Pompeo voices confidence for 'second Trump administration;' then softens tone on transition

Fat Mike makes his first play for the 2024 nomination.

Pompeo's denial of the MSM's narrative is excellent.

The scent of Democratic blood gets stronger. Their attempted electoral fraud and coup is unraveling, and the panic is now palpable.

"That's why Mike was number one in his class at West Point!" referring to the U.S. Military Academy.

Can we reevaluate his grades!!!

But hours after withering criticism over his comments, Pompeo, a close ally and appointee of Trump, in a Fox News interview appeared to soften his tone.

Not surprising, it takes courage to walk your talk and this spineless liar doesn’t have it in him!!!!

So much unnecessary drama... but what can one expect from a self-loathing loser? Even with its foibles, the USA, its institutions, and its constitution will survive Trump and his Putin-worshipping ilk. It will be an ugly time of wallowing and empty litigations, but unlike most wannabe dictators, most judges, even conservative ones, respect the USA and the constitution. Embarrassing for the Americans to suffer such a public flame-out... but, unfortunately for Trump and his swamp-rats, they are trash in the face of America's tradition of liberty and justice.

Pompeo Pompous Ass is so out of touch with reality. And he's such a loyal devotee of the trumpian cult, even to the end.

Hey I'm still waiting for evidence that 3 million illegals voted for Clinton. I guess that just fell by the wayside.

And remember 2018 when a half dozen GOP losers accused the Dems of fraud? Yep. Still waiting for proof on those.

Now it's 2020 and the same empty suits are making the same clams. How about you prove the 2016 allegations first before I look at 2020?

I really can't roll my eyes hard enough.

Living in denial. Willful ignorance. Blind obedience. Sore loser. Poor sport. Cry baby. It’s time for these clowns to get a move on.

They lost the game. 74 million Americans attest to this. That's more than any POTUS in history. And Joe already said that in January he's removing trespassers from the WH.

Totally. They rigged the presidential election, but we're too stupid to rig the election for Senators just a little further on down the ballot. Makes total sense. ;)

Really looking forward to not having to listen to these idiots anymore after January 20th.

They lost the game. 74 million Americans attest to this.

Actually, it's topped 77, and climbing towards 80 million. Congratulations!

Trump's little show is over! It has come to an end!

Actually, it's topped 77, and climbing towards 80 million. Congratulations!

exactly, currently at 77million with 6.6million still to be counted, over 5 million votes more than Trump and thats expected to grow, get this many of the states in the vote didnt even have 5 million votes total!

About 50 years ago, the USA put the first man on the moon, but now, they can't even get a presidential election right. The USA is rapidly declining before our very eyes.

PS Is this a coup d'État?

Yep..hopefully this election fraud will be corrected and the winner will be based on legit votes only..many countries including China are yet to congratulate the winner.

Republicans are morally bankrupt at all levels no wonder they follow Trump

Pompeo is just one of Trump's puppets doing his bidding.

In related news, it seems that a Pennsylvania postal worker who claimed that there was ballot tampering, had made up that claim. It seems that he was disgruntled because he had been disciplined several times at the post office he works at. Oh my.

https://theweek.com/speedreads/949276/officials-pennsylvania-postal-worker-admits-making-allegations-ballot-tampering

I think that some republicans (Orange for sure) say this kind of stuff just to make Democrats lose their marbles.

Pompeo won't be running in 24.  Will be Orange (which I thin, is a bad idea) or some young firebrand who buys into his vision.

PS Is this a coup d'État?

Its an attempted coup d'Etat (the second attempt on President Trump)

But now its watch and wait as the evidence piles up and the SCOTUS renders its verdict.

Not saying which way they will come down, but important to note Al Gore was declared President-elect for 36 days in 2000.

More. I want more. I want to post all of these types of comments as the first post in the January 20, 2021 article: "Joe Biden Inaugurated as 46th President of the USA".

Not saying which way they will come down, but important to note Al Gore was declared President-elect for 36 days in 2000.

Important to note that this isn't true.

Its astonishing that at this point there are still some out there who are not aware that the US President is not elected by popular vote. The US has an electoral college where the only vote count that matters is in swing states. The difference here is razor-thin.

But Trump and his allies insist "illegal" ballots may have been cast despite no evidence of mass voter fraud, which is extremely rare in U.S. elections.

Check how many falsehoods a journalist can cram into a sentence.

There is no reason to put "illegal" in quotation marks; if they are fraudulent, they are illegal.

The claim there is no "evidence" is only because the mainstream media do not report it.

The claim from the critics is not about "mass" voter fraud, it is about specific, targeted scamming in order to just swing the results enough. That is why the election was so much delayed in the states that did it.

Who says "extremely rare"'? To the contrary, a reasonable assumption is that it is extremely common, but not to this degree, and usually not with the absolute cover of the media. In this case the media has been covering for the scammers throughout, so they had total cover.

Yep..hopefully this election fraud will be corrected and the winner will be based on legit votes only..many countries including China are yet to congratulate the winner.

Its absolutely adorable that you are citing Communist China not congratulating the winner to support your argument that there was election fraud without any apparent awareness of the irony involved in doing so.

So China's stance is now the barometer by which we measure whether an election was tainted by fraud?? An American election at that.

