This is less about Bernie, more about how Hillary Clinton really is pretty dense.

Still would've made a better president than Trump, though.
she would get away with genocide, just like Obama.... that is far from better.

Looks like Lord Dampnut is a lying liar who lies a lot. News at 11.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump inquired how long Ukraine would be able to resist Russian aggression without U.S. assistance during a 2018 meeting with donors that included the indicted associates of his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
“How long would they last in a fight with Russia?” Trump is heard asking in the audio portion of a video recording, moments before he calls for the firing of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. She was removed a year later after a campaign to discredit her by Giuliani and others, an action that is part of Democrats' case arguing for the removal of the president in his Senate impeachment trial.
A video recording of the entire 80-minute dinner at the Trump Hotel in Washington was obtained Saturday by The Associated Press. Excerpts were first published Friday by ABC News. People can be seen in only some portions of the recording.
The recording contradicts the president's statements that he did not know the Giuliani associates Lev Parnas or Igor Fruman, key figures in the investigation who were indicted last year on campaign finance charges. The recording came to light as Democrats continued to press for witnesses and other evidence to be considered during the impeachment trial.

The Ukraine map thing takes the cake. Who would have thought two years ago that people like Tillerson were the A team.

They should have played a half dozen rounds of, "Find The Country".

There was a good commentary on it... I can't find it now. Pompeo didn't outright say Kelly (the NPR Reporter) couldn't find Ukraine on a map, but “It is worth noting that Bangladesh is NOT Ukraine.” The commentary deconstructed it pretty well. It's one of those bullshit gaslighting answers when you don't want to put yourself on the record saying she pointed to Bangladesh, which presumably would be an outright lie if anybody testified or there was some other hard evidence otherwise (if it weren't, why not just say it straight?), but you just plant the idea in dense people's heads with something that's not technically false and prosecutable and for these people that's good enough. The worrisome part is for the most part it's been good enough. These people.

Please tell which ethnic group Obama wiped off the map.

Performative assholery, pure and simple. It's the coin of the Lord Dampnut realm.

Wanna bet Pompeo couldn't find Bangladesh on a map, anyway? Lol.

And it turns out Pompeo is indeed a lying sack of excrement, quelle surprise:

Newly released emails between the office of Mike Pompeo and NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly cast further doubt on the secretary of state's extraordinary claim that the journalist lied to him before a contentious interview.
Pompeo, who reportedly subjected Kelly to an expletive-ridden rant in his private living room after an interview during which he was asked about his role in the Ukraine scandal, issued a statement in which he accused the reporter of violating “the basic rules of journalism and decency”.
[...]
The email exchanges obtained by the Post, between Kelly and Pompeo press aide Katie Martin, were sent a day before the interview and clearly show Pompeo's office was told he should expect questions on the issue.
“Just wanted to touch base that we still intend to keep the interview to Iran tomorrow,” Martin stated. “Know you just got back from Tehran so we would like to stick to Iran as the topic as opposed to jumping around. Is that something we can agree to?”
Kelly replied: “I am indeed just back from Tehran and plan to start there. Also Ukraine. And who knows what the news gods will serve up overnight. I never agree to take anything off the table.”
