Rex Tillerson was fact checked and in fact Exxon did lobby against sanctions

I like Tillerson. I have made this known. However, I was greatly bothered by the answer he gave a senator about sanctions against Iran and Russia where he was very evasive. I have no problem with him not calling Putin a war criminal because I never heard Kerry or Clinton refer to him with those words which have meaning under international law. He was the CEO of Exxon and to suddenly forget key facts on his company's lobbying efforts in regard to sanctions which I believe were very successful in regard to Iran and Russia. It will be interesting to see what Rubio does. I am not a fan of Rubio, but I believe he is sincere in fighting for human rights.

I disagree Mr. Oats. Both Rubio as well as Corey Booker were grandstanding because of their own ambitions . . . . it was an opportunity to get national attention and valuable face time in front of media cameras.

Corey Booker began his 2020 campaign for President yesterday. We thought TWO YEARS was excessive.

Here's hoping he takes spineless conservtards to the woodshed.
