Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is departing Friday on a 10-day journey that will take him to seven different countries.

Pompeo has not recognized President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as the winners of the 2020 election as President Donald Trump continues to reject the results and push baseless allegations.

The leaders in all of the countries Pompeo is poised to visit have congratulated Biden on his victory in the 2020 election, highlighting the awkward, isolated position the Trump administration is currently in with the president refusing to concede.

Though the president and top Republicans have refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, the world has already begun to move on from the Trump era.

Does pig Pompeo hope they'll intervene?

[woodsprite]

1. I figure he plans on telling them 'how it is' in mob talk. nt

[intrepidity]

2. He'll share a wink and nod with them,

drawing circles in the air next to his ears, and then carry on with business.

[2naSalit]

3. Perhaps they'll have a...

very different kind of reception than he anticipates. Hopefully they'll tell him to that his criminal activities and shove them where the sun don't shine.

Now that he is irrelevant in foreign affairs, they may well tell him to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

15. Somehow I doubt it...

... since the countries are Turkey, Georgia, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and France (well, maybe France would!). More likely, plotting something nefarious that will be bad for Biden, Democrats, & the U.S. I don't trust this guy AT ALL.

16. I've been aware of his slimy tactics...

Since the late 1990s.

4. They could always tell him to f**k off since he has no authority regarding foreign policy...

in 70 days.

[niyad]

5. Perhaps, like the pope, they will all be too busy to see him.

[Hekate]

11. Now that sounds like a plan, in diplomatic-speak

Just because he shows up, doesn’t mean anyone has to roll out the red carpet for him

[Rebl2]

14. We can hope

[panader0]

6. As an SoS, Pompeo is a joke.

What country could take him seriously, even before the election? With a boss like trump,
Pompeo's word and bargaining power was very suspect. Now that trump has lost the election
and many nations have already accepted Biden as the new POTUS, Pompeo will just be a nuisance.
Like when someone comes to your house and you groan, "Oh no, not him again."

7. That stinky Pampero needs changing, it reeks

[Lonestarblue]

8. Pompeo and his wife taking one more luxury vacation on the taxpayer dime.

No country will commit to anything when they know the president and foreign policy will change in 70 days. Why should they even waste their time having discussions with a man whose opinions and policies are now meaningless!

[pfitz59]

17. My thoughts as well

Evil, pompous pricks. He is in no position to negotiate anything. Its a shopping trip for Xmas.

[BlueWavePsych]

9. Awkward.

[NonPC]

10. Vacation But Also House Shopping

He's probably going to ask if they might consider granting political asylum to him in exchange for some of the latest, juiciest classified info. Russia is way too cold for his taste. What else does he have to offer?

[George II]

12. Every time I think I've identified the most despicable person in trump's administration....

....we have a new contender!

[karin_sj]

13. Which of these are not like the others?

I was curious as to which countries he was going to, so I googled it. The countries are: France, Turkey, Georgia, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Interesting that Pompeo is going to these countries that have been reliably pro-Trump or that Trump has conflicts of interests in (except France). Makes you wonder if he included France to throw people off as to what he is plotting with the heads of these other countries. Why is he going to these countries now?

18. Traveling on taxpayer $! Maybe he's interviewing for foreign jobs? Hope they laugh @ his

stupidity & the fact he didn't get the memo...
