Pompeo Refuses To Say Trump Doesn’t Have Power To Delay The Elections

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday did not reject the notion of President Donald Trump somehow going through with his suggestion to delay the 2020 election, even though a president does not have the authority to do so.

Our brave public servants in action. So between Trump, Barr, and Pompeo, we’re tipping the scales at, what, 900 lbs? Hate being catty but meow.

This is the final part of the coup now. Trump was just the greater fool/figurehead. They can’t be seen to be pushing it, but they are lapping up this crap today, believe it.

They lock it in now and theocracy here we come, just like the founding fathers wanted!

Creating anxiety, confusion, and chaos is the point. The election will happen on schedule, but the election, itself, has already become “controversial.”

Although Trump’s fantasy of delaying the election is NOT legal, it is real for Trump and his base to want it AND a clear and present danger to our democracy!

While this tweet to delay the election is:

At best a deflection from the economic forecast and Cain’s Covid demise…

At worst, there is always a possibility that Trump and his Rethugs will try to "delay, distort the result or demonstrate Trump’s “Lawlessness and Disorderliness” ie Trump’s Thugs causing chaos and violence on the street is an example!

So Beware and Be On Alert!

WeWillVote on Nov 3rd!

P.S.

  1. Joe was right!
  1. Hillary was right…
    Trump is Putin’s Puppet!

  2. John Lewis is right too!
    "You can redeem the soul of our nation"

“Senator, in the end, the Department of Justice and others will make that legal determination,” Pompeo said.

Hermann Göring wanna be.

(And given his holier-than-thou shtick, probably right down to the transvestite drug-addict part.).

More like 1,000…

White Collar crooks continue to fool not only humble, poorly-educated people, but those of education, exposure and travel.

What this is telling us is that Pompeo is so completely compromised as a government official to Donald Trump.

Completely.

The slick “I’m not going to get into…” spiel is Deflection 101 (Freshman Year, First Semester). And it fools a great many people in getting them to believe that Pompeo is a “complicated man dealing with complicated matters”…

Instead of a Fat Trump Flunky

what’s pompeo’s opinion have to do with it? I’m not sure why Kaine even asked, other than to put the pompous ass on the spot (which I’m fine with).

Actually , I think Pompeo gave a pretty good response – essentially he said, “Not my Job” – this is preferable to defending the President’s idea or agreeing that it’s possible.

And it keeps Pompeo out of Trouble with Donald.

Trump’s sycophants are all in. The entire GOP. From now until they’re crushed. They need to be put on the record.

So, Barr’s DoJ will decide if Trump can delay the election. Good to know. What could go wrong?
