This is a fairly short piece, but does a good job of showing the damage done by a combative attitude. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news...&utm_source=Twitter&__twitter_impression=true
Pompeo's bullshit "Commission on Human Rights" (which basically "found" that some rights are core to America i.e. God and property rights and others have been "diluted" by proliferation i.e. we gave the gays the same rights everyone else has) doesn't help win over Europe either. I'd include the UK, but we're so fucked right now Pompeo could shit down Boris Johnson's throat live on TV and he'd swallow and the government would applaud.
Imaginary friends, and owning stuff. See? They finally codified on paper what I've been saying. Conservative care about things over people. Even imaginary things.
Pompeo's statements on the tearing down of Confederate monuments make me question if he wouldn't be the sort to agree black people WERE property.
