I wonder what he’ll say when Trump asks him how to “take the oil” from Iraq?

It will be interesting to see how long the (1) Russians gaming our election; and (2) Trump picking Russian cronies for key cabinet positions, story continues, while the media continues to focus on the nasty winter weather.

Good. This ensures the story of Russian influence has an ongoing forum. I was almost afraid that he’d back down on this choice. (What was I thinking?)

Tony Perkins is pissed:

To hear that Donald Trump may be appointing a man who not only led the charge to open the Boy Scouts to gay troop leaders but whose company directly gives to Planned Parenthood is upsetting at best. FRC knows Tillerson all too well, having worked for years to put the brakes on his reckless agenda for a scouting organization that was already dealing with staggering numbers of sexual abuse cases.

Unfortunately, the BSA, under Tillerson, ultimately caved to the pressure of the far-Left, irreparably splitting the Scouts and destroying a proud and honorable American tradition. Under his chairmanship, ExxonMobil’s score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate “Equality” Index has also skyrocketed to 87 percent.

He’ll have to change his first name. We already have a king-elect

The Russian Order of Friendship that Putin awarded Tillerson in 2013:

Comrade Rex: Hero of Mother Russia.

I’m sure this is an excellent selection because Trump is, like, smart, OK?

Rick Perry to head Energy Dept…the same dept he could not name in a debate. And at that time he was looking to abolish it.

So if appointed and confirmed will Perry show up Commerce or Education on his first day? Will his wife have to write the name of department on the palm of his hand every morning?

It’s those damned glasses I tells ya!
So Perry heads a dept. he wanted to take down. Once again we are shown plainly as possible that trump has no sense of irony.
Or maybe, as Mrs darr pointed out to me, this is just desserts…a Perry punishment.

Would it be more than ironic if Jeb! would have gotten the nomination and confirmed for DoE? Trump couldn’t accuse him of low energy then.
