Mike Pompeo's tweet: "One week from today, I will be stepping aside as Secretary of State and this account will be archived. Be sure to follow me @mikepompeo. Go do it now."

What did he mean about stepping aside. Could mean just out of the way, but this implies that he is going to stay in the government just in a different role. He could have said "step down" and this would be vacating him his post overall. He could have said his term was up as SOS and that he will be out.

The word "aside" literally translates to:

a remark or passage in a play that is intended to be heard by the audience but unheard by the other characters in the play.

This is exactly what is going on with everything. The audience is supposed to know something is different, but the characters keep playing as normal - none the wiser.

Yeah I thought that was weird verbiage also. Why wouldn’t he say stepping down?

Same here. Didn't say anything about leaving or how he will not be pursuing anything else. Just that the twitter handle will be archived.

The line of secession to the President is: VP, Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and then Secretary of State. Take from that what you will.

VP Pence (treason by certifying fraudulent slates of electors)

Speaker of the house (do we even have to discuss the amount of crimes?)

President Pro Tempore of the Senate is the next in line since the VP is the president of the senate. This is currently Chuck Grassley (R - Iowa)

Maybe we should start digging into Grassley?

Unfortunately he voted against the objections of the fraudulent states

In other words he’s not a “good guy”?

I'm pretty sure he has been based on a lot of things, but when the pressure was on him he folded. He changed his mind after the "day that will live in infamy that was definitely worse than pearl harbor" incident

He's mostly good for a swamp creature, but stll stained. Also he's about 86 and has been hinting he wants to keave for years.

Today is the 13th. One week is the 20th. When a new President is inaugurated the old Cabinet is gone, although it doesn't have to be that way. We have to see the 20th to know what's in it.

Holy fuck! There's no secret code. Step down, step side, whatever. Stop looking for hidden meanings in tweets. Go outside or read a book.

Our president has told us that he will not conceded and 'we will never be a socialist country'. You have to give him a week to let things play out if there is a plan at all. Holding the line for 7 days is exactly what is leading to an impeachment right now by the dems. They are going crazy and trump is calm and reserved as always.

Prison sentances is the only promise left Donald made to us. If deep state faces justice then this country will never be socialist

So, if ( note I said IF) Trump steps out of politics, what's the plan for this site? Support for his building projects, his new TV shows? Not trying to be a dick, seriously, what?
