Then Cheney/Rumsfeld and THEIR CABAL really took it into Warp Speed, WBush was just a drug/alcohol brain addled pawn....

Let's hope Putin's puppet remains fully clothed in his ugly blue suit and diaper, and his socks don't shred under the immense weight of swollen ankles.

(20,992 posts)I've never been to an oil company executive board meeting, but that doesn't sound like something that would sell. Of course I'm not a business genius who had a TV game show, so what do I know.
I do know going into Venezuela amidst a civil war comes with great risk. Exxon could spend a fortune setting up oil production only to be thrown back out when the next president hands the reins back to Venezuela. I doubt future administrations will be obligated to reimburse them.

(176 posts)For all that Trump claims to hate the Bush's he continues to use the roadmap they created for him., as in Bush Sr's kidnapping of Noriega to W and Jeb's theft of the 2000 Presidential election in Florida that was rubberstamped by the GOP controlled Supreme Court with a number of those same Supreme Court judges who appointed W, having been appointed when Bush Sr was either Vice President or President. Our country will never be the same because of the Bushes.
