Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsLouise Mensch tweet about Pompeo
from earlier this morning indicated she was picking up "things" from unspecified sources that Pompeo's appointment might have a very, very short shelf life. Did anyone else see that this morning and is there any other rumor flying elsewhere and what would be the reason? Of course, he's purported to be as bullheaded and undiplomatic in his speech as Shitler, which could definitely cause terminal friction.

(6,568 posts)POS conservative liar is what she is.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Its ok. No one has to like everyone.
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)She lies. Her "sources" are the bullshit she pulls out of her ass.
Also, she's a fucking right wing hack.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)..has been spot on long before our beloved MSM's "selectively reported truths"
Ya know, the MSM that gave us 24/7 Trump.

(6,568 posts)Some of us aren't so blinded by confirmation bias that we can spot a snakeoil salesman out in the open.

(7,638 posts)Now that I have read those obscure reliable sources you posted I totally believe you now.
How can 500 or 1000 people possibly be wrong?
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)While a blog that was just registered in January is not?
The mental gymnastics one must practice to support a LYING RW hack over reputable sources
must be exhausting.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)..editorial opinion says about her.
We know what that's called right?
Oh well, She & the others of 20 Committee, Eric Garland, Tea Pain, etc have been relentless in digging up associations & naming names of those who hold deep global alliances to Putin, Trump & the crime syndicate they belong to.
This group of indy reporters are far more reliable than the sanitized predictable MSM, Sinclair cleaned-up news media shoved at us 24/7.
This group like Mensch, Garland, Pain are more investigaive reporters than anything MSM TV Media has ever been.
I'll stick with these indy reporters long before the conservative liars of MSM.
Hey, when twitter followers are reinforcing what 20 Committee & Mensch say, like Swalwell, Preet, Schiff..then someone here has another agenda, or they really haven't read much of them at all.
THANKS. I'll stick with actual investigating reporters.
I believe I know the REAL reason why some are so slanderous against her.
She spoke the truth about someone & they didn't like it, too much.
Whatever...
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)That's exactly who they were.
I'll stick with 20 Committee, Preet, Sciff..and the many contributors to their ever interesting & most often correct twitter sites.
Great pic of MSM beeelieeevers & the 24/7, year long sales pitch for Putin's right hand man.
Like when posters here linked to Russia Today as a viable news source..well untill they had to register with FARA.
kinda blew their cover of shovelling RU propaganda down our throats as they do.
That pic is spot on for those avowed RTers also.
SEE?
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)Louise Mensch has been right ONCE. Two years ago.
Since then, she has pushed out NOTHING but absolute BULLSHIT. There's a reason the MSM doesn't report on the turds she's pulling out of her ass and flinging all over the internet. Because IT STINKS!
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)The stole her turd and sat there in a race for ratings and said "Exclusive..you smelled it here first!!"
And viewers ate that turd riģht up & said damn that MSM serves up a good turd.
MSM steals other people's turds cuz they're too lazy to scoop up their own.
SEE?
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)Name any other time that LM was right about something.
Pro-tip: you cant. Lying right wing hack (who takes a paycheck from Rupert Murdoch for Heat Street) has been right about one thing, one time, two years ago.
Ill never understand why Democrats would follow an obvious RWer.

Wwcd
(6,288 posts)She's been right on the money many times.
Not my problem if you don't read the work she & 20 Committee have done.
Stay with the vendetta that someone told you to believe.. Or do what it takes & find out for yourself.
I really don't give a sh** .
I''ll follow them all before I give a moment of time to our RW propaganda craphole MSM.
You can do whatever you choose.
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)but Louise Mensch, an actual FUCKING right wing hack who has been on Rupert fucking Murdochs payroll is not?
Bizarro fucking world you live in. Or wait? Do you live on Bullshit Mountain??
The RW hack that youre worshipping has been right ONCE. ONE FUCKING TIME. And you swallow all the gish she can gallop.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Just a hunch...
BYE..'Ignore' feature is really useful
Enjoy your day. This debate is over

She is quite interesting. And she despises Putin & Trump & the GOP that shelters him, which is why she has the following she does.
Enjoy.

Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Putin will not approve of Pompeo as SS.
I wouldn't be surprised if, under Trump, Pompeo is the final Sec of State.
Apparently a lot of people care about what she says.
And she's veen correct more times than wrong, but you'd have to follow her to actually know that.
Understood.
Have a great day!
Texin
(2,600 posts)I have read many and several of her tweets and she's generally been absolutely clear about her contempt for tRump and the rest of the worthless RW rethugs, along with Putin. I know she was a former conservative member of Parliament, but I only started following her on Twitter after the *election* last year. I don't know anything about any comments from her prior to that, but she has been nothing but open about her opposition of tRump and this so-called administration. The level of vitriol within this thread has been surprising to me. I certainly wasn't trying to stir anything up. I was simply wondering if anyone else had read anything being circulated somewhere about the recently confirmed SoS.

Mike Pompeo confirms he was interviewed by Robert Mueller
(As a suspect, btw, in obstruction of justice)
Pompeo, with his rerouting of all RUS related foreign intelligence intercepts to his desk exclusively at @cia , IS the backchannel.

They just get worse & worse & the rot is such an oozing stench already!

(35,454 posts)and his jackassery
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)I believe our country is in a fragile state of affairs right now, as we watch Trump slow-mo his way to streamlining out govt in a most extreme way.
He'll probably just eliminate the Office of Sec of State altogether once Pompeo has made it obviously useless.
Sounds just like how Trump & the Repubs do the 'art of the deal.'
Destroy it then eliminate it, since its purpose is no longer viable.
Me.

(6,288 posts)Frightening thought. If we'd had a glimpse of the Putin, Trump master plan before 2016, we'd have thought they were nuts. "No way, never happen to America!"
Here we are.
MONEY & MEDIA & THE MOB

(3,290 posts)controlled congress is such an abominable pesthole our options are rather limited for getting rid of these scumbags.
On edit for context. Pompeo has been quoted as saying "he will fight till the the rapture".

Putin won't be needing that dept for long.

Pompeo is neck deep in some nasty kind of business.
I'm betting on this being

The details will be interesting, also.
I hope we survive.

(35,454 posts)she was first off the mark with the Steele Dossier
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)That was when I came to respect her & the 20 Committee.
They were months, & sometimes an entire year ahead of the scrubbed MSM.
Ya, I'll stick with those who have proven themselves.

Maybe at worst, it is the death penalty. And if so, then he's standing in a long long line.

I don't know since Mueller's investigation isn't complete.
Point is, neither you nor I can be certain.
bearsfootball516
(6,377 posts)But the chance that it actually occurs is extremely unrealistic. I'll go as far as to say there is a 0 percent chance of it happening.
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)..someday.
We know more now than we did a yr ago.
Bannon's fate may depend on what info he gave, or what he refused to give Mueller.

(9,984 posts)...really, predicting a Trump pick might not last long? Ha-ha... that's like the annual Jean Dixon prediction that Liz Taylor will re-marry (unless she was married, then the prediction was divorce). My crystal ball works, fine, too!

(18,895 posts)A certain blogger posted hearing unspecified rumors from unnamed sources about a certain person's nomination and undetermined actions which may occur soon, or not, based upon the afore mentioned rumors.
And you want to know if anyone can confirm this?

LostinRed
(840 posts)She has zero credibility
Wwcd
(6,288 posts)Hey, even Joy & Malcom quoted a case that was months earlier, reported on Louuse's Patribotics blog.
MSM eventually catches up.
Naysayers don't read Louise so of course they would believe she has zero cred.
Funny thing discovered about those pile on attacks to Louise & 20 Committee early on.
They were traced back to the Ukraine & RU troll & bot attacks that set out to take down & disrupt any anti-Trump messaging.
Many of those accts were outed & removed from Twitter.
For sometime, 20 Committee would screenshot those accts leading back to RU origins.
So believe whomever you want. Like I said, I'll stick with the indys who have the where-with-all to know their enemy & the savy ppl around them who tracked them all the way to their pro-Putin troll & bot farms.
But one would have had to follow these Indy Investigaters to know this.

(42,829 posts)Aren't we getting close to the one year anniversary of "imminent" arrests emanating from the Southern District of New York (or was it the Eastern District of Virginia) in the Russia probe?

(For the record, almost all of the Mueller indictments to date (the first of which was announced in October) have been from the District of Columbia District Court. None have come from the SDNY and the only ones from the ED VA were less than 2 months ago and were "superseding indictments against Manafort and Gates, who previously were indicted in DC).

(279 posts)If you pick a few reasonably likely events and "predict" them, you can gain some marginal credibility.
What do you think goes through the minds of people who make things up for a living? Do you think they grow to believe their own delusions?
