It makes me wonder, what if this happened under the Obama administration. I bet it would be a different tune all together.

What? If an American businessman was murdered in a foreign consulate and dismembered with a bone saw it would not have made the news?

I remember when all you cons were up in arms about the gassing of the Kurds calling for the head of Saddam Hussein for killing all the poor innocent Kurds. Bush senior invaded Iraq because Saddam supposedly attacked the poor innocent Kuwaitis. So you cared about the innocent Kurds and Kuwaitis who were slaughtered by Saddam Hussein but somehow an innocent man who was brutally murdered on his wedding day is no concern to you. Last time I checked the gassing of the Kurds did not take place on US soil nor were they American citizens.

Your epic hypocrisy would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Of course, they would be calling for Obama's head for allowing it to happen.

And of course, the genocide of six million Jews never bothered the Trumpettes either since they weren't Americans
and it didn't happen on American soil. We should have just allowed Hitler to wipe out every last one of them.

Its unanimous. No one doubts the murder was enabled by the Trump Family. Even the family knows it. That is why they are hiding from it. They know they are murderers and criminals. If they thought otherwise, they wouldn't hide .
Own it. Just say it, Trump family. "Kashoggi was an enemy of the people like Jim Acosta is the enemy of the people" trumps are more Saudi then american. Check their birth certificates. They sure as hell are NOT American.
He thumbs up murder for money.
He 'll thumbs up YOUR murder for money or nothing.
Vote them out or face the consequences.

Think first before typing.



That is a very valid concern, however, it goes deeper than a paycheck. Do you remember the Davos in the desert conference and the mass cancellations because of Khashoggi murder? Saudi Arabia spent 27 million dollars lobbying Western businesses to come invest in Saudi Arabia. Companies that are backing away because of the murder include Uber and Viacom both strategic to MBS's plan to move away from oil and create jobs for the youth of Saudi Arabia. More than 60% of Saudi's are under 30.

This goes beyond one Saudi Citizen with a permanent residence address in the United States being murdered on sovereign soil in another country. This is about silencing a free press. This is about the most powerful leader in the free world green lighting any autocrat or dictator to do the same as long as we're for sale and you can benefit us.

MBS made a bad move by alienating Western companies through this despicable act. If our president lowers the bar and accepts this without consequence, then perhaps our business owners and those around the world will "give up a paycheck" in favor of standing up to a dictator trying to silence a free press. Maybe the Saudi's will stop buying all of Trump's luxury condo's Just google Trump's business ties to Saudi Arabia, they run long and deep. It's not America first with Trump. It's America for sale to the highest bidder that lines his pockets. Yeah we all should think before we type, but we all should also research before we type, and I don't mean just right wing media. You will never hear anything negative there will you?

Busted.

A Turkish newspaper reported on Thursday CIA director Gina Haspel signaled to Turkish officials last month that the agency had a recording of a call in which Saudi Arabia’s crown prince gave instructions to “silence” Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

“It is being said the crown prince gave orders to ‘silence Jamal Khashoggi as soon as possible’,” in a call which was monitored by the U.S. agency, he said.

They say MBS is a reformist, but it is business as usual where the Saudi Royals 'silence' anyone that does not agree with their regime.

You can be a terrorist and and at the same time support MBS and you are safe.
Especially since MBS supports arming Al Queda and ISIS in Syria.

You cannot however be against MBS regardless of your beliefs and live, it will be off with your head.

By Supporting MBS, our country supports terrorists.
