Immediate censure: Mike Pompeo ripped to shreds for remarks on smooth transition to second Trump administration
Published 29 mins ago on November 10, 2020
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seemingly joked that the post-election transition period would be smooth because President Donald Trump would be re-elected, and many called on the House to censure him.
A reporter asked Pompeo if the State Department was currently engaged with Joe Bidens transition team, after last weeks election win, and whether any delay would hamper the smooth transition of power.
There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration, Pompeo said.
The secretarys remarks came as the president and his Republican allies challenge Joe Bidens election win in some states, which is aimed at overturning last weeks results and keeping Trump in office four more years....................................

(9,259 posts)By the brewing coup. You know Republicans get away with EVERYTHING. The elections have not been certified yet and who knows what shenanigans theyre up to in the various states. What is our recourse? PA for instance has a R legislature. Talk me down that they can do this to us.

Fuckin' A right, Ralph! That needs to be their destination, all of them. Pull their passports and have Interpol advisories on them. We need to spiff up GITMO so we can park them all there. They deserve nothing better. They are guilty of many counts of crimes against humanity... like they say, "we have no choice".

(86,524 posts)That's mostly what I had in mind, also reinforcing some of the locks and things, some real back alley operators in the mix.
No offense to other back alley operators.

(50,552 posts)My plan was to create two-room suites that have bathrooms, kitchens, a place to sleep, and a little open-air patio so they can go outside and see the sun on occasion...and then, after the inmate is in the suite, weld the door shut.

Might Pompeo point us to a state on the map where there's evidence of widespread voter fraud?

Roy Rolling
(6,911 posts)Its because Pompeo is already so fired in his mind he can barely hear him anymore. And Im sure hes already made a copy of the State Department keys in anticipation of vandalism, Biden knows his way around politics unlike Trump.
Im not worried, Joes in the House.
AnnaLee
(1,035 posts)At some point in time before the election 50 states coordinated a fraud against Donald Trump which taken as a whole would render the Presidency to Biden, the Senate to no one and the House to the Democratic Party with reduced numbers. How do you coordinate so many disparate governments and election boards in a single fraud, even if it wasn't quite all the 50 states?

I read the crazy right wing boards and that's not far from the truth.

(86,524 posts)I guess some of them think they can make an escape prior to the exposure of their crimes. Doubt they'll get anywhere. I can see a lot of FBI stationed at airports ready to keep them from leaving the country. There's an entire feast of accountability waiting for them come January.

the Terre Haute Federal Pen offers the federal government's only death row. Being that close to it might wise Trump up some.
Also, the one you're thinking of is Tiffany. She's Marla Maples' kid, and is also the one the "most pro-life president in American history" wanted to abort.

I've always had great respect for such graduates - people who have served their country in proud and honorable ways - putting honor and love of country above all else.
This guy - I'm wondering who he paid to attend the classes for him.....

(49,370 posts)a deep, evil contempt for Hillary Clinton. He pitched a fit after Gowdy folded the marathon hearings. Pompeo and fellow committe member, Jim Jordan, vowed to continue in a quest to find HRC wrongdoing.
He showed no concern about actually serving the people in his district.
