At this point then I think Kelly should demand an apology (and retraction) of Pompeo’s insinuation that she couldn’t distinguish between Ukraine and Bangladesh on the map and that she lied about the interview.

And if he doesn’t, then hit him with a libel suit.

In reply to Tacitus.

My guess is that the clowns in this administration are used to dealing with Yes People; sheeple who have learned to play dumb and kow-tow to their masters’ wishes. Or, they really may be that stupid. After all, lack of integrity and intelligence is a requirement for working for tRump and Co.

But to try to humiliate Mary Louise Kelly? Geezuz, Mikey, you’re in over your head… She’s far smarter than you!

Kelly was graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1993, with degrees in Government and French Literature. As a senior editor at The Harvard Crimson, she covered the 1992 Presidential election, including Bill Clinton’s inauguration. In 1995 she completed her masters in European Studies at Cambridge University (Emmanuel College) in England.

tRump and Co. have turned this into a fight for NPR’s funding.

Conservatives have hated NPR since the beginning. This is just another opportunity to kill an independent voice of reason, a voice they don’t control. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7a4305bcade4dc5997c844c10362d9c3798c1cf02f67faee7ff708c286116e4e.jpg

And Mike Pompous projects: “It is no wonder that the American people distrust many in the media when they so consistently demonstrate their agenda and their absence of integrity.”

There was a movie about the Vesuvius eruption called, “Last Days Of Pompeii”- hopefully, we are witnessing the “Last Days Of Pompeo” as the Secretary of State. And when January 2021 roll around- these blights upon our democracy will have to pack up and leave. I wonder what the Lance Wallnau/Jim Bakker challenge coin of Trump and Cyrus the Great will be worth after trump loses? Right now it sells for 45 dollars- and folks are encouraged to pray over it to insure the reelection of “Orange is the New Prez”.

Insinuating the reporter mistook Bangladesh for Ukraine is just stupid level lying. I mean, he could have at least picked another landlocked country from the same part of the world — Belarus is probably the only one that’s remotely plausible, since it’s just to the north.

Hugh Laurie (House) was on Graham Norton last night to promote his new show Avenue 5 where he plays a the captain of a deep space cruise ship that veers off course stranding the passengers, except he’s not really the captain — he’s just an actor employed to project confidence, and doesn’t know the first thing about how to run the ship.

Laurie likened his role to what’s happening in the US and UK today (and elsewhere) — that it’s become more important to have leaders who project confidence rather than have competence in the job. A very astute comment.

Trump has made it very clear that the only people left in his administration are those that are loyal to him personally. Not to the US or to the staff they are supposed to be managing.

Further, Pompeo should be careful what he says about this interview, since he could be sued if he misrepresents what happened.

In reply to Kinping Tse. No way he didn't know, at the very least. He should be tossed out anyway. Who at State could possibly trust him to protect the country? He won't even protect his own people.

I only hope that he didn’t actively participate in the smear campaign and the plot to investigate Bidens. These days I have very little confidence on these Christian leaders.