Would you people lease provide cites to credible sources regarding the alleged fraud instead of just screeching about it?

Look hard..mostly will not be in the main stream media..

There are plenty of neocon warmonger Republicans who hate Trump just as much as the neolibs do.

This is not about the established party system, this is about elitism vs populism.

Its astonishing that at this point there are still some out there who are not aware that the US President is not elected by popular vote. The US has an electoral college where the only vote count that matters is in swing states. The difference here is razor-thin.

Biden has won the electoral college. lol.

The claim there is no "evidence" is only because the mainstream media do not report it.

Oh yeah? Hit me with the evidence. I'm excited. Blacklabel came with "look, there are people counting votes, that's clearly illegal". What have you got? You gonna hit us with "testimony" from Rudy's pedophile pal? What about the guy who signed an affidavit saying he lied about fraud?

Would you people lease provide cites to credible sources regarding the alleged fraud instead of just screeching about it?

Look hard..mostly will not be in the main stream media..

You were asked to provide credible evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.

You posted an article from 2017 that says people don't trust the media as much as they once did.

OK.

You posted an article from 2017 that says people don't trust the media as much as they once did.

Yes, posted "articles", as your sources are mostly MSM and SM... think about it..

"Top of his class" Pompeo should be top of the list to be cashiered next years for his craven subservience to Trump's illegal shenanigans. Mike must be made to account for his dereliction of duty as a tool of Trump and a useless USSoS and brought to justice pour encourager les autres.

phase 2. the change from no fraud to no widespread fraud.

phase 3 will be coming, it was widespread but not enough to change the results.

We dont need to prove widespread fraud. The Dems got a new election in North Carolina this year from the courts without proving widespread or that it even affected the result.

evidence of widespread voter fraud

Its absolutely adorable that you are citing Communist China..

Well..Communist China is just one of the many countries..I do not support Communist China..but they are smart.. otherwise they would have reached out to Biden..

Yes, posted "articles", as your sources are mostly MSM and SM... think about it..

You posted irrelevant articles.

We dont need to prove widespread fraud. The Dems got a new election in North Carolina this year from the courts without proving widespread or that it even affected the result.

Sorry kid. The law is that the election for President and Vice President takes place on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That has come and gone. There will be no new Presidential election.

Trump lost. Get over it.

You make it sound really democratic and representative. I guess the expression "We, the People..." doesn't mean a whole lot either then. Unless it actually just means the people who live in swing states.

But Trump and his allies insist "illegal" ballots may have been cast despite no evidence of mass voter fraud, which is extremely rare in U.S. elections.

I think at this point Trump and his Republicans know they've lost and are just doing as much damage to the republic and its democratic features, including voting, as they can. From here forward the pro-authoritarians have a herd willing to continue parroting their messages of 'fraud'.

In Washington state the Republican candidate for governor is currently trailing by 579,000 votes, having only 43% of the total votes while claiming fraud. Wack

It's the Republicans running the frauds. And continuing their attacks on democracy.

Kiss ass much, Pompeo?

The Dems got a new election in North Carolina this year from the courts without proving widespread or that it even affected the result.

That just tells us Republicans commit fraud. You said yourself yesterday that you would too if it meant keeping someone you didn’t like from being elected. So should we expect to see evidence of Republican fraud? Maybe worth some serious analysis.

Once they saw he was on his way to winning, stop the counting.

He wasn’t. But there is precedence for Republican fraud. North Carolina. We know they do it. Investigate!

This Pompeo loon, like these other apocalypse-porn addicts, is eagerly awaiting the rapture. He is literally invested in the end of the world. Nice Secretary of State you got there.

"That's why Mike was number one in his class at West Point!" referring to the U.S. Military Academy

If this dope was the dux of that "academy", you'd really worry about what other rubbish is coming out of there.

So Dems- they are just election cheaters. which is unforgivable in our country.

North Carolina

Yep which was unforgivable, and the Dems were......given a new election.

thanks, man!

North Carolina

So why do Republicans commit fraud?

Once they saw he was on his way to winning, stop the counting. Inject some illegal ballots, mess with the settings on the vote counting machines, then restart counting. Otherwise why did the counting stop? this has never happened before.

Lolol would you guys make up your mind? Is it stop the count or count the votes? Seems like you want to count votes in some places, but stop in others.

So they did it, they cheated. They just didnt expect to have to cheat so much that they would get caught this easily.

What an absurd story. They cheated to get Biden in, but we're too stupid to cheat to get Dem senators in. Makes total sense. ;)

Meanwhile, Republican whistleblowers are now admitting they lied: www.businessinsider.com/usps-whistleblower-cited-by-republicans-recanted-accusations-wapo-2020-11%3famp

North Carolina court didnt just say, oh well, the media already said the other guy won, so nothing we can do.

They didnt say, well it wasnt widespread fraud.

They didnt say, well it didnt affect the election final results.

Fraud happened, a new election was demanded, and given as a penalty for the fraud.

Blacklabel: "I saw one district where Biden supposedly got 75% of the votes, but every Republican kept their seat."

Which one was that? Proof, please. We know you guys aren't strong on that with your claims, but surely you don't fall into that camp, Blacklabel. And please, no Breitbart this time.
