Because of his Nea avatar I legitimately at first thought that was Nea dad trolling by making what he thought would be generic Chula answers.

I'm dead serious: maybe we have different definitions of what a "conflict of interest" is in regards to where corporations and government collide. He's no longer going to even have stock in Exxon, which means it won't matter what they do after he cashes in his stock and it all goes into a trust somewhere. Even if the sanctions in Russia are lifted, he wouldn't see a dime. How is it a conflict of interest at this point in time in regards to the position he's going to take?

Also, Democrats and Republicans have both proven to be amazingly inept when it comes to government, so I don't think you have anything to be smug about. To put it another way, George W. Bush and John Podesta are equally idiotic.

Conflict of interest would be a politician funded by oil companies denying that climate change is happening or that it has a direct correlation with how much CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere.

And you know this for certain how? You come across extremely naive in your proclamations.

Google "Backroom Dealings".

If "officially" Cheney wasn't going to benefit from the Haliburton deal, why were they awarded a no-bid contract?????

Wake the **** up to reality.

If you were living in reality you wouldn't be trying to lecture me based on paranoid assumptions involving completely different people and situations. There's been a lot of articles out there going more in-depth into what is going on with Tillerson (including a lot of hard information on the divestiture process) currently if you really want to get all the facts.

I'm optimistic based on the information available to me, as opposed to you who comes across as a screaming Alex Jones-level conspiracy theorist who bases their arguments on correlation that doesn't actually exist.

Anteater keeps on waving his ignorant red flag. Whatever dude.

Yeah I read it as an Onion post as well.

Yeah when I saw that he had my avatar I was like WTF?

*snort*

Let's just agree to disagree and call it a day. You are way too predisposed for paranoia in relation to business / government related stuff to have a logical discussion about it.
