Look who comes wriggling out of the slime pit…surprise, surprise. Donald may have to build another swamp with Chinese steel…
Ya… but Ya…but does Tillerson have an oil tanker named after him ??? Huh ?? Huhh? Does he???
A “Not Suitable For Viewing Without Second Cup of Coffee and/or Double Screwdriver” warning would have been greatly appreciated.
If we impose sanctions on _____, then it will personally cost us a lot of money, so we’ll pass.
Maybe we’ll soon be just like Venezuela, or Russia, or any of the other authoritarian regimes that own their own oil industry and control the population through intimidation.
Republicans selling out America for personal gain, over and over and over again.
Gov’t of, by and for the bog people.
So easily manipulated! Did they use flattery, telling HO that he’s so smart he probably would have thought of Tillerson all by himself?
Meanwhile, back in the real world, China is amping up their criticism of Pepe’s unwillingness to abide by the One China policy. This is gonna get ugly. But hey, Big Oil will profit immensely.
Can’t wait to see how OPEC weighs in…
What do you know? Tillerson was recommended by Condoleezza Rice, the NYT’s Nick Kristof go-to example of a serious conservative intellectual who by all rights should have a job as a college professor if only those liberal professors weren’t so darn ideological and close-minded. (From his most recent column: “Condoleezza Rice, a secretary of state for George W. Bush, would add value to any campus.” Back in May: “With her experience and intellect, Condoleezza Rice would enhance any political science department.” ) There are more serious threats out there right now than Kristof I know, but somehow I am especially bugged by that sanctimonious jack-ass and his ongoing effort to show how fair and open-minded he is by urging colleges to hire more Republicans.
I think it was Flake saying hey, Rice and Gates recommended him, works for me. FFS
This is good, because Sec. Rice didn’t do enough damage to this country the first time around.
Drain the swamp? Same old, same old. Trump supporters should feel ashamed for believing the Donald.
“James Baker, secretary of state under George H.W. Bush, has also
supported Tillerson, according to Politico. Baker is a partner at a the
law firm Baker Botts, which has represented both Exxon and Russian
state-owned oil giant Rosneft.”
No conflicts there, uh uh. hahahahahahahahahahaha I mean really. If Obama had even hinted at doing something like this…
same old same old? If only, this is far worse then same old same old.
The biggest of which “conservatives” is Putin, of course.
I guess in republicon circlejerks greed is more important to them than being Americans…subjecting this country to someone who only requirement is to make as much money for themselves at the detriment of this country…
Not exactly shocking that oil lobbyists and reps would support an Exxon CEO for powerful Cabinet position. Shocking thing is that enough Americans voted to make this happen.
Huh, “would add value to any campus”? Isn’t she on the Stanford faculty? https://politicalscience.stanford.edu/people/condoleezza-rice
Yup, and Jeff Flake is already using their “endorsements” as cover for a possible yes vote. DESPICABLE. It’s not even party before country anymore, but rather $$$ before self-preservation.
@mattinpa Ah, beat me to it.
