Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is over their NYE hangover and ready to enjoy the weekend.
Look at this idiot.

This is my Rep and he’s awesome. So sad for him and his family.

This is why we can’t have nice things. I know we talked about this yesterday, but I’m still mad!

…speaking of that pompeo “swagger” tweet…people are looking, for sure
…since that preview doesn’t actually include the bit that I thought made it worth adding…here it is:
I guess right wingers even have their own dictionary which makes perfect sense. Makes it much easier for them to live in their separate reality. I bet it defines the word “savior” as “Donald J Trump”.
…sounds disturbingly plausible…my guess is it also defines “dizzying intellect” as “constant use of circular logic”
…that way it makes sense that donnie is a stable genius spinning tops only tip over when they slow down, after all
Clearly. In fact, which I know means nothing to Republican assholes, “humility” and “pride” mean exactly the opposite thing. I hate it when they make up their own shit like reality doesn’t exist.

A while back the conservatives got mad at wikipedia being too liberal, and tried to make their own:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia
It’s really too bad that reality has a liberal bias.
More than one of them!😉😂🤣;

Ah yes, Conservapedia: the Dinotopia of online references.
Whoops. I meant the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum.
Makes sense that they’d want their own dictionary, tbh.
Wikipedia ends up “slanting so far left” that they just had to start their own versions….
So it kiiiinda makes sense, that they’d need to have their *own* dictionary definitions–otherwise their online encyclopedias may end up with that same “librul bias!!!” eventually, too.🤔🤔🤔
He’s so horrible. Director of the CIA was bad enough, that takes some deftness and caution. Being the Secretary of State means, literally, being clever and diplomatic on a world stage, not swaggering/blundering. I’m not really sure what SoS’s Kerry and Clinton did (well, bENgHaZI!!!!) but they probably didn’t have to do much: Having Obama as President was enough to inspire the admiration and support of many nations around the globe. Kissinger, one of the most gifted SoS (and noted war criminal) conducted what was known as “shuttle diplomacy” because he was always jetting off hither and yon to meddle in other countries’ affairs to advance American interests. But he did it skillfully, if somewhat shadily, and he certainly would never have deployed the term “swagger” to describe the way he operated.
HRC was/is rather well-liked and admired outside the US, building on her time as First Lady. I think she had the role of “top diplomat” down pat and it was as much about her popularity as it was about Obama’s.
Pompeo is the kind of doofus that we’ve all seen at work: blowhard, parroting Fox News talking points like scripture, thinks he’s right because he “wants it more”, everything is justified because see above.
They usually end up at 55 excelling in the bloodsport of counter sales at a Batteries+, after getting fired for some fraudulent shit that got their last employer sued.
Funny you should mention 55. I googled Pompeo to fact check myself about my comment. He just turned 57 (on December 30th.)
“the bloodsport of counter sales at a Batteries+”
I applaud your turn of phrase. Well done.
This is not a good sign…
