It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
Okay, I’m fixing to scare the ever-lovin’ poop outta you because I don’t want to be the only person around here scared
poopless.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo abruptly canceled a scheduled trip to Germany, where he was planning to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel “due to pressing issues,” the State Department said early Tuesday.
No specific reason was given for the cancellation. The press pool traveling with Pompeo has not been told where they are going next, and have been warned they may not be able to report from the country they are going to until after their departure.
Now, when you have a Secretary of State you wouldn’t trust to oversee high school wrestling match say there’s something “pressing” but he won’t tell you what or where, you would really like to know if you’re in the fallout zone of where this secret place is. This guy is CIA and a Trump lover.
Here we’ve got a guy who wants to start a war in Iran, Venezuela, and probably the House of Commons.
God love the press pool. I know I am not getting on an airplane with Mike Pompeo not knowing where I am going or even if I have a return ticket.
I think he’s also a Dominionist, working for the end times. I wouldn’t get on HIS airplane unless drugged. He ain’t waiting for the Rapture, he’s looking to create it. Man just creeps me out something awful.
1Iran and/or Venezuela, we’re going to be in a nice little ‘patriotic’ diversionary war within a couple of months.
Bolton and the xchristofascists just want it. The rest of the RAT45 regime apparatus are getting desperate for a major distraction from all the heat.
Once it starts all those investigations and talk of impeachment become very ‘unpatriotic’ and una’Murikkkan. Corruption, conspiracy, grift, whatever, all reduced to insignificance.
The easily fooled howling masses will blindly scoot into the woods chasing the Fox.
The price of oil skyrockets.
We’ve seen the prequel of this movie before. This will be the blockbuster. Putin wants it so, he just whispered for 90 minutes into his puppet’s ear (the guy behind SOBOTUS’ curtain, and Russia needs the oil exports).
2I would feel better if he were on one of those Super Max planes.
3I am guessing that venezuela will be the next target for our cut rate merc’s pretending to be a legitimate military.
4Iran and venezuela both have oil so that box is checked.
A socialist government or a theocratic islamic state both are “evil” according to pinheads ( I will give you that ANY theocratic state is evil not just an islamic one. And it is the delusion that offends the orange gibbon) So that is checked off.
Venezuela is closer with less logistics costs so that is in its favor.
They have an identified 5th column in venezuela that they do not have in Iran.
So yeah venezuela as next attention distraction.
Boy want to see S., and central, America go up in flame an invasion of venezuel would do it.
US loving puppy’s like bolsonaro in brasil might get caught in the backlash as people go to the streets against renewed US imperialism and colonization efforts.
Over dinner just now my husband told me that this was at the top of the evening news here in Germany. Of course, the Germans just see Spankee as a crude boorish ignorant clown, but hope his Defense Secy is not out trying to stir up some dangerous Wag The Dog action to distract people in the US from the (p)resident’s crimes.
Dog save us all.

Super max is built at non union plant in one of the traitor states. Plant built there specificatly as an anti-union effort.
6Gee amazing try building a complicated machine in a non union factory in a state that ranks near the bottom in education and surprise surprise they start falling out of the sky.
Gee I hope boeing saved enough from non union workforce to pay for their bankruptcy resulting from liability for using cut rate scabs to save a few penny’s at the cost of a few hundred lives.
K, perhaps your description of where and how the Super Max is built was Linda’s point.
7By the way, if you are writing about more than one penny, the word is “pennies”.
K @ 4,
One these days the US may get its ass kicked by a country or two that is fed up with the bullying and interference in their government affairs.
Linda @ 3,
kamikaze pilot maybe?
8When you send a Republican to an undisclosed location, no good can come of it.
9Rick – I have a few Republicans I’d like to send to an undisclosed location !
10It’s OK he just stopped over in Baghdad to alert them not to worry about all the noise next door. Just some remodeling work.
11As per #11, he ended up in Iraq.
Right after IQ45 pardoned a former U.S.soldier who was convicted of murdering an Iraqi… ^

12Out in the real world, over a million species are in imminent danger of extinction, according to a multinational UN panel of scientists. That already scares the poop out of me, and I can’t get significantly more scared. And when you consider that this list includes species that pollinate your food plants, eat your disease-carrying insects, clean your water, and reduce your hurricane damage, you can be scared poopless too, and I hope you are.
A crucial ingredient in fighting childhood leukemia comes from the Madagascar rosy periwinkle, which damn near went extinct before somebody found that out. How many more are out there, being wiped out?
13By “real world,” I mean the one that’s going to matter in 500 and 5000 and 50,000 years. That’s the one we’re f***ing up.
14@Rhea #13 & 14,
Last night my wire and I watched the premier of HBO’s Chernobyl mini-series. It was a reminder of the wildly devastating effect willful ignorance can have when utilized on the most powerful and technologically complex forces known to humans. Like the U.S. government…
15Can’t help that whenever I see a photo of Pompeo I automatically recall the old movie “Dr. Strangelove”. He is just that unreal.
16He’s 55 and from his looks shares his boss’ love of cheeseburgers. God is he a smirking ass. His name fits him, pompous as Hell.
