Mike Pompeo hearing in congress todays dog and pony show starting now. The show must go on. Might be interesting.

There should be some dancing.

Dancing around the questions and the usual I can't comment on that.

Hope someone asks him about his interest in that Chinese oil field equipment company he forgot to disclose when he was interviewed for the first position...

We will see.
Right now Bob Menendez is Trump bashing in true grandstanding fashion.

No doubt Bob's got a list of questions from Putin this morning that he will ask in the second round.

First question is one that won't be answered by Mike. Thanks Bob Menendez you idiot.

You knew I couldn't answer the question when you ask it.

Bob wants to turn the opportunity into the Mueller investigation.


On to Sen. Jim Risch, says he will be voting yes to confirm Mike.

Has the pompoms out and doing the acrobats for Pompy.

Just out of jail card and trying to frame the President in the lowest way possible. Pompeo was clear!

Pompeo spoke with Mueller and Pompeo will not disclose personal conversations to Menendez.

Is Menendez related to the two brothers who killed their parents?

Sen. Ben Cardin drills down on the Iran agreement. Gets feisty and keeps interrupting the answer.

Moves on to No. Korea.
And now on to "climate change" what some view as the biggest security threat to the nation.

You are being stupid Ben and I don't agree. My translation.


Rubio is a yes.
Now Rubio polishes his lapel and pretends he will be a great president and appeals to the better nature on defending human rights. Rubio rightly moves on to China and sees them as our greatest threat. Mike in diplomatic fashion agrees.


Sen. Shaheen wants it to be about Mueller's investigation like a true Dem. Ask questions Mike won't answer on that.


Sen. Ron Jhonson wants America to be the world policeman.

I don't know.
I can't keep up with all the criminals in the communist party, convicted or in waiting.

They were talking about this on NPR this morning and yeah this is just going to be a dog and pony show....moreso than usual. They had a leading dem from the committee on the show and he was talking about wanting to make sure he'll use diplomacy and so forth which is funny.

He commented on diplomacy with Syria but it made the NPR interviewer let out an inadvertent laugh in response and noted sarcastically how well that's worked for 8 years. I thought that was a funny exchange.

Sen. Tom Udall wants to get in bed with the communist dictator in Cuba and make some money. Of particular interest he mentions the internet.

Pompeo is a nasty guy. We do not need a Secretary Of Hate who will be so eager to lie for the Military Industrial complex. Netanyahu is the one who wants the US to start a war so badly that he can taste the gunpowder. I'm with Russia and Assad on this one. The US has screwed over too many countries already.
