Not sure how much I know, just what is widely reported and most of that deals with the North Korean situation, but seems like Tillerson would get better the longer he worked in his capacity as Sec of State. Pompeo atleast should be abundantly more qualified in knowing the geo-political issues and challenges at hand.

The more interesting aspect is the opening this creates at CIA and the individual now elevated to take that position.

Rex is far better off being out of the Trump Admin. He allegedly called Trump a moron, and Rex never denied this. Look at the turnover in the Trump Admin compared to previous Presidents. Who would want to work for that moron who rules by & thrives on chaos. What a way to lead.

Watching plenty of tournament basketball, prepping for Noreaster #4 this week.

Same here Goober! Get your shovel ready, lol. Cold enough for you? Lol! Snow in March!! Doh! Oh, the snow.

Dont know what to think about Tillerson leaving. I was disappointed but understand we live in dangerous times. With China now a dictatorship, Russia having sham elections, and North Korea to deal with, it may be a good move to have a spymaster in the role and not an ex-corporate titan.

Excellent point. Well stated, very fair. Well thought out response. Thanks for sharing! I don’t know about all of you, but I hope we get more riveting threads like this from Goober. Maybe tomorrow he’ll tell us what he had for breakfast after he shovels his driveway. Goob, don’t forget to post a pic of a ruler in the snow to let us know the accumulation in your area!

I was hoping the thread title meant he wouldn't be posting garbage for awhile.

With China now a dictatorship

You don't say! Tell me, when did China become a dictatorship?
