Hey, Chris here — did you know who Mike Pompeo was before this week?
@Chadillac
I work hard at finding the truth, something you Trumpers care nothing about. Here, read for yourself.

And I can keep going if you want.
CNN bi#ching about it ain’t gonna give y’all justice 😔#peacefulprotest ✊🧐
I first noticed Pompeo when he “ran” the CIA out of the White House (spending more hours a day at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave than at CIA Hdq. I watched 3 of his 5 identical Sunday performances in which he (1) spewed the same memorized spiel, (2) refused to answer all the same questions, and (3) not only failed to convince me of anything, but also appeared unconvinced himself. This is success?
Pup Pup Man
Imagine being so stupid you can’t tell the difference between news and a political discussion video.
You don’t need to imagine – just go look in a mirror.
Pompeo? Isn’t that the guy who believes it’s his mission to get all the Jews back to Israel so that the world will end?
Because he’s Popeye’s big brother
Lie Lie and Lie Some more
Mantra of All Republicans….😂☝
How many genders are there?
Yes cause never mind ‘like your plan keep your plan,’ ‘my server did not have any classified emails on it,’ ‘Benghazi is the result of a YouTube video,’ ‘Iran is now governed by moderate leaders,’ etc etc etc , huh dippy?
As the preview image of the video shows – his success is tied to his ability to ‘blend in’
it’s sure as hell not his compelling on-camera presence.
Pompous Pompeo is a obvious liar who never answers questions.
@Wheatie Sweetie name one lie.

Pompeo has the most compelling portrayal of a Komodo Dragon I have ever seen.
Don’t you believe he would eat his own offspring?
@ruth depew I spent several days on Komodo Island some years ago, which I documented in my book, Lost Latitudes. Dragons will eat their own young if food is scarce, but none of them are as ugly as Pompeo.
Pompeo – Satan’s little helper.
Democrats and fake news = Iran’s big helpers
