Bogie56 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 At his Dallas rally yesterday, Trump* naturally tried to defend his decision to give the green light to Turkey to invade Syria and attack the Kurds. He likened it to letting kids go at it in the school yard to get it out of their system before you stepped in and pulled them apart. This must be little comfort to the Kurds who have now lost hundreds of more lives and have had at least 160,000 people driven from their homes. Trump knows no shame and has zero empathy for anyone but himself. He also continuously attacked the 'crazy' democrats for their impeachment testimonies when the witnesses have all come from his own administration. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 -just ANOTHER Trumpist with imaginary supporters......... White House Adviser Peter Navarro Calls Fictional Alter Ego An 'Inside Joke' ...... The character Ron Vara appears in Navarro's 2011 book, Death By China, offering dire warnings about Chinese imports. "Only the Chinese can turn a leather sofa into an acid bath, a baby crib into a lethal weapon, and a cellphone battery into heart-piercing shrapnel," Vara is quoted as saying. But while the book is not supposed to be fiction, Vara is a made-up character. "Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro," said Tom Bartlett, a journalist who exposed the ruse in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Vara appears in half a dozen of Navarro's books, dating to 2001. Navarro, who directs the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, defended the fabrication as a "whimsical device."...... ....the joke wears very thin when you get to certain statements about China and the Chinese people that are quite negative," Bartlett said. "Ron Vara says things that are pretty over the top, and it's hard to construe them necessarily as whimsical in the way we normally use that word." ........ https://www.npr.org/2019/10/18/771396016/white-house-adviser-peter-navarro-calls-fictional-alter-ego-an-inside-joke?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=nprnews Link to post Share on other sites
