(19,066 posts)There was no fighting, all Trump has to say to Erdogan is, no, you will not attack the Kurds, they are our allies and our troops are with them. That would have been the end of the discussion.

(11,885 posts)Have backed , causing an ally, the Kurds, to be murdered by trumps best friend Erdogoon. Trump and the GOP keep getting more and more corrupt, and work against our allies, and side with brutal and criminal corrupt dictators. They aren't making America great causing allies to be murdered, but trump and the GOP will sell out anyone if the price is right.

(12,480 posts)The Kurds I think abandoning them was wrong,cruel,disgusting. trump needs to be impeached thrown in jail or executed and his money confiscated to pay back the massive debts he caused.
Or let the Kurds do what they will to him.

Up there with covfefe.
You don't get to mock typos any more. Those privileges are suspended.
Although, you know ...
For "to turk" the urban dictionary (always reputable) lists wanting drugs because of going "cold turkey", working for mechanical Turk (is that even still a thing?), and a kind of rough anal sex. Only one of those is transitive and has a past participle, and that's the third one.
As for basking, one online dictionary (not urban, just reputable) has as one definition "to revel in and make the most of (something pleasing)." So that fits. Not only were the Islamist Syrians turked, but they basked in their being turked.
Hmmm ... Maybe it's not a typo, but a fiendishly clever claim.
