Cabinet Hearings

Well dude, that's my point exactly. Tillerson is one of those picks that has me shaking my head. I can't see how anybody can possibly justify his selection.

I'm sure that he's an excellent corporate executive, a brilliant person and an astute businessman. But the conflict is just too strong to ignore.

Nevertheless, I'm still interested in seeing how this all plays out. I mean, it's never been done before, right? Nobody really knows.

It could either be brilliant, or end up a catastrophe.

Getcha popcorn...

 

Clearly we need more welfare recipients and minimum wage workers in high level cabinet positions...Nothing to back this up but I'd wager that all, or a majority of, cabinet members spanning both R and D presidencies were at least multi-millionaires. Who really eats a fvck?

 

dpSUP...I was asking kidde rocque his opinion, I'm fully aware of the 180 mil severance package. I'm amazed you think that means he's not involved still or won't work to protect the interests of his former colleagues.

 

I'm just scared for public lands man.

 

.

 

Don't sweat it bro. It would be difficult, even with a stacked Congress.

And even if they pull it off, it will all go away after the next erection.

Same as it ever was

 

Kinda like Cheney and Halliburton yeah?

 

Exactly.

Give these guys a chance, but don't be blinded by foolish loyalty.

 

and how many americans had to die, injured or maimed for life in Iraq for cheny and bush to wrestle control of their oil?
worth it?

 

I personally don't really give too many fu*ks... I think they all deserve a chance and should be judged on the job they do, not their past

My only point was that if he was appointed by the other side you'd being singing a much different song and it would be all about his ties to big oil. And dems saying "he cut ties to Exxon so he has no conflict" would get crushed.

 

Cheney and Bush?? We've been involved in the f@cking Middle East since the end of World War 2. BOTH political parties have blood on their hands dude. Get your head out of your azz. the POWERS THAT BE, are made up of the Elite of both parties, as Kidde has pointed out. You guys that pick one party's doctrine, be it Dem or Republican, are SHEEPLE. You want someone to blame? Look in the mirror. Its us, the public. WE elect these idiots from both parties. WE allow them to control us. Election in, Election out, we elect the same f@ck wits be they one party or the other. If this is the best we can do then we are a nation of idiots.
George Carlin. Google him. He will explain it to you.

 

not me I voted for gary Johnson and election before I voted for Ron Paul write in

 

I don't give two f@cks who you voted for in the last election. I was merely pointing out that YOU called out Bush and Cheney's oil grab like it was the sole source of our oil dependency on the Middle East and the sole source of the bloodshed. Do they have blood on their hands? You bet. Are they the only ones with blood on their hands? Nope. The Middle East wasn't all sunshine and unicorns before Bush and Cheney. As a matter of fact, it wasn't all sunshine and unicorns before they began pumping oil either. THOUSANDS of years of turmoil It's a sh!thole and always will be.

 

Thank you, Sir.

 

agreed on ur points...just the whole WMD then hanging saddam thing just never sat well with me,but one of my resolutions is to tune out politics in the future..so last post on the subject for me

 

I didn't necessarily mean you directly (though I know that's what I said)... I just mean everyone that is saying "great pick" for every one of his picks without knowing what they are going to be.
And those same people would say "horrible pick, they're just putting their rich buddies in these positions to help themselves" if they were picked by the other side.
But I do agree. Everyone should get a chance to perform before they are judged, good or bad.

I do like what I am seeing as far as jobs staying and moving to the US. So before he's even taken office I am seeing positives from the Ratings Machine DJT (aside from the ridiculous tweeting)
