Pompeo the Confused Man
Well, now we know there was more than we suspected that nasty ole Steve Linick, the inspector general, was messin’ his nose around that caused him to get fired.
First, “The now-fired State Department inspector general had recently wrapped up an investigation into two other top aides to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, determining that they had likely failed to report allegations of workplace violence.”
Yeah, workplace violence. Let’s keep that quiet.
Now add to that, the Madison Dinners using taxpayers money to promote a political career for Pompeo, using his government paid staff to run personal errands, and by the way, an $8 billion arms sale to the Saudis. You know, not that we’re counting or anything.
Last night, Ole Bubba was shaking his head and said, “Those sumbitches think they can get around everything and the damnedest part of that is that they can.”
I kinda feel the same way sometime.
Pompeo’s former chief of Protocol apparently walked around his office with a whip. No kidding- like a slave driver.
They’re all sick and deranged.
1The road to hell is paved with good intentions… and IG’s jobs.

Edit: Steve Linick, former inspector general for the U.S. State Department, isn’t the only watchdog who has been fired or demoted by President Donald Trump recently: Trump has also fired the U.S. Department of Transportation’s watchdog, Mitch Behm, who had been investigating Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

2I’m always astonished that people like Pompeo have the grand illusion that they should be president. He’s a really unattractive candidate (at least, to me) due to his sky-high regard for himself and his lack of ethics and morals. He’s been taking the people of Kansas, not to mention the U.S. taxpayers, for quite a ride. Can’t wait for him to be thrown out on his behind! Just say “NO!” to him as a senate candidate too, please, Kansans.
3I only hope someone is running a tab on these ‘morbidly obese’ Capones. They’re draining more tax money than Nestle’s does tap water.
4My prediction for 2021:
A whole lot of people will have glowing resumes. The primary qualification listed will be, “Reason for leaving: Termination of employment by Donald J. Trump.”
Yeah, EVERYONE will want to hire people who are extremely competent and of upstanding character.
5Kirstjen Nielsen remains unemployed.
Some institutions of higher learning are going to have some erosion of reputation, too, like West Point and Wharton.
6For those who may not be aware, Elaine Chao is Mrs. Moscow Mitch. Which had nothing to do with the huge DOT grant to Boone County, Kentucky. I’m sure.
The Trump (extended) Crime Family is why we need inspectors general.
7Pompeo and Trump. Brothers from another mother. Two of a kind when it comes to being Kings of Entitlement. Those who crave the crown forget that even kings can lose their heads like Charles I in England and Louis 16th in France. Gosh! Self selected amnesia is such fun for this kind of organism.
