Classy??? . . .

. . . I don't think so. . .



(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-praises-pompeo-for-fight-with-npr-reporter-you-did-a-good-job-on-her/2020/01/28/34d314f6-41fb-11ea-b5fc-eefa848cde99_story.html)
". . . “Very impressive, Mike,” Trump said, jovially. “That reporter couldn’t have done too good a job on you yesterday. I think you did a good job on her, actually.” . . . Trump was referencing a confrontation Pompeo had with NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly after an interview in which she asked him why he did not do more to defend Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, amid a smear campaign that resulted in her losing her posting. . . Pompeo cut off their interview and then proceeded to curse and yell at Kelly for asking about Ukraine, the reporter later said. She said he used profanity when he asked her angrily, “Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?” He then asked her to find Ukraine on a blank world map, which she says she did. . .Pompeo did not apologize for his treatment of Kelly, instead issuing a statement in which he continued to attack her credibility, insisting that she had lied to him about the interview being about Iran. He also said their conversation after the interview was off the record, which she says she never agreed to. . ."

Three . . .

. . . things that struck me in the article referenced below . . .


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-s-big-risk-iran-showdown-n1111421)

". . . Pompeo told the Christian Broadcast Network last year that Trump might have been sent by God to help the Jewish people defeat Iran. . . "As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible," he said then. . .
[1] If this adult male, serving in a very high position of our U.S. government (Pompeo) still (he is 56 years of age) believes in an omniscient, invasive "god" and the things that he (Pompeo) imagines this "god" can/will do, then he is not qualified to service in this capacity. Oh, wait a minute, he works for trump . . .

Aside from selling arms to Iran to fund Nicaraguan contras, the Reagan administration provided massive aid to Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war in that decade, which followed the fall of the shah and the taking of American hostages in Iran during the Carter administration. . .
[2] Reagan, a republican, aided and abetted the hostile nation that took 52 hostages shortly before he took office. A man in possession of 'great' integrity (sarcasm mine).

John R. Pitney, a professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College in California, said . . . "I’m not sure that Trump’s calculations are super-sophisticated — I think his actions are driven by a desire to look tough, and that gives leverage to people like Pompeo who apparently has convinced him that this is a great way to look tough. . ." . . . "
[3] Mr. Pitney is quite perceptive regarding the personality of president trump.

Two . . .


. . . suggestions from which to choose .Mssrs. Pompeo and Barr,
Either apply your moralizations to the current commander-in-chief, without exception, or stop your digressive and devolutionary pontifications.


(from usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/10/14/state-dept-website-promotes-mike-pompeo-speech-critics-decry/3980544002/)
". . . Pompeo . . . (touted). . .  Christianity throughout the remarks, describing how he applies his faith to his government work, referencing God and the Bible during the entirety of the speech. . . Attorney General William Barr, also gave a speech on religion on Friday, decrying secularism as a root of some of society's problems, including drug overdoses, mental health issues, and violence. . ."


(from https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens)
Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

Any . . .

. . . sane adult. . . 
. . . could only LAUGH at this story . . .


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/pompeo-suggests-god-sent-trump-save-israel-n986136)
". . . Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggested in a televised interview Thursday that God may have sent President Donald Trump to Earth to protect Israel. . . .Pompeo made the remarks in an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network, or CBN, in Jerusalem, where he visited the Western Wall with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. . .When the interview turned to Iranian aggression in the Middle East, Pompeo was asked whether he thought "President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from the Iranian menace." . . . "As a Christian, I certainly believe that's possible," Pompeo responded. . ."

Punch . . .

. . . diplomacy . . .


(https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Iranians-to-punch-US-Secretary-of-state-in-mouth-says-Iranian-official-558028)
". . . (U.S. Secretary of State Mike)Pompeo said on Monday Washington would impose new penalties if Tehran did not make sweeping changes, including dropping its nuclear program and pulling out of the Syrian civil war. . . The people of Iran should stand united in the face of this and they will deliver a strong punch to the mouth of the American Secretary of State and anyone who backs them," Ismail Kowsari, the deputy commander of the Sarollah Revolutionary Guards base in Tehran said, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency.
