Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, and Mark Thompson | (The Young Turks Video) | – –
Pete Hoekstra is either a great bad liar or a really great one. Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, and Mark Thompson, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. “The US ambassador to the Netherlands faced an excruciating moment on television when he denied ever saying that there were no-go zones in the Netherlands, calling the suggestion “fake news”.
My thoughts ? About Son Excellence Monsieur l’Ambassadeur ? Reminds me of Herman Kahn’s “Thinking about the unthinkable”, though Kahn provided, half a century ago, interesting views on a nuclear war. Maybe we should read it again. I doubt Ambassador Pete Hoekstra will remain in our memories for long
Bald face lying seems to be the one consistent strategy of this administration. You can understand why they continue with it – it got Trump elected.
Another “forked tongued” Amerikan diplomat.
I’m sure he said it at one time. He wants to curry favour with the right wing in Dutch politics. There is a strong anti Muslim attitude amongst some Dutch. The ambassador needs to keep his mouth shut. Its not polite to make waves in the country you are a guest in.
If he took out the word Muslim and inserted, Jews, see how far he would get………The ugly American is alive and well. O.K. Dutch American. with a last name like his, you can bet his ancestors came from the Netherlands.
The Trump administration is rapidly being populated by appointees who have obvious mental and psychological DEFICIENCIES and DEFECTS!!
Why is that?
