Cool sentence, Mike. Enough ambiguity to say "I meant there would be a Biden admin. in between term 1 and term 2" or "I meant a Trump business administration".

We don't have to care what these chucklefucks say. Put them on the record, laugh at how much a lame-duck, traitorous president has them by the balls, and realize that their microphone is shrinking by the day.

In fact, Trump's refusal to concede defeat and forcing his sycophants to do the same effectively torpedoes their future political careers, to some extent. I wonder if he's doing it intentionally, to maximize his own chance of staying on top of the GOP scrap pile.

Edit: All that said, what Pompeo is saying is undeniably damaging to our democracy. He knows. He doesn't care. Fuck the lot of them.
