I don't attack or criticize one president over another, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. Whoever happens to be the president follows orders from the same elite.
The post I was responding to with the pictures was questioning the OPs assumption that it is only trump, so I posted pics of every president except Trump since he was the only one that didn’t get away with blame (hope that makes sense).

The left hates America b/c we have done worse and need to be destroyed.

I agreed with that in the same comment I said "missing picture" which I meant in the literal sense, not as Pogue made it sound.

Interesting article published in March of this year:

Saudi Crown Prince boasted that Jared Kuschner was in his pocket

Did Kuschner pass on CIA intelligence as the article suggests?

Also, unconnected to the above, there was a bizarre incident last November. The Crown Prince kidnapped the Prime Minister of Lebanon and forced him to resign on Saudi television. The guy was allowed to return to Lebanon where he promptly un-resigned.

He will. Trump is totally mercenary. Money wins out over human life.

Besides it is a muslim, who worked for WaPo and he criticized the Saudis who Trump has loved for decades. I would not be surprised if Trump had not partnered with the guy in the past.

We'll see if Trump has any morals. I sincerely doubt that he does. He is sending Mnuchin over to a conference with them in a couple of weeks.

And this was one shocking and disgusting murder. In an embassy? Chopped him up? Geez--these people are animals.

Trump will tell us that the Saudi crown prince was "extremely strong and powerful in his denial" and that will be enough to convince him.

Does anyone here seriously think Trump cares about a Muslim reporter? Those are two things he hates separately. Together, he hates them twice as much. He's probably secretly celebrating this murder.

“This took place in Turkey and to the best of our knowledge, Khashoggi is not a United States citizen,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. “I don’t like stopping massive amounts of money that’s being poured into our country,” referring to his desire to sell $110 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia.

IMHO the reaction of our president, to this shocking disappearance and probable murder of a journalist, is another appalling example of how far our country has fallen. The leader of America has announced that money is more important than decency. So much for human rights being a part of our foreign policy.

I don't understand why I feel stunned, tonight; its not as if Mr. Trump has ever been a champion of human rights.

Kushner denies it.

The people who were there said he did.

Who you going to believe?

And yes, that was bizarre.
