From the get go, Tillerson was put at a disadvantage by the Trump administration. Why would a leader do that? Trump's preference for operating in chaos is beyond troubling. It actually hurts our diplomatic efforts with EVERY country. We will have to spend years trying to mend the alliances Trump is destroying.

Because Chuck Schumer in the Senate has the power to hold everything up. Just like Mitch McConnell did to Obama.
Without a super majority in the senate, things stagnate in times like this.

Not me.
A super globalist placement, was confusing to me. He contradicted Trump on many occasions like they were not even close to being on the same page.

No it cannot. The pres works for the people. We the people all of us -not just his followers. There must be checks n balances, different options and ideas not just a bunch of yes men and robots. For that. We just need a tyrant.

The guy is going to be left with nothing but political shills, so much for emptying the swamp.

He was a big time globalist that pushed the climate change global warming crap, so his big oil buddies could make a killing off the consuming people. Who banks, when a Barrel of Oil is $100-$200?
And this coming from someone that has 2 wells on 2 separate pieces of land on the Eagle-Ford Shale.

Putin probably yanked on trump's strings, and voila! Tillerson is gone today.
Coincidence, conspiracy, collusion, ... it's not illegal, you know.

Oh bs. If he was paying attention to you-libs-the -people he would've drowned himself by now. Firing his SoS was hardly the work of a tyrant. Now if Trump was abusing the FISC and using this country's intelligence services to spy on a presidential opponent, then I would feel differently.
