U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told a Christian broadcast network that it’s “possible” that President Donald Trump is like ~~Queen~~ Aunt Esther, who ~~saved Jews in the Old Testament~~ bitched and moaned all the time.

FIFY!

I was wondering when Pompeo was going to end the charade since he took over State that he could impersonate an adult…

This is gobsmackingly, thunderstrikingly stupid. I can’t. I just can’t. I’ve gotta take a walk.

What’s the over-under for the number of fish eyed fools in the Cabinet?

JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told a Christian
broadcast network that it’s “possible” that President Donald Trump is
like Queen Esther, who saved Jews in the Old Testament.
…
That is sickening.

This Jew says, “go fuck yourself”.

Is there anyone in the Traitor-in-Chief’s maladministration who is NOT a fucking asshole?

[No need to tell me the answer, I already know it.]

The State Department allowed only "faith-based media” on a briefing call on international religious freedom held by Secretary of State

and the list of what is and what isn’t faith-based - - - and which ‘faiths’ are recognized as legitimate - - ???
WHO (with even just the basics of understanding of the foundation of this nation) would think that this is at all acceptable?

It’s the orangy hair.

More like Haman

valgalky23 · March 22, 2019, 4:48pm

WTF is up with Pompeo?

castor_troy · March 22, 2019, 4:48pm

Proof right there that none of those people are actually religious, or there would be smoke rising from their fingers on touching that particular gateway to Hades.

Well, they ARE both depicted as blonds… whether or not that’s true IRL. Just sayin’…

Pompeo, Pompeo, Pompeo, get a grip. Trump is clearly THIS Biblical figure – you can tell, cause Melania is in the picture with him.

Bow before the Golden Calf!

Fun food for thought-- How is this comment not antisemitic?

Seems like appropriating another religion’s cultural history to forward a political agenda is kinda the definition of an attack on the religion…

Churchill was wrong in his timing. We are now sinking into the abyss of a new dark age.

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.

I can at least agree that tRump is a thing from the old testament. He also had a cameo role in the Odyssey.

steviedee111 · March 22, 2019, 4:51pm

I will not eat green eggs and Haman!!

ralph_vonholst · March 22, 2019, 4:52pm

Nothing. Nobody cared or much reported what he said before because he was only a backbencher from a failing state.
