Stupid as Frick.

It isn't like the are exporting jobs or outsourcing.

Standard Oil was all up in the Soviets arse right after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.

So much dumb with this I don't even feel like bothering.

They are drilling for a commodity. Very different that a company going overseas to use foreign labor to make a finished product they could make here. Then, to just turn around and sell it back here in America with our credit cards.

Obama did do something about Iran. He have them a billion dollars and let them capture some of our sailors without repercussions.

Tillerson has recused himself from all government matters involving Exxon. He also sold all his stock in the firm, and is placing the shares he would have received over the next decade into an independently managed trust.

lol, I'm sure they really had to twist his arm to agree to that.

I'll give him props for this now, I still worry that this will slide through at some point if/when the heat dies down.

Typical zero input from the biggest idiot on this board.

So if a guy is accused of a crimeit's his burden of proof instead of the other way around.


Here you go folks, this is the liberal mind at work. Stupidity at its best.

That's not what the article said. It said "The Trump administration is under intense scrutiny over its ties to Moscow." Which is true. Anyway you slice it.

Secondly, if you think that if there is an independent investigation, where they can make Trump give info on all his financial dealings, that they wouldn't find substantial ties to Russia, then you are in denial IMO.

I'll tell you what. Why don't we start with just his tax returns. If Trump would release his tax returns, then we might could find out if what his son Donald Jr. said in 2008 is true:

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.”
