Basically - “If you don’t give the toddler what he wants, he will break things and wreck your house. It’s your fault the toddler had a tantrum and destroyed his room - you took away his binky.”
He won’t do that immediately, however. He’s actually coming here for a fundraiser sponsored in part by Ricketts of the Cubs. The last time a Trump came here, one of his sons, he visited a classy restaurant and even there was spat upon. By a member of the wait-staff. Now, I hesitate to say that I condone that, but I’d like to repeat that he was spat upon. A good gooey one from what I hear.
This is typical bad-faith “reasoning” from the right. Cheney had to ignore both the documented phone call between Trump and Turkey’s leader Erdogan, and the announced-by-Trump decision to withdraw American troops.
Having ignored both those salient facts, she was free to invent ‘Turkey takes its cues from Democrats!!!11!!!’ as the “explanation” for what has occurred.
Trump administration economic adviser Peter Navarro made up an economist he has quoted regularly in his books. “Ron Vara” is an anagram of Navarro’s last name. He also frequently quotes Leslie LeBon, who turns out to be his wife.
The parents of the British teen killed in that car/motorcycle crash with the US diplomat’s wife were invited to the white house to have a meeting with Trump. Trump, ever sympathetic, had the accused waiting in another room, apparently hoping for a shiny photo-op with all parties. When the parents were made aware of her presence, they were less than consoled.
Dunn’s parents said Trump had been responsive at their meeting but the planned encounter with Sacoolas had come as a bombshell.
“He said he was sorry about Harry and then he sprung the surprise that Mrs Sacoolas was in another room in the building and whether we want to meet her there and then,” Tim Dunn said.
“We said no because as we’ve been saying from the start we want to meet Mrs Sacoolas but we want to do it in the UK so the police can interview her. We didn’t want to be sort of railroaded, not into a circus as such, but a meeting we weren’t prepared for.”
Aside from the fact that “there’s a surprise person here who wants to say something to you” is shit straight from Jerry Springer, the idea of a group therapy session with grieving parents and their son’s killer, led by a fucking sociopath, is beyond whatever is beyond “beyond the pale.” I guess they pictured a tearful 3-way hug while a grinning Trump gives his signature thumbs-up?
