Mike Pompeo has a temper.
I assume you mean this:
And then he asked her to locate Ukraine on a blank map:
Because thatās the world we live in now.
Nothing new for women, since we get shit on all the time. She really should just suck that shit up, like a well behaved womanā¦
I have to wonder about people who get into politics, into public service: did they think no one was going to ask them questions? If youāre a cabinet secretary, thatās your job. You are the public face for the thousands of people who do the actual work of the agency.
If Pompeo doesnāt like answering questions, heās of no use and should quit.
Iāve always liked Mary Louise Kelly and Audie Cornish. They are tough journalists and donāt get nearly the recognition or pay as the talking heads at outlets like CNN, but they are twice or more the journalists.
Some men just get pissed when questioned by women. Heād have been much more polite if a dude had questioned him, Iām guessing.
Or he would have seen it as a territorial challenge and made a threat display./s
I think he did, shouting and making her point out Ukraine on a mapā¦
Good point. Marking his territory in the traditional fashion.
Think of how much stress that guy must be under. All the books say that the White House is Anxiety Central. His ulcers have ulcers.
Unfuck him, and everyone else who has enabled this shitshow on steroids.
Heās effectively the administrationās link to the Kochs. Has been for years. Somebody should have dropped a bomb on their bunker decades ago.
Yes, this. Mean scary guy. To me, this puts him in the same category as Weinstein, Trump looming behind Hillary, Bill OāReilly, Dr. Phil and a long line of others projecting an affect of barely-restrained violence, possibly specifically toward women.
I wonder if Kelly and Margaret Brennan of Face the Nation are sharing stories, because Pompeoās been showing signs of this on her show.
Not that there were any doubts, of course. I have listened to Mary Louise Kelly for years, just cannot imagine someone treating her like that. But she is a woman and he is a misogynistic asshole, so there is thatā¦
I bet heās on the maximum dose of statins.
I see what you did there!
What I donāt get is why this happened at all. Why he assumed a question about Ukraine wouldnāt come up, especially during this week, and why he didnāt have an answer prepared. Just another example of what amateurs these guys really are.
Yes. And also, what assholes. He could have just refused to discuss it, ended the interview, and that was the end of it. Happens all the time when reporters do their jobs and ask hard questions of political figures. Instead he did what was clearly intended to be embarrassing and threatening to Kelly. Because not only did she āembarrassā him, she did so while being a woman, who clearly is smarter than he is. That canāt stand in the Trumpian mindset. They are both authoritarian and deeply misogynistic, always a dangerous combo.
Wow. Released her private records and outed a 15 year old girl - and the American Conservative went after a 15 year old girl and published her pictures and outed her in national media.
They deserve to be bankrupted and be looked at for child endangerment.
