....unless (they) all report to an autocrat... a tyrant. (Or someone who believes that he is...)
(Rhetorical:) What ever happened to... most-qualified for the job?
3/13/18 news report (link is below); Trump fires Secretary of State Rex Tillerson -- apparently (at least publicly?) via a 'Tweet':
Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 13, 2018

Update: More confirmation (links below) that Rex Tillerson learned of his actual firing via the president's public tweet, above. ...Making that a no-class, gutless move by Trump, if true.

Trump was asked if he fired Rex Tillerson because he called him a "moron." He didn't answer. https://t.co/8NCf07VVwy— Meg Wagner (@megwagner) March 13, 2018

Comment: Regular departures -- of various kinds -- are "normal" ...for the Trump-Chaos administration. But watch for more "firings" etc. in the near-future, perhaps especially if Pennsylvania Republican Saccone LOSES his race.
