It’s 2020. Pompeo can “monitor” the now over situation in Iraq from anywhere in the world. If he was in Ukraine he’d be half the distance he is now from Iraq. I suspect recent domestic revelations are the real reason.

LOL but true. They are flailing badly and the excuses keep getting more unbelievable. Typical Trump WH. Pompeo must be relieved he is spared this latest bungle on the world stage. He is such a pathetic excuse for a human being.

That’s it. Keep it upbeat and keep believing we can put down the evil thing in the WH this year.

Taylor already left. They made a point of getting him out before Pompeo was supposed to arrive.

Oddly enough, I got at least one tweet a day from Greta on her sailing journey.

I wouldn’t have spelled it out since Pompeo is a contraction of Pompous Asshole spelled sideways, sort of.
