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.
Tillerson – the chief executive of ExxonMobil – has been a director of the oil company’s Russian subsidiary, Exxon Neftegas, since 1998. His name – RW Tillerson – appears next to other officers who are based at Houston, Texas; Moscow; and Sakhalin, in Russia’s far east.
The leaked 2001 document comes from the corporate registry in the Bahamas. It was one of 1.3m files given to the Germany newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung by an anonymous source. The registry is public but details of individual directors are typically incomplete or missing entirely.

Trumpfcucks keep getting swindled LOVING EVERY LAUGH

>being too BLOWN THE FUCK OUT to respond
Logan Rogers
Rex Tillerson was once interviewed by an environmentalist--a shortstack redhead with a a number of tattoos--and she asked about his stance on the impact of oil and gas drilling on the environment.
Tillerson became deeply pensive, resting his hands across his massive, silver belt buckle, and responded in thoughtfully measured words:
"Well, the way I see it... If Mother Earth really felt like she was being raped, she wouldn't squirt so God-damned much when I drilled her."
The interviewer immediately ripped off her clothing and attempted to mount Tillerson's cock, and after she was dragged away, HAZMAT was called to remediate the toxic snail trail she left behind.

Fuck (((trump)))

Drain the swamp is about forcing politicians to leave Washington once they've served Where did you get the idea it means we cant hire businessmen
Noah Thomas
LOL
Julian Cook
>Hire experienced people for a job >Replace them once they've done their job
It's like you didn't even follow the revolving door of the Trump campaign manager position.
Lincoln Sullivan
We know this already. What's the point of your thread?
Jose Powell
Drumpftards are too busy going after shit like Pizzagate and birth certificate crap to bother with the real conspiracy - how Trump has been yelling about fighting tax-dodging shitheads while hiring them himself.
Logan Reyes
> Russian subsidiary >subsidiary Wow, that's a fucking stretch
Connor Stewart

Ian Rivera
>a person familiar with foreign trade and foreign policy is going to be made Secretary of State
>somehow this doesn't make sense to you
Are you retarded?
Nathan Robinson
>Trump appoints someone with foreign policy experience >Obama appoints his opponent from the primary exposing the fact that the entire election was just for show anyway
Jackson Rivera
>a person with no loyalty to his country is going to be secretary of state >this is a good idea You really think a globalist is going to curtail globalism? and you call other people retarded
Levi Phillips
clinton is familiar with making deals with our enemies as well
face it
you want globalism/ but russian flavored globalism
Joshua Perry
>guy does business with Russians >HE'S A GLOBALIST SHILL AND HE HATES THE UNITED STATES >RUSSIA IS THE ENEMY GUYS
You fucking faggots are a thousand times worse than UFOfags and Alex Jonesites combined. Please kill yourselves at your earliest convenience.
Gabriel Evans
I'm just in this for the POTUS pics. Don't care about much anything else.
Jose Foster
Dur....meant SCOTUS
Caleb Russell
Ya lets put a failed carpenter, community organizer, or some chick who fucked her way to relevance in charge of everything instead of competent businessmen
William Edwards
It's not argument about experience, it's about background. Trump campagined against the type of globalism and Wall Street bullshit that has impacted the lives of a lot of Americans. You can't help but be a bit put off by the fact that he's filling his cabinet picks with globalists and wall streeters.
David Murphy
Because we have a massive crony capitalism problem. Stop dick riding Trump so much.
Ian Scott
Of course people are put off by it but the fact is, the two party system will always have this shit. Honestly I'm not surprised he didn't pull a full neo con switch. I'm happier with his cabinet than Obamas and I'd rather not have to hate Russia because CNN tells me to.
Easton Edwards
What are you getting at OP? That Russians are evil and that anyone associated with them should not be allowed a government position?
Dylan Evans
Oh shit they know
Levi Fisher
what if that person sold the Russians uranium? sage desu
Samuel Roberts
On the day of the rake, may you slip between the tines, leaf-bro.
Luis Miller
I see it fairly indicative of how hungry Americans are for a govt that actually has their interests in mind vs. continuing to further the interests of those at the top. OPs image is pretty telling because Obama campaigned in a similar fashion in 2008 and pulled his own switcheroo. He probably would have lost if Romney wasn't such an oblivious rich person crying about poor people.
btw if you're not happy with Clinton and them telling you had bad the Ruskies are, are you going to be happy with Trump is going to tell you how bad the Iranians are?
Dominic Edwards
>we're okay with globalism when Trump does it He is the definition of a globalist, regardless of Russia. He has done business with literally all the same countries Clinton was criticized for simply talking to. He is also a company man who as dedicated his whole life to Exxon. If you think these things are going to change now you are deluded.
Ethan Thompson
Selling a country Uranium to make bombs is a little different than being a CEO of an oil company that has ties to Russian oil companies.
Did you conveniently forget that Russia is the largest exporter of oil in Europe?
Bentley Foster
>Clinton Foundation takes money from Saudis constantly >Spends that money to lobby for American federal funding under the pretense of charity
>Exxon executive uses company finances to establish a mutually beneficial international business relationship involving the trade of commodities
If you think these two behaviors are the same thing then you should be hanged.
Xavier Lopez
Russia is run by the fucking mafia
so is the middle east
they are both pedo/drug/ arms trafficking treasonous mobsters working for foreign interests
Mason Myers
>he thinks the US isn't run by a mafia
Haha holy shit do you think they all disappeared in the 40s or something?
Aaron Bennett
The Iranians hate Americans and want us to die, the Russians are cordial.
Also Obama's platform was big, vague, and betrayed the few concrete elements it had. Trump's platform is narrowly focused and has yet to cause troubles.
Josiah Barnes
>He is the definition of a globalist,
Are you retarded? This is why leftists can't debate about Trump's issues, they don't understand basic terms.
The dictionary is your friend.
Noah Martin
He has such good knowledge of economics and the world and is so successful and good at business that he has some in other countries. So what. This is a fascist ethnic national socialist board; why are you here?
Michael Richardson
Lmao
Jace Adams
Cannot believe Trumpcucks believed a fucking billionaire was going to act in the common man's interests. Much of my country IS ASTRONOMICALLY FUCKING RETARDED
Nicholas Carter

Eli Peterson
Shut ***THE FUCK*** up you hypocritical shitstain. YOU'RE ORANGE CHEETO IS BECOMING WHAT YOU HATE

John White
>Mr Trump addressed the origin of his “drain the swamp” chants even more brazenly. “Funny how that term caught on, isn’t it? I told everyone - ‘I hate it!’. I hated it. I said, ‘oh, that’s so hokey, that’s so terrible.’ I said, ‘all right, I’ll try it.’ So like a month ago, I said ‘drain the swamp.’ Place went crazy. I said ‘woah’. Then I said it again. Then I started saying it like I meant it, right?”
>Mr Trump made similarly cavalier comments at a rally in West Virginia in June. After months of branding the Primary voting process a "rigged, disgusting dirty system", he told the crowd: “You’ve been hearing me say it’s a rigged system but now I don’t say it anymore because I won. You know, now I don’t care.”
>A number of Mr Trump’s pledges unleashed unprecedented aggression against Ms Clinton, especially his promise to “lock her up”. It was also a pledge he backtracked on almost immediately after beating her, telling a Michigan rally chanting “lock her up”: “That plays great before the election. Now, we don’t care, right?”
Jack Moore
Triggered lefty detected. Maybe if you cry more and call Trump more childish names then maybe he won't be your president anymore. Oh wait, there's no changing that. Cry more lefty.
