the Exxon deal is (at least for now) dead. There's no use for him.

Yes he could do the right thing & turn on Trump & Putin for the sake of our nation & our allies around the world.

I'll give him that.
However he has always known what kind of person Putin was, yet graciously accepted awards from RU & has never protested against the atrocities being done to this planet in the name of EXXON & the need for global energy domination.

He has an awful lot to "make right.

"Took the Order of Friendship from @PutinRF as he was torturing Sergei Magnitsky to death and persecuting gays; passed sensitive drilling tech to Russia; is a weapons-grade traitor.

I don't know if that is saying very much.

I don't think he wanted the job but got talked into it. And he is probably really glad to be out of there.

JMO.

He's no liberal in any sense, but I think he resented the Trump insults. In some ways, he actually acted like he wanted to really do the job at times, but overall, I can't give him a lot of props.

cleanup of the Alaska oil spill that wiped out herring , razor clams, waterfowl, sea otters, etc. The benthos is dead and unlikely to recover for many centuries, if at all.

Rex and Exxon suck, and the BS of America should take away that Eagle Scout award.
