Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was mocked online after he was snubbed by European diplomats who have reportedly refused to meet with him due to last week’s violent assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump.
The snub caused Pompeo to cancel a planned trip to Europe this week.
Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn slammed Trump as a “criminal” and a “political pyromaniac who must be brought before a court” in a radio interview with RTL.
Reuters reported that Asselborn, as well as other European Union figures, had all declined to meet with Pompeo during the planned two-day trip. One diplomatic source told the news agency that allies were “embarrassed” by Pompeo after last week’s violence in Washington.
And Pompeo’s critics on Twitter are wondering what happened to his self-described “swagger.”
Pompeo has repeatedly boasted of “swagger,” even reportedly calling the agency the “Department of Swagger.” Earlier this month, he launched a boastful Twitter thread using his own made-up definition of “swagger” to pat himself on the back.
Now, with the U.S. reputation a shambles and key allies rejecting even a simple meet-and-greet, Pompeo’s critics are asking him where the “swagger” went: ...
Trump made America so great that it can't even get a meeting with Luxembourg anymore

Instead of referring to traitors as a Benedict Arnold, traitors will now be called a Donald Trump.
Good point.
He won’t pardon himself not because of the law but because pardoning himself admits guilt and that is subject then to civil lawsuits for financial damages from everyone injured and killed and from every business that lost money. He’s be penniless sooner than he expects.
Interesting point, if accurate.
Followed by a bunch of hilarious tweets trashing MyPillow and Mike Lindell. For example:
It has a moustache
It’s stuffed with treason.
The fascism...it's definitely the fascism.

Obviously an idiot for:
Being a "Right-wing pastor and QAnon conspiracy theorist";
Seeing a mystical significance in a football score;
Thinking there will be a second Dolt .45 term.
Also an idiot for:
Thinking that scores between schools from Trumpette states represent the nation;
Not knowing that the "visitor's" score always comes first, even in Bowls played at neutral sites, not the winner's score. https://www.espn.com/college-football/scoreboard

Hominy beats crazy but crazy has attracted many adherents here of late.
Good point.
