The near-unanimous view, even among his supporters, is that Tillerson himself did no favors in that hearing. He came before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with heavy baggage. As longtime chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest oil company, he had cut deals with tyrants; maneuvered against the interests of U.S. foreign policy; and enjoyed especially close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had awarded him an Order of Friendship medal.

Several senators and their staffs, expecting to engage with a worldly sage regardless of what else they might think of him, came out of the hearing surprised at how little Tillerson knew about high-profile foreign policy issues. (He had been offered, but turned down, a briefing from the State Department.) Some chafed at his apparent lack of concern for human rights in several countries where he’d done business. And a few were appalled by his deceptive testimony on Exxon Mobil’s lobbying practices.

Neat but Pompeo has little experience dealing with anyone other than Turkey. and that was for half a minute.

This is like making Tui the GM of the Raiders.

Or are we now saying that we don't need no diplomacy anymore, because Billionaire.

Sounds like a regular oil guy to me.

The funny thing about Rex is he wants to be in the Paris Accords and save the Iran deal. Pretty much why he got fired according to sources I have deep inside the White House quarters of the First Lady

I would give @HarveyRoad 's left nut to get deep inside the quarters of the First Lady.

When we all realize Trump runs America like a business. The less shocking this type of thing will be.

If he runs America like he runs his bidnesses, well then we fuct.

When you have big buildings plastered with your name.

When you have a hit televisions series.

When you have a clothing line.

When you go 18-0 against some of the biggest names in history.

I'll give two fucks what you think about the way he runs a business.

Good God you are stupid. I actually interrupted a really cool pretend vacation to tell you that.

Big buildings with his name on it? Do you still watch Starsky & Hutch?

Wait. There have been inexperienced people in Troomp's cabinet? Like, for real?

PS: Tillerson will take a shit later on today that has more business acumen than Troomp. Maybe he sucked as SOS. Maybe he didn't. Don't know. Trump hired him. He was who we thought he was. An oil man. Next.

Whoosh

The left hated Tillerson before they loved him. He was a stooge for Putin before he wasn't

You did help prove the point so thanks for that

No to all that. I liked Tillerson. Thought he'd be a voice of reason in a house I assumed would be a little emotional. Your LinkedIn article doesn't convince me a guy who had enuff between the ears to run a global multinational couldn't hang with the cool kids in DC.
