Secretary of State, Pompeo

Pompeo just now delivered a joint statement with Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray.

It's boring. Bromides and platitudes, the whole way. Nothing unseemly. You'd be forgiven for thinking they're both kneepads salesmen. Full transcript here if you care to be bored. My eyes glazed over halfway through. Maybe something interesting was said after that.

More interesting than their joint statement is Pompeo's Twitter feed. He's an interesting provocative fellow, and he gives his trolls the what for.

Rosie in FEC trouble.
Iran deal is toast.
Factories coming to US
I’m bringing home 3 prisoners.
Obama’s legacy is now in the shitter.
Hillary isn’t president.
And it's just Tuesday.

His trollish followers didn't like that.
Nice hate-fueled tweet ya got going on there.
And.
You're an ass. And we have a sexual predator as president. 
Pompeo responds.
I'm still trying to work "brown people" and "slaves" into my routine. 
And very much more of this type. It's a bit fun observing a Republican in high office behave as Democrats do. His trolls don't seem to get it that he keeps upping them. They return with low-level trolling apparently unaffected by Pompeo's smiting.

Epic Twitter.
Monday's tweet:

Schneiderman out.
Kerry violated the Logan Act.
McCain planning his funeral.
Gina Haspel to be confirmed.
Judge blasts Mueller.
Hillary isn’t president.
And it’s only Monday.

They're like the newsies and Trump.

They chase the little red light while these two (and Bolton and Mattis and Sessions) get a lot of good done.

parody account in case it wasn't obvious

Obviously a parody but giving Sean Spicier a run for his money.
