and in his responses to questions from reporters stoked Trumps anger and widened the rift between the two men, officials said.


Seems like the same kinds of rifts reported prior to numerous other resignations. The only other one that hasn't really panned out (yet) was Sessions.

I imagine if he does resign it'll be by this afternoon. If not, I'd attribute this to people overstating the conflict or possibly other officials reigning everybody in since this would look really bad if it happened.

Mike Pompeo will be the replacement if the rumors are to be believed (CIA Director)

I want him to resign. Tillerson was never going to stop having conflicts of interest with foreign powers that would influence XOM.

Is he competent? Yes. Is that a feature I like in leaders who are empowering certain companies over others? No.

Kelly stepping down would be very bad.

We're going to win so much. You're going to get tired of winning. youre going to say, "Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don't win so much. This is getting terrible." And I'm going to say, "No, we have to make America great again." You're gonna say, "Please." I said, "Nope, nope. We're gonna keep winning."

I still don't understand why Tillerson even took the job.

His wife told him to.

How many years is it going to take to repair our image in the eyes of the global community?

Do we get a mulligan if the next election goes sensibly, or are we a joke for decades?
