I might cross-post this one a few times today - Rev Jeff Black knocks it out of the park again with an excellent multi-tweet thread:
and HoarseWisperer on NPD and the cycles of destruction. fast/good read.
Dear Rex,
The working title for your memoir will be “The 14 Months I Spent Working for a Fucking Moron”
Sincerely,
Your Editor
Been completely swamped at work the past couple days and come back to this fucking shit. Jebus Donald always exceeds my worst expectations! And my expectations are pretty low.
Pompeo is the errand boy for the Kochs, who have babied him for some 30 years now and paid his way. Pompeo was also a congress man from Kansas, again, all you need to know about what a sold-out coward this stinking hole of a non-human is:
https://www.thenation.com/article/the-koch-brothers-get-their-very-own-secretary-of-state/.
My recent observation on Pompeo was noticing that his speech and physicality resembles that of Chris Christie. How did a guy born in CA sound like Jersey?
Which brings us all back to the question of why, exactly, did Donald Trump choose Rex Tillerson over Mitt Romney for Secretary of State? Who could have thought Tillerson was a great brilliant choice? And why, exactly, did Donald Trump decide to fire Tillerson Monday night? Inquiring minds want to know, and citizens.
“Iran, Here We Come !”
My Readers Digest version: We’ve torn down State, now it’s time to set the wreckage on fire!
Right. Do you suppose Pompeo understands that Everything Trump Touches Dies? Because most of the rest of us already know how this story ends.
Honestly, what headline writer prepared this one? A comment that Trump has “the confidence” of anyone is a ridiculous concept. Call The Mooch, call Kelly, call any of the many, many fools who believed in Trump’s “confidence” only makes Trump a confidence man
“Entering State Department With Trump Confidence”
That will last 6 months
“his conservative political bent and closeness to President Donald Trump could breathe new vigor into an agency all too often sidelined on many of the nation’s most pressing national security matters.”
by breathing new vigor, AP means that competent employees will be vigorously running for the exits.
Forget it, jake, It’s an AP story.
I at a loss as to why people think that this guy’s love of Trump will make him a good Sec. of State. He’s a radical partisan and religious zealot. It didn’t take him long to become a divisive figure at the CIA and he’ll do the same at State. I can’t see the upside un-unchecking Trump on foreign policy. The Iran deal will be scuttled just because it’s the product of a Democrat and Muslims are involved putting us back to square one on that issue. A religious fanatic craving the “End Times” will be in charge of Israel policy and there’s just no way to see good in that.
What is the upside in appointing a career partisan, sycophant, and man that puts the Bible above the Constitution in such a lofty position? I’ll bet he trashes the joint.
Seems like only yesterday when The Donald and Vlad expressed total confidence in X Rex:
“And my expectations are pretty low.”
do the limbo? the trump expectations blues? even some gops are doing them. i like flake’s version best.
