So congress is willing to risk severely punishing the American citizens economically to prove how moral we are. I suppose congresses open border policy and willingness to invite 6 billion people into the country and put them on welfare isn't enough punishment. I wonder if we can get a fixed price on the value of our morals. It would help to know how much dumpster diving we'll have to do to maintain our moral values.
At some point we need to make a moral decision. Are we going to be the parasites or the host ?

What does the Left expect Trump to do, send in a Seal team to kidnap the Prince and bring him to a US court to be prosecuted? How about firing a volley of missiles into the country?



The Left is so quick to jump to conclusions when it suits them like with the Kavanugh hearings. The evidence is mounting that the Prince was involved in the murder but has there been a trial yet? I thought that we still believed that people were innocent until proven guilty?



Trump shouldn't have said anything about it but then again the media pressures him to make a statement and we all know that Trump doesn't need much prodding to put his foot in his mouth. If he had said nothing he would still be criticized.

So that's what the right now calls kissing the ass of murderous dictators and other so-called leaders of the world. Thanks for clearing that up!

One question, does that term also cover throwing your own intelligence community under the bus, sometimes on international TV as was done in Helsinki?

You might also want to read Eisenhower's speech from almost 60 years ago.

Thankfully we have a President that knows we have no business in an internal Saudi affair and is doing what he can to put Americans first.

There are loads of people who disagree with you, including the Senate. Hopefully they can get something done if Trump refuses to. What happened was horrific and vile. Trump cares first that the Saudis are bankrolling him, and he cares about their impact on the U.S. secondly because if they were to retaliate it would make him look bad. Not that he cares about the citizens of this country one whit. It's all about him and his image.

Nothing says putting "America first" like taking no action when an American resident is brutally tortured and assassinated by another regime and trashing American intelligence agencies and their assessment of the assassination in the process. 'murica!!!
