“Mike Pompeo”
Ugh. Not that guy again.
Tell Trump to avoid Pompeo.
I’d love to see him tap Rudy Giuliani as AG. That would make some heads explode.
So what info. was withheld? Trump said on Rogan that he read some of the files and decided to not release them because it might unduly affect some people still alive. I don’t know if that means some sort of illegality, or a tip wasn’t properly followed up on, or a CIA official acted irrationally, or something else...? It really didn’t sound like it was an issue of the CIA taking out Kennedy or something like that.
In any event, I’m trying to figure out how you get from Pompeo advising “don’t release files X, Y, and Z”, to “he admitted that he and Gina Haspel purposely withheld information from Trump.” There is much more to Pompeo’s admission?
BTW, I noted from the reviews on Amazon that if you disregard a few from obvious leftists or deep state supporters (ie., they like Tillerson, etc.), the reviews of the book are overwhelmingly very positive.
Trump said on Rogan that Pompeo is a good man. I guess you’ll flush Trump down the toilet next, eh?
I’ve wondered about that too...
J.D. Vance needs to spend his time promoting Trump’s positions and studying (mostly by observation) and reflecting on how to run a large organization.
Let him lead a giant project that people yearn for, Education Reform Czar.
Now, that is just laughable.
I suppose Pompeo grabbed several million bucks somewhere to have Trump speak well of him on Rogan, too?
Hell no to Pompeo.
NO, NO, and NO!!!! No ONE from the first admin EXCEPT Navarro the rest are backstabbing SWAMP CREATURES!! Elon will help Trump sniff them out!!
Education Reform as in winding down the Dept. of Education? Hey, I’d be all for that, but there too, one would need to spend a LOT of time on just how you go about winding down such an organization without unduly harming millions of kids (and their parents) who have been lured or trapped into dependency on the Dept. of Education. You can’t even get a merit (grades) based scholarship from a college any more without going through “FAFSA” / the US Dept. of Education...
I don't have all the answers, but yes, government is too big. We need federal incentives to promote competition to the teacher union public school failed and corrupt monopoly.
That's a tough one. Where on earth are you going to get enough qualified people who would be willing to serve? Almost all would be people taking a substantial pay cut, all will go through hell (attacks by the left / media), some will be in physical danger (and some of those, like Pompeo, will need good security for themselves and their families for rest of their lives). Some need to stay where they are now, unless Trump is darn sure he can find a good replacement for them. That rules out most Pubbie Senators or Reps. who won contested seats in their most recent election.
If someone stuck with Trump for 3-4 years and Trump still feels they did a good job and were loyal, I'm not going to second guess Trump without some actual and strong evidence that person undermined Trump, committed treason, or something like that. (Which surely Trump would know a lot better than I do.)
Besides, Trump would have accomplished very little without at least some good people working with / for him.
Agreed on that.
I see the amendment to allow the State of KY to help support private schools went down to defeat. :-(
didn't know about that, probably Beshear to blame.
Wasn’t Jared Kushner a major player in negotiating the Abraham Accords?
“I guess you’ll flush Trump down the toilet next, eh?”
Seek help.
Strong teachers’ union, outside money, half decent promotion of the plan but zilch to defend against attacks on it.
Beshear of course opposed it, but didn’t seem highly involved in said opposition.
Basically the argument against was that it would raise taxes or take money away from public schools. IMO, maybe the supporters should have added a rider where money for the support of private schools would come from administrator’s salaries at failing schools.
(We get TV from a station in multiple states including KY.)
So, you are saying that after Pompeo worked (closely) for Trump for 4 years, Trump is wrong and you know better?
As for help, I invite you to come help me with some roof repairs. A 3rd hand would be great.
