“To our friends around the world: you know that President Trump’s America is a force for good in the world,” he added.

They know … and that’s why this reminder is needed?

Pompeo has to get out in front of kissing the boss’s ass now that some of things he said behind Trump’s back are public.

Mike is just pissed at Bolton for saying in public what everyone already says in private.

“I’ve not read the book,

Just like his boss.

but from the excerpts I’ve seen published, John Bolton Donald Trump’s is spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods,”

Just like his boss.

Pompeo said in a statement. “It is both sad and dangerous that John Bolton Donald Trump’s final public role is that of a traitor who damaged America by violating his sacred trust with its people.”

Just like his boss.

Shall we talk of broken sacred trusts Pompeo?
How about pandemic response teams getting fired by your boss. Even the one in Wuhan.
And then there are murder wasps I hear.

“I’ve not read the book, but from the excerpts I’ve seen published, John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods,”

the secretary of state slipped Bolton a note saying Trump “is so full of shit.”

Half, full, slipped, spreading, shit…sounds like everyone’s getting caught up in the shit stain.

It’s like watching a bunch of monkeys fling shit at each other. Entertaining, but also horrifying, and you don’t want to get too close. Eventually someone comes by and hoses them all down, until they start up again. That’s today’s GOP for you, a bunch of shit-flinging monkeys.

Shouldn’t Pompeo be spending his time selling weapons systems to the Saudis or something.

It’s projection all the time with these people, Pompeo and his boss too.

But it sure does simplify interpretation: every accusation is a confession, every assertion an admission.

OMG. That’s hilarious. President Trump’s America is a swamp-filled playground of ignorant grifters, con artists, religious hypocrites, racists and bad-doers. Everyone for himself, and the world be damned.

Pompeo is right there at the top or bottom as one of the worst offenders.
