‘Immediate censure’: Mike Pompeo ripped to shreds for remarks on ’smooth transition to second Trump administration’

Published 29 mins ago on November 10, 2020


Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seemingly joked that the post-election transition period would be smooth because President Donald Trump would be re-elected, and many called on the House to censure him.

A reporter asked Pompeo if the State Department was currently engaged with Joe Biden’s transition team, after last week’s election win, and whether any delay would hamper the smooth transition of power.

“There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration,” Pompeo said.


The secretary’s remarks came as the president and his Republican allies challenge Joe Biden’s election win in some states, which is aimed at overturning last week’s results and keeping Trump in office four more years....................................

1. Joe just laughed it off.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. I am not laughing, I want the traitor in prison along with the rest of them

[warmfeet]

34. Change the narrative.

They all get a nice long prison sentence.


Life, no parole.

[NoMoreRepugs]

3. It was no joke - this is a party wide conspiracy to steal an election. Words matter.

[Delphinus]

13. Absolutely.

Words matter.

[Freddie]

4. I'm honestly terrified

By the brewing coup. You know Republicans get away with EVERYTHING. The elections have not been certified yet and who knows what shenanigans they’re up to in the various states. What is our recourse? PA for instance has a R legislature. Talk me down that they can do this to us.

[BootinUp]

5. I'm so tired of these fucks

Grifters, liars, and traitors all.

[mr_lebowski]

6. There will be a smooth transition to FUCKING JAIL FOR TREASONOUS SEDITION

For you, you fucking fuck!!!!!!!!!!

[2naSalit]

8. ...

Fuckin' A right, Ralph! That needs to be their destination, all of them. Pull their passports and have Interpol advisories on them. We need to spiff up GITMO so we can park them all there. They deserve nothing better. They are guilty of many counts of crimes against humanity... like they say, "we have no choice".

[MyOwnPeace]

17. Sorry, can't agree.......

GITMO doesn't need to be "spiffed up" - as it is is what they deserve!

[2naSalit]

18. I was just tryin' ta be nice about it!

But you're absolutely right about that!

[MyOwnPeace]

26. Oh, NOW I get it......

You're probably one of those "bleedin' heart libs" that wants those 666 kids from the border to actually be back with their parents again!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

21. dont spiff up GITMO

Put them in a shit stained cell reeking of piss and puke.

[2naSalit]

25. Yeah...

I was tying to be nice but there is no reason to do anything other than throw away the key once they arrive. I mean, WTF would they have to complain about, they'd be right there on a island in the Caribbean and all so...

[jmowreader]

32. If by "spiff up" you mean "remove the mattresses and chairs...

...and let them sleep on the ground, and find out first-hand why colleges call meals "board"...then yeah, I can go with that

[2naSalit]

36. Now that you mention it...

That's mostly what I had in mind, also reinforcing some of the locks and things, some real back alley operators in the mix.

No offense to other back alley operators.

[jmowreader]

40. I wouldn't bother with reinforcing the locks

My plan was to create two-room suites that have bathrooms, kitchens, a place to sleep, and a little open-air patio so they can go outside and see the sun on occasion...and then, after the inmate is in the suite, weld the door shut.

[2naSalit]

42. That sounds good.

But if they are sedated when placed in their cells, you wouldn't need to remodel anything. I like the weld the door shut part, though.

[warmfeet]

35. Thank you.

I agree.

[BlueIdaho]

7. Next time you hear some piece of shit Republican talk about

Special concessions to accommodate their feelings and their beliefs remember this. They can all just fuck off and die.

[Qutzupalotl]

9. Burn from Mary Louise Kelly:

Might Pompeo point us to a state on the map where there's evidence of widespread voter fraud?

[nykym]

10. We should censure any one of the criminals

when they make these outrageous statement.

[Roy Rolling]

11. If Joe Laughed it Off

It’s because Pompeo is already so fired in his mind he can barely hear him anymore. And I’m sure he’s already made a copy of the State Department keys in anticipation of vandalism, Biden knows his way around politics unlike Trump.

I’m not worried, Joe’s in the House.

[AnnaLee]

12. When did it happen?

At some point in time before the election 50 states coordinated a fraud against Donald Trump which taken as a whole would render the Presidency to Biden, the Senate to no one and the House to the Democratic Party with reduced numbers. How do you coordinate so many disparate governments and election boards in a single fraud, even if it wasn't quite all the 50 states?

[Mr.Bill]

14. The same way you get every nation on Earth

to participate in a pandemic hoax to keep Trump from being re-elected.

[2naSalit]

19. +1

[stevil]

31. Lol

I read the crazy right wing boards and that's not far from the truth.

[JohnnyRingo]

28. Can't they do that with computers?

...or something else republicans don't understand.

Hillary just flipped a switch, and bam! Biden wins.

[Chakaconcarne]

15. They're panicking over what's about to be uncovered once Biden moves in.....

[2naSalit]

23. That's exactly it...

I guess some of them think they can make an escape prior to the exposure of their crimes. Doubt they'll get anywhere. I can see a lot of FBI stationed at airports ready to keep them from leaving the country. There's an entire feast of accountability waiting for them come January.

[rustysgurl]

16. Please don't send him back to KS

Unless he'll be doing time in Leavenworth.

[Rebl2]

20. Yes please send him

to Leavenworth. It’s a perfect place for him along with the rest of this administration including all his adult children minus the one you rarely see. Don’t remember her name.

[jmowreader]

41. Not Leavenworth. Terre Haute

As well as having terrible cabbage rolls...

the Terre Haute Federal Pen offers the federal government's only death row. Being that close to it might wise Trump up some.

Also, the one you're thinking of is Tiffany. She's Marla Maples' kid, and is also the one the "most pro-life president in American history" wanted to abort.

[MyOwnPeace]

22. The thing that bothers me most about this guy.....

he was a graduate of the US Military Academy/West Point.
I've always had great respect for such graduates - people who have served their country in proud and honorable ways - putting honor and love of country above all else.
This guy - I'm wondering who he paid to attend the classes for him.....

[oasis]

44. Pompeo, when a member of Trey Gowdy's witch hunt committee, had

a deep, evil contempt for Hillary Clinton. He pitched a fit after Gowdy folded the marathon hearings. Pompeo and fellow committe member, Jim Jordan, vowed to continue in a quest to find HRC wrongdoing.

He showed no concern about actually serving the people in his district.

[Bengus81]

24. Can't wait to see that POS Pompeo out of a job come January.......

He SUCKED when he was a Rep for Kansas hope I never see that fat asss again. Let see...wasn't he the POS who voted to ease restrictions on coal plants and the mercury they spewed out??

Of course HIM and his family would never be living down wind from one of those fuckers.

[JohnnyRingo]

27. Go sign up for unemployment.

Join the ranks here of people affected by the 1st Trump administration.

[Mc Mike]

29. Fat bircher, repuginazi pig.

[Aussie105]

30. Pompeo has made a smooth transition

into Fairy Land, and lost touch with reality.
Votes don't count, wishful thinking does.

Can't quite wrap his brain around the fact his team lost the election.

[TheCowsCameHome]

33. Perfect fit in Trump's circle of jerks.

[Linda Ed]

37. Charge him with sedition:

Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it.

[MyOwnPeace]

39. He "may" have heard of that charge......

in one of his classes at West Point - if he actually attended any........

[mdbl]

38. Pompeo is a total asshole

never fails to disappoint

[Blue Owl]
