Then, maybe he can relax a bit. I mean, if he's innocent of any Russian collusion or obstruction of justice charges. right?
Being edgy and nervous isn't a good sign when under scrutiny. |

You'd be angry too if idiots were constantly pointing their fingers at you with false aligations. |

Somebody needs to spend some time on a board, any amount of time, and not so much time on the computer. You always sound angst ridden. Do yourself a favor and get wet. |

wow,,, rex has come out...

Rex Tillerson warns of 'integrity and ethics crisis' – but doesn't name Trump
| Quote: | Former secretary of state speaks at Virginia Military Institute and urges graduates to resist ‘leaders [who] seek to conceal the truth’
On Wednesday, Rex Tillerson said: ‘When we as a people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth, even on what may seem the most trivial of matters, we go wobbly on America.’

Rex Tillerson, the former secretary of state, warned on Wednesday that America had plunged into a “crisis of ethics and integrity in our society and among our leaders” that could set the country down “a pathway to relinquishing our freedom”.
Tillerson, who was dismissed in March by Donald Trump, did not name the president. But his remarks, before a graduating class at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington were largely seen as directed at the Trump administration.
“If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom,” Tillerson said.
“A responsibility of every American citizen to each other is to preserve and protect our freedom by recognizing what truth is and is not, what a fact is and is not, and to begin by holding ourselves accountable to truthfulness and demand our pursuit of America’s future be fact-based, not based on wishful thinking, not hoped-for outcomes made in shallow promises, but with a clear-eyed view of the facts as they are and guided by the truth that will set us free to seek solutions to our most daunting challenges.”
If we do not confront the crisis of ethics and integrity in our society, democracy as we know it is entering its twilight years
Rex Tillerson
Trump has presented himself as a defender of the truth, having invented and popularized the phrase “fake news”, by which he means news that is bad for him.
But the president has been repeatedly exposed as an habitual liar prone to exaggerating the size of his crowds, his fortune and his popularity; given to denials of acquaintances, deals and relationships; and offering changing and contradictory descriptions of his own actions and motivations and those of people around him.
Tillerson’s address to the military school was scheduled before he was removed as secretary of state. Upon Tillerson’s departure, Trump praised him by saying: “I very much appreciate his commitment and his service and I wish him well. He’s a good man.”
But Trump admitted that he and Tillerson “disagreed on things”, including the Iran nuclear deal, which Tillerson wished to stay in, and the 2017 blockade of Qatar by Saudi Arabia, which Tillerson criticized and Trump supported. “We were not really thinking the same,” Trump said.
Ironically, Tillerson was an early advocate of making diplomatic overtures to North Korea, prompting Trump to tweet last year, “he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man”. |

But, hey, thanks for thinking about me and my wellbeing on the water. |

This is not a question, it's simply your opinion with a question mark behind it.
There is nothing to reply to.
It's going to blow again today, go do something about it. |
