Moved up the chain. Seems competent. Huge, bigly executive experience.

I'm just curious about his views on geopolitical events. America's role in the world. shite like that. Guess we'll have to wait for confirmation hearings

No its nice having businessmen who understand how business is conducted running this nation now. First Trump and now Tillerson. Get Obama and Kerry the F out of here, neither one of those donkeys ever ran a business successfully.

Rex is a billionaire, has five pounds of balls and enough hair on his arse to weave an indian blanket. He loves Russian pussy and is tight with Putin who is on board with MAGA and that is all you need to know until the God Emperor tells you something he wants you to know. Sit back and count the money, the good times are about to roll.

Typical libtard -- making a concrete statement out of ignorant -- without bothering with facts.

Executive stuff is a throwaway really, because we want to know about the stuff that isn't public. So I agree that we should be looking forward to the confirm hearing. What we do know about him isn't bad on the surface. He likes dealing with Russia and has done so to his profit in the past (shouldn't be hard, honestly). He has been vocally opposed to sanctions, demonstrating an advanced understanding of how they work, which is nice considering that our last 7 SOSs either have no clue or they intentionally murdered civilians to instigate conflict.

I think his point is that virtually anybody would be an upgrade over Lurch.

Whether or not that's YOUR POV is, of course, your affair.

lol. Most oil & gas companies are state owned throughout the world. Relatively few are privately owned and most are in the US.

Gotcha. Sorry -- I missed that it was a joke. BTW, I'm not a Trumpkin either, although I despise Paul Ryan, John Boehner, and their GOPe friends. My post history would show that. I probably shouldn't have assumed you were a libtard.

Book it, he'll have Bolton close to his ear. Bolton was a tad persona-antagonistic re eye to eye dialogue for problematic relationships.

Excellent choice. Just what we expected and can, from a Business person over that of Community Organizer.
