WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says a State Department official has died from the coronavirus, the first American fatality among the U.S. diplomatic corps from the pandemic.
Welp, charming how no name, no assignment, no thanks for his/her service, no nod to the sorrow of their family/friends/coworkers. Jeez, I hate this pompous ass.
Yeah, what’s up with that? No “out of respect to their family we are not disclosing the name?” More like an intentional omission, presumably because the point of this announcement was “See, we’re reducing our payroll!”
There’s some glimmer of hope out there: Liberty University, many evangelical churches, thousands of right-wingers, hordes of conservatives across the country continue to gather in large groups in order to “own the libs”. Huzzah!
