Donald Trump is expected to nominate ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, two sources close to the transition process told NBC News on Saturday.
The 64-year-old veteran oil executive has no government or diplomatic experience, although he has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The pick would put to rest weeks-long speculation of who would earn the post as the U.S.'s top diplomat, and would place Tillerson fourth in line to the presidency.


Looks like the rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth will reach a keening level.

Doesn't Rex Tillerson have a deal worth half a trillion dollars with Russia that can only go through if we lift sanctions on them? And now he's to be Secretary of State? Sure seems like that swamp draining is going well.

Hey Bub, I am called the Sage of Maysville. Please restrain yourself in your Trumpian glee. We can hear you chortling all the way up here.

Manafort chortles with Putin.

Just curious--is your delight borne solely at your anticipation of liberal reaction, or because you think Trump is choosing well-qualified candidates?

He's clearly chosen someone who's qualified and who's even more qualified than some previous Secretaries of State. But my "delight" is in anticipation of the next act of the liberal muppet show.

Do you feel the same way about all of his appointments? Carson for HUD is a curious choice, for instance.

Ben has qualifications. I'm not sure how they apply to HUD. But then again, HUD is not a priority department in my opinion, so I am rather ambivalent about the choice. Of all Trump's choices though, the left should care least about this one because I'll give Ben credit...I think he genuinely cares about the disadvantaged especially since he grew up as one.

"I don't care about that department, so I don't care if Trump appoints someone who isn't qualified." Got it.
