    Can our president get any dumber?

    Mike Pompeo should hire a personal assistant if he's too busy to run his personal errands. Taxpayer dollars should not be expended to clean his dishes, walk his dog, etc. We all understand that he's a busy man and he's an important man. That is why he is well compensated. He should use some of that compensation to hire a personal assistant to do the household chores that he doesn't have time to do.

    This is the kind of **** IGs investigate all the time. The dumbs out there think it is petty but I guarantee you they'd be howling for blood if an Obama admin had done this.

    Well, maybe he could borrow one if Melania had a harem of servants and staff like Michel did.

    Do you have any source for your claim that Michelle had more "servants" than Melania does?

    I have to hand it to you. I asked for a source and you delivered. So, why does this mean Pompeo, who is not the president or first lady, can make state department staffers run his personal errands?

    "Can our president get any dumber?"

    NO.

    It is literally impossible...

    Trump has already set the all-time record for IMBECILIC Behavior...

    Unless one can quantify varying degrees of Less Than Zero...

    Yes it is. That you seek to dismiss it in such a trite way is telling. Why should Taxpayer Team USA pay for having Pence's dishes being washed? What next? Hookers?

    That is his personal issue, and zero to do with the Taxpayer Team USA. "Oh Mr Magoo, you've done it again."

    Don't you wish Donald would just shut up? Until he does, the left will tear him apart.

    He whipped your asses.
    Tough ****. Trump's his boss and Trump's not making a big deal about it. Tell Pelosi to impeach him over it. No President has ever been impeached twice before, and Trump would like to set this record.
    What law are you claiming was broken, and where is this clowns completed report on it?
    You looking in a mirror?
    If they jump off a cliff, are you going to jump off a cliff?

    DEEP STATE CLOWN IG Steve Linick Was Worried About Staffer Ordering Dinner While Pompeo Was Tied Up, Didn't Bother To Produce Written Report Though — But Obama’s $2 Billion Pallets of Cash to Iran Was OK With Him?
    .
    Your Clown's not that impressive and has a rather dumb look on his face. Not as bad as Biden, but certainly well below par.

    Pompeo recommended that the Clown get canned.

    Obama sent the Khamenei regime a pallet of unmarked bills in the dead of night in exchange for US prisoners.

    The Iranian regime was so proud of themselves they posted the video.

    Did your Clown say squat? But walking the Dog, he's right on top of that, absent a completed report. Trump was right to fire him. Who would have confidence in a Clown like that?

    Have Pelosi hire him to fetch her ice cream.

    You mean.... Donald got a guy who was looking in to this... which is his job.... fired.
    It's not allowed. And Donald is just indeed being a bad leader with this stuff.

    Did he make or did he ask? Just curious. If he asked for a favor then by all means lock him up.

    Given the taxpayer money spent on covering up/paying off sexual encounters from congress members ($300,000) I’d say there’s far more to worry about than who puts Pompeo’s dishes in the dishwasher.

    His point is exactly the same. You folks had no outrage over Obama so why should we have any over Pompeo?
