What in the world ever gave you the idea that Pompeo can be embarrassed? This was probably at his suggestion.

The lackeys that are currently at the state dept more than likely know far less about foreign affairs & policies than the ones that left. Biden probably is more informed than tRump and his lapdog Pompeo.

I’m pretty sure I am more informed than Trump.

State Department under Pompeo is more like County Department. Probably Hazzard.

I assume we can look forward to Lindsay Graham leading hearings into the Biden’s team insecure communications with foreign dignitaries during the transition.

Of which there will be many allegations, and zero evidence, if these people keep to form.

Encryption technology has been around for decades. I have no doubt Biden has access. A quick look at Google suggests I could buy a secure phone for just a few hundred dollars.

Yeah, that secured room will look something like this:

Yeah … so there are virtually no encumbrances to direct communication of general information with Senator Harris … her formally becoming Vice-President Elect … does not reduce her clearance level…

Trump & his sycophants are hung up on the symbolism of simply delivering a document addressed to “President-Elect” Biden

Amazing lack of grace.

Once was lost and still is lost.

Best choice for the future of US national security and the well-being of all American citizens: Give the messages to Biden.

Best choice for soothing the infantile narcissist’s damaged ego and validating his jealous rage: Don’t give the messages to Biden.

Good choice, Mike!

We learn that Bezos uses or was using Instagram for his “secure” communications.

Which MBS used to send him malware to hack his phone.

Meanwhile Trump’s Twitter account had (a) an obvious password and (b) no 2FA. JFC.

I get really confused when Pompeo and Boss Hogge are in the room together. I can’t tell them apart.

I’m thinking that every story, maybe every headline, needs to start with “Crybaby Trump.” And media just needs to STOP refering to him as “The President”. Phase back to “Mister Trump.” Stop fluffing that loser.

Some things aren’t about whether are not the person has the sense to be embarrassed for themselves, the ways in which they’ve beclowned themselves are embarrassing all the same.

Trump wouldn’t recognize Grace if she wound up and hit him in the face with a brick.

Exactly! Put Pompeo in a white suit and hat, and this would all make much more sense for everyone.

Random trivia: I met the very gentlemanly Sorrell Booke when I was a kid, and he hated – I mean really, really hated – that his career had taken off via playing Boss Hogg.

Come on, that’s easy.

Boss Hogg is by far the better public servant.

Does this make Pompeo a “gimbus”?
