Politico: Pompeo discussing a run for Kansas Senate seat
His departure would be another blow to the president’s ever-changing Cabinet.

WNU Editor: His resignation would be a hit on the Trump administration. He is close to the President, and he has been trusted by the President to handle a number of key foreign policy issues. His departure would leave a huge vacuum in the U.S. State Department. As to what is my prediction. The Kansas Senate seat is a safe Republican seat, and he is well positioned to win both the Republican primary and the Senate seat easily. He will resign at the end of this year to make a run for it.

How did this fat head finish first in his class at Westpoint?
How will he exist as a Senator; will he just go around the Kansas sticks giving speeches demonizing Iran every day? What will Bolton do without him? Christ, these two have never ending chubbs when it comes to the Persians.
Don't let the door hit yer fat azz on the way out Mike.
Chud,
Do you have any idea of the academic workload at Westpoint?
My guess is that if you would have gone to West Point 20% chance you would have folded in the 1st summer. 80% chance that you would have folded before the end of the 2nd semester.
Have you been to Kansas?
I have. Maybe you out to get out of the basement more and quit chubbing.
What is your BMI and what is your age?
