i REALLY COME HERE NOW FOR THE LAUGHS ....THANKS GUYS.

Flat earthers are fucked up.

ExxonMobil helped defeat Russia sanctions bill Source: Politico ExxonMobil successfully lobbied against a bill that would have made it harder for the next president to lift sanctions against Russia, clearing the way for the oil giant to restart a program worth billions of dollars if Donald Trump eases those restrictions as president. The company’s effort could be helped by outgoing CEO Rex Tillerson, who, if confirmed as secretary of state, would be a key adviser on the decision. The bill, known as the STAND for Ukraine Act, would have converted into law for five years President Barack Obama’s measures punishing Russia for annexing Crimea, making it more difficult for Trump to roll them back. The Senate left town on Monday without acting on the bill, making it easier for Trump to end the sanctions with a stroke of the pen. The sanctions forced Exxon to step back from a drilling project in Russia’s Arctic, a loss that the company valued in a regulatory filing at as much as $1 billion. Exxon also lobbied the Senate Foreign Relations Committee against previous bills punishing Russia for the invasion of Ukraine, according to a person familiar with the company’s efforts on Capitol Hill. Exxon’s intervention against the sanctions bill could add to concerns among senators — including Republicans John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio — that Tillerson is too chummy with Vladimir Putin. Exxon’s business partner in Russia is state-owned Rosneft, led by Igor Sechin, a close Putin ally who was sanctioned by the Treasury Department in 2014. Tillerson and Putin personally concluded the joint venture in 2011. Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/exxon-mobile-russia-sanctions-rex-tillerson-232770

Amazing just amazing.

Was Clinton invested in a Russian company?

If your profiting off our enemy you shouldn't be representing our national security. Hey it's fine in the private sector. If true he won't be SOS

nice pick eh? As I said leaks work both ways. Leak reveals Rex Tillerson is director of Bahamas-based US-Russian oil company Source: The Guardian Rex Tillerson, the businessman nominated by Donald Trump to be the next US secretary of state, is the long-time director of a US-Russian oil firm based in the tax haven of the Bahamas, leaked documents show. The leaked 2001 document comes from the corporate registry in the Bahamas. It was one of 1.3m files given to Germanys Sddeutsche Zeitung by an anonymous source. The registry is public but details of individual directors are typically incomplete or missing entirely. Though there is nothing untoward about this directorship, it has not been reported before and is likely to raise fresh questions over Tillersons relationship with Russia ahead of a potentially stormy confirmation hearing by the US senate foreign relations committee. ExxonMobils use of offshore regimes while legal may also jar with Trumps avowal to put America first....The Bahamas is notorious for secrecy. It has a corporate tax rate of zero.

I take it none of you guys were around during Watergate? This is much worse because it involves a foreign country.

Russia is and has always been a threat. Romney was correct but he's just a pussy today.

Someday you will sober up hopefully before it kills you. He asked me a question and I answered like a civilized person.

It's also sad as that any American dem or repub not to think Putin has many things on Trump that he is holding. You don't find it odd there was nothing on Trump?
