Still waiting for a strong “FUCK OFF, LAVROV” from Pompeo

...but am I waiting in vain?.

1. I'd love to be the one to tell him.

I'd just stand there and smile at him for a few minutes, then start laughing my ass off.

And tell him to just wait there, I'll be right back with his answer, but it may be a few minutes, something important came up.

And then have a news crew film me attending a baseball game for the nightly news.

And then contact him to set up another meeting.

And then do it again.

I think that would piss him/them off to no end.

No threats, no yelling, no lies.

Baseball.

2. And isn't one of the top DOJ officials a newly confirmed stooge who worked for a Russian bank??

4. Yes, that Brian Benczkowski guy...

“Senate Democrats had urged the White House to withdraw the nomination, citing "poor judgment," after Benczkowski acknowledged briefly performing legal work for Alfa Bank, which has ties to Russian government officials, in 2017.”

6. He's scum.

3. And I bet that

the Moscow Moron, the Traitor Tot himself, trades her to Putin for a Trump tower Moscow with a McDonalds inside it

8. Exactly what I was thinking.

n/t

9. Well, you know what they say about great minds...

[gratuitous]

5. Oh, I'm sure it's coming

Pompeo will say "Fuck off, Lavrov," it'll just sound to the rest of us like, "Yes sir, anything else, sir, can I re-fill your glass, sir?"
