Jake Tapper threw Peter Navarro off his program CNN State of the Union recently. He did not allow Trump’s spokesman to spin lies.
Jake Tapper was persistent
It is wonderful watching the mainstream media playing catch-up as they attempt to stop being the tool of the Right and of the Plutocracy. Jake Tapper was masterful in his calmness that simply perplexed Peter Navarro.
Even after hearing Donald Trump tell Bob Woodward that he know the severity of COVID-19 back in February, Navarro wanted Tapper to avoid believing what we all heard. The Trump administration is so filled with men and women that lie like petulant insecure children.
Instead of answering Tapper’s questions, Navarro attempted to lie and change the subject. Jake did not give in. And when Navarro refused to answer, he cut the interview short as Peter stayed in full protest mode.

In another instance, a smaller media outlet’s correspondent noticed something beyond the usual Trump “shiny” cloud and mentioned some rather f’d up recent decisions that the shiny attracted crowd failed to notice, to include forced female sterilizations.
Honestly, I suspect that Trump would put big ovens in his concentration camps, save for a familial revolt. And that is rightfully so!
I’ve known Holocaust survivors personally and greatly miss their presence as they passed away. I also had uncles relieved the concentration camps along their train of advance and heard whispered tales of what they witnessed on entry to the camps. Given Waffen SS war crimes and the camps crimes against humanity, I’ll not complain about reprisals, which are lawful under both the Geneva and Hague Conventions.
Hell, under reprisal code, I’d have helped.
Even though, you’d likely disagree, it’s something one learns in actual warfare, where some crimes are so egregious as to offend one at an instinctive level and in some rare cases, better dealt with swiftly, lest public opinion demand the genocide of a warring populace.
Yeah, things that f’d up, even you’d be enraged and tempted to call for blood. It is human nature, overall.
Humans and chimps aren’t very different, genetically and hence, biologically. I jokingly refer to humanity as a novel form of chimp, the chumpanzee.
Which reminds me of an old story. Some monkeys were observing humanity and vice versa. Each, recording their observations. Humans had cities, modern technologies, pollution, warfare. Monkeys had tribal peace, occasional warfare, no pollution and no cities to create strife through congested living conditions.
Each arrived at the conclusion that they were superior for their observed reasons.
Both, being entirely correct, based upon those listed conditions.
Pretty sure I fouled and missed some points in that last, but figuring out a reliable reference at this late hour is defeating me.
