Wow the government seems to be at their personal disposal

[writes3000]

1. Corrupt and absolutely disgusting.

[lagomorph777]

29. Relax. I'm sure Poopeo's new Inspector General is on the case.

[eShirl]

2. omfg they're not servants

How fucking cheap are these horrible people anyway?

[greenjar_01]

3. These people are pure trash

[dalton99a]

4. Corrupt lying trash

like the rest of them

[DURHAM D]

5. How did he graduate top in his class from West Point?

He just seems stupid, in addition to totally corrupt.

[Captain_New_York]

7. I posted this yesterday regarding the character and fitness of Pompeo

In 5 years of active duty, a West Point grad, #1 in his class was never given command of a cav troop ( company) This is a tell for me, a former army AR CPT who has been in command and the father of a West Point grad who is in his second INF company command.

Obviously he did not receive the faith and confidence of his superior officers

[DURHAM D]

14. Thank you for this info.

I have some West Point grads in my family but have never discussed Pompeo with them. Probably never will.

[Historic NY]

26. Well he did run the motor pool, lube oil, filter,

kick the tanks treads.

[hack89]

34. I bet he took an early out due to the draw down

my brother was in the same situation - the Army started a large draw prior to Desert Storm and offered an early out for a lot of junior officers because there would be no need for then in the future. My brother stayed just long enough for Desert Storm and then left the Army.

45. +100000

[dalton99a]

12. He majored in "engineering management"

aka bullshitting, brown nosing, ass kissing, low balling, cost cutting

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. mikeyP is a vile meat popsicle.

[BComplex]

42. I really like your name, NoMoreRepugs.

I always like to suggest that we never elect another republican. For anything. Anywhere. Ever.
No
More
Republicans
EVER

[NoMoreRepugs]

44. Tanks.

[Celerity]

46. it may come down to who controls them

[FM123]

8. The picture above just says it all:

Ha ha you suckers!

His disregard for the law is only equal to his disregard for the American people.

[Alex4Martinez]

9. He's a disgrace.

Pompeo may, at first glance, seem an unlikely candidate to get tangled in this web. He was the top-ranked graduate of his class at West Point (whose code of honor commands cadets not to “lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do”) and a church deacon with a strong moralistic bent (at least rhetorically).

[BComplex]

43. What happened to him? How did he go from there to here?

I can't stand to listen to the guy. He's right up there with trump and mcConnell in the repulsive categories.

[Alex4Martinez]

47. Watch the Family on Netfix, I believe they all think they were sent by God.

And when you're sent by God any means justifies the end.

[MuseRider]

10. Prepare.

I can almost guarantee this one is preparing a run for the presidency.

We cannot be complacent if Biden wins we must look ahead and get them now. He is scary and he does not care what you think.

[leftieNanner]

28. Run for President

That's what all those taxpayer funded fancy schmancy dinners were all about. He included some very wealthy potential political donors in those parties. Plus SCOTUS Justices?????

He is dangerous. Let's get him!

[MuseRider]

36. That is what I thought

when I read about that. I am a Kansan and this state knows this jerk inside and out. The Koch brother will do anything for Pompeo and always has. Not only does he have donors lining up he has the backing of Koch industry from his backyard. There is nothing this man would not do to win. He scares the ever loving crap outta me. He is a smart Trump. Think about that.

I ignored him for years, he was not from my part of the state. Bad on me. Not that I could have done much but that was a bad thing to ignore.

[leftieNanner]

37. Ugh!

I'm really glad that this crapola is coming out about him now. Tarnish his brand. Plus, since he is so deeply connected to Trump, that might not be so good either. I am still stunned at the depth of the corruption of these guys. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it just keeps coming at us.

Good on you, Kansas for your Dem Governor!

[MuseRider]

38. She, our governor, is at this moment

fighting one of the worst RW legislatures in the country to keep her powers to run the state through this CV pandemic. They want to take her powers to do that away. She met with Trump yesterday, he liked her.....she is damned smart and I knew he would because she is used to people like him. She is smart but they can and will take from her everything they can get. There are a few moderate R's around but they rarely have much influence. We will see how this goes. I fear Kansas will now open up entirely like nothing ever happened.

