I thought this might be a good place to park Tower Card moments for Trump Minions.
Today Pompeo must have drawn the tower card! He went BAT-SHIT CRAZY with an NPR reporter after the interview.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo berated and cursed at an NPR reporter following a contentious exchange over Ukraine, the reporter said Friday.
Correspondent Mary Louise Kelly said she was interviewing Pompeo when he cut it short after she repeatedly pressed him on why he hasn't defended former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Yovanovitch was removed as the ambassador by President Donald Trump last year and has been a central figure in his impeachment.
It was after the interview that the real fun began. He requested a staff member bring the reporter to his office.
"He was not happy to have been questioned about Ukraine. He asked, 'Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?' He used the F word in that sentence, and many others," she said.
"He asked if I could find Ukraine on a map I said, 'Yes,' he called out for his aides to bring him a map of the world with no writing, no countries marked. I pointed to Ukraine he put the map away, he said, people will hear about this, and then he turned and said he had things to do, and I thanked him again for his time and left."
Holy Smokes Folks!
Who is next? I know more are coming
I wanted to add that after reading the story, I decided to search for an unmarked map of the world. I too was able to identify Ukraine on an unmarked map. I also am one of the people in the US who f***ing cares about Ukraine.
@Lovendures I saw that NPR report right before I went to bed last night. I always try to finish off the night on a positive note. I had not seen that Pompeo had berated the reporter. Too bad there aren’t tapes of that exchange! I wonder how his holier than thou followers would feel about that! In any case since I live in Europe, I too am well aware of where Ukraine is and understand the significance of the US being their ally and how it keeps everyone safer to do so. I also understand that the reporter was just doing her job and holding power accountable - which so many in the administration do not seem to be able to handle.
I look forward to more administration Tower card moments! As the circling of the drain speeds up, I am sure there will be many more as the panic that they will lose their power sets in.
I read about Pompeo’s unhinged episode with the NPR reporter last night. Seems like there are cracks widening in his holier than thou evangelical Christian facade. He is obviously scared, so that’s satisfying. However, what happens if his cult leader is acquitted? The hubris will be nauseating.
There are so many minions deserving exposure. It would be interesting to throw cards on them.
Students of the Tarot, this is an awesome thread idea. I feel Trump has been in a prolonged Tower card since the Impeachment began, and throughout then he keeps batting the Tower situation away from him with various projects that he thinks will save him, like the killing of the Iran military leader. I also have heard in my third eye throughout these months Trump needing assurances from his main protectors -- McConnell, Barr, and Pompeio.
It seems odd that a Secretary of State would suggest that a reporter would not be able to pick out a country on the map. Sounds like another case of projecting their own ignorance on others.
I too listened to the Pompeo interview and Mary Louise Kelly's recounting of the post interview rant designed to try and humiliate her. And now just read Pompeo's version of that rant. Of all the lies and mischaracterizations that we have all been subjected to over these past several years, for some reason this one hit me the hardest and I'm not sure why. I mean, on the surface, we've heard much worse things, but it left me sick to my stomach and scared.
Either I am sensing their fear of being uncovered, or I was hit with a very strong dose of the depths of their darkness. I fear for the journalists.
Could their Tower also be ours?
The more cornered they feel, the more rude and insulting they will be. They don’t like anyone to challenge their authority. They have not understood the fundamental concept of serving others in government and not themselves. I can only hope that more journalists begin to challenge those in the administration who are not being held to account for We the People.

When I read this part of your post I saw Trump as King Kong on top of the the ultimate tower, theEmpire State Building, swatting away the planes and bombs. It doesn't matter how many he swats away, he will fall, just like Kong.
Don Kong.. That's a new one! ha ha.
Also, good point of projecting ignorance!
I had that same vision of Kong Don before my diagnosis when I was still very psychic. Same exact. I think I wrote about it somewhere on the forum.
