When word leaked that Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson, a holder of the Order of Friendship award in Putin’s Russia, was Donald Trump’s choice for secretary of state, John McCain had this thoughtful response:
“Vladimir Putin is a thug, a bully, and a murderer and anybody else who describes him as anything else is lying.”
Yet, Putin is something else, the leader of the largest nation on earth, a great power with enough nuclear weapons to wipe the United States off the face of the earth. And we have to deal with him.
McCain was echoed by the senior Democrat on foreign relations, Bob Menendez, who said naming Tillerson secretary of state would be “alarming and absurd … guaranteeing Russia has a willing accomplice in the (Trump) Cabinet guiding our nation’s foreign policy.”
Sen Marco Rubio chimed in: “Being a ‘friend of Vladimir’ is not an attribute I am hoping for from a Secretary of State.”
If just three GOP senators vote no on Tillerson, and Democrats vote as a bloc against him, his nomination would go down. President Trump would sustain a major and humiliating defeat.

Kinda judgmental, ain’t they?
Little Marco will do whatever he’s told if he doesn’t want the Charlie Crist treatment.
FDR worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler. Trump can work with equivalent thugs to defeat Mad Moe’s Mafia.
McStain needs to retire.
McStain needs to retire.
Does McCain have anything to lose? He was just re-elected for the millionth time
Little Marco will do whatever he’s told if he doesn’t want the Charlie Crist treatment.
Yep. Little Marco’s Chamber of Commerce donors will call him up and tell him to support their guy for Sec. of State.
Lock them up.
Lamentations from the demoncrat fluffers-—Check
Good enough for me.
Menendez is crook, McLame is NUTS, and little Marco is a usless POS.
He dang sure better.
Just because these little dickweeds won an election in half a state doesn’t actually make them someone.
And the whole damned senate just stinks to High Heaven.
Worst people ever.
I couldn’t have said it any better.
Headline of the Day Poll
Is Rex Tillerson a good pick for Secretary of State?
No, he is too close to Russia’s Vladimir Putin
Yes, he has tremendous experience in international trade
Does Clinton get a “friend of Russia” award for getting them uranium?
Putin’s a white Orthodox Christian conservative and unsupportive of transsexual bathroom rights. Libs would rather suck up to Cuba, Venezuela, China and Iran.
There’s a special place in Hell for the girls McLame and Graham; two total RINO’s we could do without. I was so bummed when McStupid got re-elected; now he’s on his last tour of duty and is more dangerous than ever.
I wish there was a political way to neuter them both along with Ryan and McConnell whom are no better. The establishment Go Pee is currently in charge of both houses... damn it. So much good could done without those obstructionists in the way. They will try to sabotage Trump at every turn; just watch.
