Pompeo might as well just state that he has a thousand lies available and if none of them work, he can come up with a thousand more. It won’t cost him any support at all in the facsistgop.

As predicted - every little crumb of benefit gained by social distancing and other measures will be used to prove that the threat wasn’t real.

You apparently don’t get your ethics guidance from the West Point Honor Code, your oath of office, or any semblance of personal or faith-based morality either. Where do you you get your ethics guidance from, Mike?

Linick was abruptly fired by President Donald Trump Friday night, on Pompeo’s recommendation. “Frankly, I should have done it a long time ago,” Pompeo said Wednesday, though he declined to give any specific reasons for Linick’s ouster.
