Now it's basically 'Who cares?'

The Moral?

Spend lots of $$$ with the US and/or the POTUS and do whatever the hell you want.
Perhaps you might look at our relationship with other countries who carry out assassinations and follow precedent.


this bumper sticker view of our relationship with SA is pure political pap and has nothing to do with reality.


hope you don't have any items from China in your possession after all the crimes they commit against humanity.


Europe still gets their energy from putin who has assassinated journalists like they were chickens on their way to chickfila.


The only reason people have a problem with SA and Trump's response is because it is Trump.


Iran foments murder across the globe and Obama gave the more money than the Sahara has grains of sand.


Pakistan harbored binladen, imprisoned the doc who betrayed him, what do we do, nothing but hand over cash to Pock E Ston!


Trump smacks them back to show distrust and disgust, which will flavor the ongoing relationship. Never trumpers and dems are the only ones that wish to make SA the exception to precedent. And only because it puts the economic windfall Trump negotiated with SA in jeopardy.


Call BS on the charge Trump ignores the murder. If we carried out what dems and never trumpers want himn to do, we would finally have achieved a state of isolation which is what dems and never trumpers accuse Trump of doing.

Are we going to punish all crappy regimes?
Maybe only the ones who attack us on 9/11 (mostly Saudi Citizens) and kill our USA Permanent Residents.

Did North Korea or Russia kill a registered Permanent American Resident? Crimes against Humanity should definitely be pushed proportionally and decisively. But crimes against us? Ignored?

What is the point of not being illegal if you mean nothing to your fellow "would-be" defacto citizens?
America has sure gone down the drain... I guess that is what "drain the swamp" was supposed to be. Convert us into a desert wilderness of moral bankruptcy.

Funny how the Republicans applied the term "flip-flop" to Kerry as if it was only worthy of contempt, but they're okay with Trump flopping all over the place.

The flip-flopping isn't the issue here, though. The main issue is that, for him, money and deal-making trump every other concern, including common ethical standards. Then, of course, there's the secondary issue of his adoration of authoritarians. I imagine Trump is hugely jealous that other leaders can just casually assassinate people - as Putin and Kim do, as well.

Imagine if Obama melted like a snowball in a furnace and flip flops and chickens out the way this does.

Just imagine.

Trump could care less about a WaPo journalist that is a permanent resident.

He's probably wishing he could do the same to Acosta.

This is just awful again he takes the word of a another liar over our own intelligence stating openly it's about the money. WORST president ever.
Crimes against humanity only mean something if we don't have any business with a particular country?
How do people support this thug?