[hamsterjill]

11. This is very typical amongst the crazy Evangelicals.

They feel entitled and since they themselves profess (not saying they actually have) a “servant’s attitude”, they expect anyone “under” them to do whatever they ask.

I live in Texas and no less than three times in my lifetime I’ve been forced to work for people like this. That feeling of entitlement is very prevalent and has only been emboldened by Trump.

Please, everyone! We have to take our country back!

[Cognitive_Resonance]

13. Anyone who's worked in government knows "personal services" is a big no-no. Mandatory annual

training covers this very topic. A textbook example of illegal and unethical use of government resources. Open and shut.

[DeminPennswoods]

24. Not quite

I've known flag officer aides who've had to do similar things for their flag officer.

[SharonAnn]

41. Yes, it's not right, but it's not uncommon.

[keithbvadu2]

15. Entitled

[lillypaddle]

16. All of them

blood sucking leeches.

[bullimiami]

17. He's one more smug corrupt thieving bastard. Trump has a stable of them.

[Hortensis]

31. Yes. Trump chooses for his own kind. Understandably.

He must have various memories, not all incidents blocked, of irritations and more serious problems from associating with honest people who didn't fit in, refused to go along or even tried to cause trouble.

But Pompeo's is incredibly arrogant greed, greed for its own sake, abuse of power for the pleasure of it, taking because they can. We'll know how stupid it is if it turns out they can't.

What's been very interesting is those once seeming to be people of integrity and honor while operating in environments requiring that who promptly became astonishingly corrupt when corruption became possible and was rewarded instead.

I read once in an article about criminal personality traits that many successful white collar people who turned to crime, presumably like some flocking to Trump's admin, found achieving gains illegally more satisfying than legally. Also that they were often surprised when finally arrested that they were considered criminals. Lesser people are criminals, not them.

[MineralMan]

18. That is simply illegal.

Instead of hiring professional movers, which is how such thing should be done, they made people whose jobs are completely different do the work. Government employees and contractors have well-defined job descriptions.

Moving someone's mother is not a federal responsibility in any way. It's easy to hire movers. To use government employees to do the job is an illegal use of government funds.

Period.

[Hortensis]

33. It's also profoundly contemptuous of and insulting

to underlings they abused this way, suggesting even worse attitudes toward the people they're supposed to be serving.

Where would a man who'd have an "official" move his mother's furniture draw the line for others? Try to use national security laws to frame and imprison someone for decades because he reported malfeasance as required? No line at all.

[MineralMan]

35. It's typical of the arrogance and sense of entitlement of the

Trump administration. They all treat federal employees as personal servants, as if they were paying them themselves.

That is why doing so is a violation of the law. Public servants and government employees work for US, not them.

[Hortensis]

39. Absolutely. But Trump also reflects what the Republican

leadership has become. Their common corruption is just more frequently and obviously blatant in his administration, with media attention on ineptly soaking the public for jet travel and extravagant parties -- instead of congress stealing trillions through many types of transfers of national wealth to the kleptocracy they helped create, including current attempts to transfer pandemic losses from the wealthy to small business and regular people.

[oasis]

19. A cheap assed couple. MSM should call out Pompeo on camera. nt

[SoonerPride]

20. Why the fuck are we paying for them to use the government as their maids and butlers?

This shit is outrageous!

Go to prison already!

[kairos12]

21. Vile trash.

[Victor_c3]

22. Really, I'm seriously asking - do any Democrat officials misuse government assets like this??

Are any Democrats as corrupt as the current group of republicans? Am I just not seeing corruption from Democrats in the news?? What’s going on here?

[Wednesdays]

48. Hey, IOKIYAR

Don'tcha know?

[Victor_c3]

49. ?? Big acronyms confuse me

[ancianita]

23. Corporate plantation owners instruct their overseers to treat any paid employee as their servants.

There's no principle but that -- "do what I say or you're fired."

[edhopper]

25. Remeber the good old days

when people would resign over shit like this?

[kimbutgar]

27. You know if Democratic SOS did this they would have burned them at the stake by now !

[sunonmars]

30. imagine if Hillary had done this.......it would be deafening for resignation calls.

[Bigredhunk]

32. Cheese'N'Rice

Hire a mover you cheap f*cks.

[Squinch]

40. Why don't they say no???
