Trump picks ExxonMobil CEO Tillerson as choice for secretary of state

[MarkPerry 488]

I did just that and found nothing but ridiculous insinuations from the right wing echo chamber, most seemed to be from the chest thumping alpha males like yourself. One thing about alpha males, they are usually very easily outwitted which is why they are always looking for a physical or violent way out of a situation. Logic and common sense often escape alpha males.

Actually a alpha male is usually very successful in business and in life, they not only have the brawn they have the brain. They are a double team and if you study great leaders in history, they are combo of both.

I suspect you are not a Alpha Male. I am leader, but for sure we need followers.......

Some yes, but it's a case by case basis as you've shown here.

Today's alpha male is a male that thinks he is an alpha and tries far too hard to brag and fight his way through life. Usually overcompensating, which is a shame, because if they could put their minds to it they could actually contribute something of substance to society.

I've known far too many of those types and seen them fail, and then spend hours crying about what went wrong and how much the world hates their brilliance. The ego does bruise very easily, and it's tiring always having to handle them with 'kid gloves'. When Trump fails you can indeed expect that petulant behavior. We should never confuse an 'alpha male' with a Real Man™. The alpha is just a leftover thing from the Yuppie days.

I've seen some alpha males that were/are smart enough to make something of themselves, but there is a cap on their success because they are limited intellectually. The vast majority of successful males in any business gain their success with intellectual prowess. Alpha males are far too emotional and allow that emotion to control their thought process.

You are correct that in most real life scenarios the alpha male is a thing of the past, some of them just didn't get the memo.

I doubt they are happy, They were probably much happier having a John Kerry or a Hillary Clinton whom they basically told her to she was an idiot. While under the Obama term the Russians were seem as scary and Obama was scared to deal with him, He just wasn't man enough.

Now we have a new Sheriff in town and things are changing, You have a Trump and his cabinets ready to make the rest of the world respect the USA again.

If any of that was true, the Russians wouldn't have been working overtime to get Trump elected now, would they?

I concur with everything you said.

Lots and lots of compensating going on with chest beating so called alpha male attitudes.

Brawn versus brain never stays at the top long. Literally and in every which way.

We can see that toxic alpha male worship lacks intellect and the hurt little feelings (daily whining tweets)

of someone like Trump aren't even acknowledged by those who adore him as alpha male.

These traits are useful in a jungle when you are a baboon but in 2016 it simply takes more.

His picks are out of this world and I don't mean that in a good way.

The return of the cavemen would be a good movie title if there ever will be a comedy made of this current political fiasco.

Obama took a real hardline stance when dealing with Russia.

Well that certainly proved a lot.

It proves you have your head in the sand if you think Obama was playing hardball with Russia.

I think somewhere along the line you lost track of what was being discussed. Perhaps a reread of the thread is in order?

How about we pretend my post was a rsponse to what you posted in post #8 when this thread became about Obama being a weak little girl.

Should I find another news site showing the same thing for you?
