Is it terrible that I thought "Why is Ellen Pompeo yelling at a reporter?"  I wouldn't have opened the thread otherwise. Not that I watch Grey's Anatomy; I was just curious. My BP can't take reading about the WH thugs and idiots. It really can't. Haha I thought the same thing the first time I opened this. 😁 (I actually wish that’s what this was about). |

I listen briefly to my local talk radio on the way home from work. Trust me, lots of people believe it. It’s incredible. WKBN, the 3:00 show. You cannot believe your ears with some of those folks. WKBN--Youngstown? Oh lord. I grew up near there and I do love Ohio but let's just say Youngstown has never been the brains of the state. If anybody remembers Congressman Jim Traficant, he was Youngstown's beginner version of Trump, right down to the bad hair. One of the many many just overwhelmingly upsetting things about the Trump era is the willful and proud ignorance of so much of the population. Yup, Youngstown has a lot to answer for. 😁 |

I knew he’d come back and accuse her. Typical of this administration.

I can't believe there is a person left in this country, unless their last name is Trump, can defend this administration in any way.

Trump loves this. I'm sure he's slapping a high five at Pompeo. The nastier people are, the more Trump likes them. It's disgusting, but that's what happens when you have a buffoon as President. He hires like-minded people.

And getting their undies all excited about how he's going to bring back the good old days (for white, cis, hetero, rich, Christian, men) by cutting their taxes, cutting their regulations and making the ladies stop having sex except for married missionary while the men get to have paid "massages" on the side. |

Or stand in line for hours for his rallies..... Anyone who knows NJ, knows that the southern tip on the ocean side, Wildwood, has few ways to there. Two highways are under construction because IT IS WINTER and most things are CLOSED. Another highway had a road collapse, sinkhole, the other day. They are shutting all the nearby parking lots. Campaign gave away 100,000 tickets for venue capacity of 7,500 people. They are coming from Florida, all over the place for this mess.............

Seriously? He’s the Sec of State and he only found out about it the same time we at 2PeasRefugees did. I MUST say that we do get info pretty quick here! Someone is almost always here to post!    |

He will deny any of this ever happened. He’ll sully the reputation of a journalist with a stellar record, and Trump’s sycophants will take the word of a serial liar over hers. Yes, he is already denying it.

Bill Kristol.. ”Pompeo is normally pretty controlled and unflappable. Why did he snap? Is he just annoyed he’s stuck at Secretary of State, can’t run for senator from KS? Or is he worried about more stuff that he knows is going to come out?” All they, coupled with being one of those "Christians" who believe women shouldn't ever be in positions of leadership or power. We are supposed to remember that we are to be subordinate to men. |

Did anyone else see Don Lemon on CNN earlier tonight?!?!?! He had me rolling on the floor......... He was interviewing Rick Wilson, I think. Well anyway they were talking about Pompeo's map without written names and that Mary louise Kelly was an expert on Europe/Eastern Europe, Educated at Cambridge and knows the area well. Pompeo made a snide remark without details about finding Bangladesh .. Wilson said........... ' Even if he drew a U and a picture of a crane dt wouldn't be able to find it' Don started laughing and laughing and got me laughing, had trouble stopping. Guess I needed a good laugh! |

Bill Kristol..
”Pompeo’s behavior is one of many testaments to Trump’s remolding of the GOP and much of conservatism. After Trump will the newly dominant modes and orders on the Right persist, with demagoguery expected & bullying applauded? Has American conservatism been irreparably vulgarized?”
Good question.

Good question. YES! And so has American society. I've said this since the beginning. He is not the problem. He is a SYMPTOM of the problem which is a hatred deep in the American psyche for those who aren't white, cis, hetero, wealthy, Christian, and male. If Trump tried to spout his 3rd grade shit on a GOOD America, he would have been shown the door when he made fun of the reporter, or called on Russia to "find" his opponent's emails. Instead his sycophants celebrate every emission from his pie hole w/gusto and can't wait for more. |

I think some of it was always there, he just helped to bring it out into the open. I have a friend who said something to me about someone else, important to her, that I doubt she would have said 5 years ago. In fact, she didn't then! |

“I was waiting for this. Russian Senator says “@secpompeo let it slip ‘do you think Americans care about Ukraine?’ in a radio interview. The Sec of State admitted that for US national interests, Ukraine is of no concern. It is just a fictitious priority of the ruling caste.”
Alexey Pushkov
“Помпео проговорился. «Вы что, считаете, что американцев действительно волнует Украина?»- обрушился он на радиоведущую. Так госсекретарь фактически признал: для национальных интересов США происходящее на Украине не имеет особого значения. Это выдуманный приоритет правящей касты.”

"“Just wanted to touch base that we still intend to keep the interview to Iran tomorrow,” Martin wrote. “Know you just got back from Tehran so we would like to stick to Iran as the topic as opposed to jumping around. Is that something we can agree to?” Kelly responded, “I am indeed just back from Tehran and plan to start there. Also Ukraine. And who knows what the news gods will serve up overnight. I never agree to take anything off the table. Martin replied, “Totally understand you want to ask other topics but just hoping . . . we can stick to that topic for a healthy portion of the interview . . . Wouldn’t want to spend the interview on questions he’s answered many times for the last several months.” Kelly: “My plan is to start with Iran and, yes, to spend a healthy portion of the interview there. Iran has been my focus of late as well. And yes — I also would not want to waste time on questions he’s answered many times in recent months.”” www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/emails-support-npr-host-after-pompeo-calls-her-a-liar-in-setting-up-contentious-interview/2020/01/26/d793cf0e-4071-11ea-b503-2b077c436617_story.html |

I don’t know how much more I can take. Trump is encircled with a giant gaseous cloud of assholes and he is the asshole in the center. What do you want to bet that they quit talking to NPR? They’ll say Fake News when what they mean is Too Smart to Buy Our Bullshit News. Ha! I read today that Trump is questioning the funding for NPR. |

Oh boy, he's in for a RUDE awakening when he finds out that "While NPR does not receive any direct federal funding, it does receive a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce. This funding amounts to approximately 2% of NPR's overall revenues." (according to wikipedia) |

NPR is mostly funded by "listeners like me," according to the spiel on their twice-yearly funding drives. I'm happy to increase my monthly donation to support real journalism. "Defunding" NPR is a political ploy, not something that puts them in danger of closing up shop. |

We learned that when there was a situation and she was able to speak to the perp((?)...Forget the details. |

Catch DT’s remark to Pompeo about how he did a good job on the reporter. What a pig!
He couldn’t even pronounce “Al Aqsa” mosque properly. You would think he would have at least practiced that part of his “vision”.

They'll have long careers commenting on Fox News and OANN. And writing books and hosting right wing radio shows. |
