It's fascinating--when Trump was first selecting his cabinet, Tillerson's appointment was one of the most roundly criticized, everyone focused on his lack of political experience and his obvious connections to the oil industry. However, throughout his tenure, it seemed that Tillerson was continually presenting a much more measured and nuanced approach to international diplomacy than anyone--likely including Trump--expected. Honestly, I thought he was doing a pretty decent job, especially considering the presumably steep learning curve. I think it's really unfortunate that he's out just 14 months into the job, even moreso considering the fact that he and Trump often had significantly different views on various international issues. I think the executive branch benefits by having several divergent viewpoints that can be debated and discussed before action. If Pompeo is much more Trump-ian in his thinking, then I that hurts diversity of thought, which will be detrimental in the long-run.
Unfucking believable. Just when you think he couldn't sink any lower, he proves he has no bottom, other than the fact that he's all ass.
