    Your rhetorical skills are really bad. I hope you are trolling.

    Pompeo has a track record of getting hostile and trying to bully female reporters. He's done it with reporters from PBS, USA Today, and some others. The guy has a track record for lying, and Kelly has a track record of high journalistic quality and scholarly background of the area in question.

    Pompeo is trying not to lie by saying she didn't know where Ukraine was but knows that he can't make that claim. He's dishonest in a weasely way because the feels this version of dishonesty doesn't count as an outright lie.

    The ironic thing is that there is no way Trump could identify Ukraine on a map.

    They had an argument because Pompeo couldn't answer tough questions. He has a record of trying to bully female reporters.

    Her claim in this case isn't bullying

    Again, your rhetorical skills man. I really hope you are trolling.

    So it's not demeaning if it's "in private". So let's apply that logic to other circumstances to test it out.

    Is it not demeaning if a boss tells a female employee to walk on all fours like a dog for his entertainment as long as it's only between himself and said employee?

    "Demeaning" has nothing to do with whether the incident was public or private. Being so triggered by a question from a reporter to the point where you want them to point a country on a blank map is a power play attempt by Pompeo to make her feel as if she was being demeaned. That was the entire motivation behind Pompeo... To make her feel like shiat because he got triggered over a question asked.

    It absolutely is. He then continued in bullying in his dishonest attempt to trash the reporter.

    The fact that he called in, tried to intimidate her, screamed profanity in her face, the fact that he demanded she point out Ukraine on the map, and then set about trying to trash her in the public eye. His bullying was unsuccessful but he tried. He's done it before. He has a track record of doing it.

    You asked me to not Project? You seem to be having a rough time. I don't think it's worthwhile to belittle you.

    Before she went public, where does she claim bullying without projection. Asking to point something on a map is bullying?

    Being argumentative/defensive/yelling isnt bullying. Its a tantrum. I could see if he said i better not see anything about this in the news or even i won't give you another interview.

    But thats neither here nor there. Where does she claim bullying, intimidation or anything? No projections. If she went public with this im sure if she felt she would have said so.

    Unless the bully leaves with the other kid’s lunch money, it is not bullying.

    Imagine how well this asshat would do under oath testifying in the Senate about the President and Ukraine.

    Sadly Pompeo’s temper management issues would likely impress SCWs.

    The SoS needs to retake anger management and ethic classes, and attend real churches more often.

    Thread summary:

    1. secretary of state gets butthurt about a female reporter doing her job by asking questions about a current foreign affairs topic. The S0S thinks he will demean the reporter by testing her knowledge (which she passes). He storms off, then attempts to further demean the reporter by having an aid bring her into a private office to yell and swear at her. The reporter reports on this... then the SoS (on official letter head) further lies about the reporter to further demean the reporter's integrity.

    2. Its an indefensible action by pompeo. In strolls a trump defender (who claims continually to not be a trump defender in every trump defense he posts). The trump defenders posts a few ignorance defenses of trump ("college graduates don't know the relative positions of Ukraine and Bangladesh", "just another trump is bad thread"). trump supporter gets blasted in responses, digs in deeper with even less intelligent responses.

    3. Other people accuse trump defender of being a troll, trying to derail thread. trump defenders defends his honor by saying he isn't a troll and wasn't derailing the thread, only defending trump, pompeo, and himself.

    Did I miss anything?
