Listening to Waltz and the car dealer reminds of, as a 3rd grader and reading about foreign aid, asked mom why are we giving $ to them when so many here need it. She explained it's complicated, but we're trying to help those in dire need. Of course, I was the child who upon learning Abel went to a

City raised my hand and wondered how that could be given the garden of eden story. There was debate and disagreement. Parents were called, I was accused by teacher of being "anti-social" and Godless. Mom calmly replied that perhaps teacher gave inadequate response. 2nd grade. Mom had hard job.

Dumald’s always BEEN terrifid of PERSONALLY firing people… Afraid of Phys Confront?🤷🏾‍♂️… According to both Mary Trump (Niece) & Mike Cohen (former Atty)? Dumald NEVER termed ANYBODY @ Orig Trump Inc. ALWAYS had Ivankula/Jar-Jar-red/Mike C. do it FOR him. NOT ‘Tough Guy’. Frightened ‘lil B!TCH!!

found the video - he's calling it "fake news" but he never said what was fake news - that he was fired or that he's still receiving a salary and Rosen didn't clarify for some odd reason. So, basically, Rubio was appointed to do Waltz's job, but Waltz was never ousted?? Something ain't adding up

Yeah, I think you're right. It's ambiguous the way he frames it, as it's in response to two distinct assertions/questions from Rosen, but your interpretation makes more sense.
