Tillerson is actually a rather interesting move for Secretary Of State. The guy literally crawled to the top of Exxon Mobil from pretty much nothing after all, which isn't something I can say for most of the entitlement-culture politicians we tend to get in these cabinet positions. He's nothing if not tenacious, and I can respect that.

His "ties" to Russia could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what we do with it. Rex is the one holding the cards in their relationship (I'm assuming some of you are familiar with how he helped OAO Rosneft)...which is something we could be using as leverage if we want their cooperation in dealing with Saudi Arabia, ISIS, etc.

I don't take a moral stance on anything in regards to politics: as far as I'm concerned, we've never had a leader who hasn't fucked up in some fundamental way, including Bill Clinton and Obama. I'll be watching the next four years with great interest.

I really don't think Tillerson will be able to pass Senate Confirmation. I'm hearing that Rick Perry is being considered for Department of Energy. The same department that he has said in primary debates that he thinks should not exist. He's probably going to dismantle it from the inside out.

Come to think of it, a large majority of the seats being appointed are by people that are contradictory to the department they will be in charge of. They are pretty much going to be dismantling every single department from the inside out and doing the opposite of what the departments were creating for.

Also we don't need Tillerson's ties with Russia, We have Trump's ties with Russia already.


I have a question for the Trump fan boys/supporters that keep saying that he was talking more about policy than Hillary.

What's his foreign policy stance?

I'm not trying to be picky here, just to understand. Do you mean "he thinks should NOT exist"? Doesn't make much sense otherwise...

I think the Kanye story will be a good forecast of what a slow news day looks like for the next four years.

Goofle 12-13-2016 03:26 PM

Trump is already a better president than Obama.

Frownland 12-13-2016 03:29 PM

Obama can pose for pictures too bro

Kanye smiles with Obama. Doesn't smile with Trump. Tell you everything you need to know.

Let's be honest, Trump will do anything to force the media to show him smiling.

Kim Kardashian.

Quote:

Kanye West has said previously that he would love to run for president in 2020, so what’s stopping him? Recently of course he’s been made a bit of a fool of himself in regards to his support for Donald Trump, but we can’t let that blind us from the reality. Kanye West as a figure in the White House would not only stir things up in politics, it would also open the eyes of Congress and the Senate and perhaps push them to take this country a bit more seriously. Kanye West is a lot like Donald Trump in the sense that he says what he wants and doesn’t let it take him over. However, in Kanye’s defense, he has a lot to gloat about, with being a fairly successful hip-hop artist and is an overall funny character. His interruption of Taylor Swift alone has given him enough credit to set foot into the White House.
Quote:

Don’t look at me like that; if a television celebrity like Donald Trump can win the election and hold office for four years, why can’t Kim Kardashian do it? Can you just imagine how it would go? Instead of the sexist and misogynistic attitude that we’re getting with Donald Trump, we’d instead get somebody who has nude photos across the internet. The best part about it being of course she’d finally have a reason to consider herself famous. Imagine if either Kim and Kanye won and both would be considered for each other’s Vice Presidents. The world would lose its freaking mind and it’d be the most hilarious election process the world has ever seen. Not only would Kim Kardashian not know what she was doing, but Kanye West would record an album based on the hilarity of the president’s job. I’d pay to see a reality TV show based on Kim K as president. Who wouldn’t? “Keeping Up With The Presidential Election” anyone?

Can we all agree that if Kanye ran for pres, 4chan and reddit would make it happen which would be even worse than Trump.

The most interesting thing is that he would probably run either as an independent or a Republican. Especially after 8 years of winning under the Trump administration.

And yes, he probably would win. I mean Elizabeth Warren, would be running again at that point.

Also i'll alert you to this tweet Kiiii: https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/808769227847036941

Aren't you supposed to be mad at Trump for already backing up on half of his promises or is that not what Milo thinks?

I certainly believed I did, though with politicians you never really know, do you? That makes sense now though.

Stephen 12-14-2016 06:05 PM

I think it's fair to say Trump is carefully selecting his cabinet to **** you all in the arse sans lube. GG America.

Yeah so it would seem. Rip us. But hey, at least the Fundy right isn't being 'persecuted' from here on out.
