[quote]Donald Trump is expected to nominate Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, two sources close to the transition process told NBC News on Saturday. Tillerson, 64, became president of the Texas-based oil company in 2004 and has a close business relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has spent his entire career at the company now known as Exxon Mobil. The sources cautioned that nothing is final until the president-elect officially announces it, likely next week. The selection of Tillerson comes after Trump and his transition team spent weeks searching for someone to fill the post of the top U.S. diplomat. Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani were reportedly in the running. Giuliani said Friday he had taken his name out of consideration.[/quote] [url]http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/rex-tillerson-exxon-mobil-expected-be-named-trump-s-secretary-n694371[/url]
OH COME ON.
Literally who? Does he even have any qualifications?
Drain the Swamp, by replacing it with a worse swamp! :downs:
Jesus fucking christ. Bunch of fucking scumbags. It's so bewildering to hear people, like my parents for example, trying to justify voting for this cocksucking piece of shit. My dad says "OH WELL HE'S PICKING PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO MAKE MONEY, SO AMERICA CAN BE GREAT AGAIN." [I]You seriously expect the richest motherfuckers on the planet to give a shit about us?[/I]
At least the next 4 years are gonna be an interesting experiment. We get to see what happens to the US economy and all that jazz with a heavily republican president, a republican congress and a republican supreme court.

[QUOTE=Deathtrooper2;51509093]The Oligarchy shows its true colors.[/QUOTE] Pretty much. Rich will get richer. Poor will get poorer. Middle class will get fucked to death from both sides, while being told the poor are at fault. It makes me so goddamn-motherfucking angry that this retard is going to be in charge. This can't be really happening, I genuinely cannot believe that in 2016, this many backwards-thinking retards still exist.
welp I am at a total loss for words this is going to be a terror show of a presidency

Anybody want to try "how will this make America great again" for $100,000?
Does Trump just pick who the fuck ever for his cabinet? This dude has no experience in government how the hell is he fit for Secretary of State? His cabinet picks alone show Trump has no clue what the fuck he's doing.

America is going through some sort of masochistic self-hate phase.
[QUOTE=nox;51509178]America is going through some sort of masochistic self-hate phase.[/QUOTE] Basically. Except it's going to affect the rest of us too.

Poor Mitt. He was so close to getting his tiny face in the papers again.
How can I medically induce a 4 year coma?

Kansas is the most familiar for me. We should all be afraid.
Is he going to get Joseph Kony into Department of Health and Human Security?
These next 4 years the democrat state governments are going to need to step up and help the bottom poor because the feds sure as a bear shitting in the woods won't. I never thought we'd live in a time where a decentralized government is preferable.
Looks like Trump only drained the swamp so he could drill for oil

I can see it being worse on a state level than a federal level now. I think the Republicans are going to be very hands off. Way too hands off.
