Trump's extreme rhetoric, going so far as describing the media as "the enemy of the people" was the wink and
nod which gave his BFF the Saudi dictator the green light to carry out his brutal execution of the reporter.

The implicit message Trump is sending to the American Media: 'Better be careful with your criticism of me or you will be next.'

Trump and his deranged violent mob of supporters are just plain evil.

Yep, he is now caught between a rock and a hard place. He has been smooching up to the Saudis for his own gain, and now, as President, he is being asked to confront them on what they did.

You will notice he is being uncharacteristically quiet about this situation, hoping it will just go away. Luckily, the Turks are keeping it alive, as are some of our politicians, so Trump is going to have to make a decision soon.

Trump calls out American athletes, political leaders, the NFL, porn stars, lawyers, the FBI, CIA, news outlets etc that exercise their constitutional rights. He blasted them on Twitter and media outlets. But he refused to speak one negative word about Putin and the crown prince, the notorious murders and dictators. Trump is compromised and corrupt.

I don 't like what the Saudi's did to this guy. But, at the same time, I don't care that much about it either. The public murder of one man by another government who wasn't a United States Citizen is not enough if a reason to destroy all diplomatic relations with another country. What Trump has now is a big chip he can play against the Saudi's for years to come. It's always the long game with Trump. The Saudi's have been killing their own people for years and not a peep from anyone. But because Kahsogghi was a sometime contributor to rags like the Washington Post I am supposed to care now? Guess what? I don't. The guy had a risky job and if he was dumb enough to allow himself to walk willingly into an embassy knowing he might not walk out then that is entirely on him. The false outrage on this one is laughable.

Are you nuts? CNN tried spreading this LIE without any supporting evidence. There is not one shred of evidence that anything CNN said, or what you repeated is accurate at all. The Trump derangement syndrome is at full power with this story and all it does is make those people look worse than they already do.

Tell us again why he went into the consulate.
Did you bother to read any of his work? His feelings are out in the open on a variety of topics.

For whatever reason he walked into that Embassy one thing is for certain, he did it of his own free will. if he was dumb enough to walk in there after the things he said in print and other media outlets he has no one to blame but himself for getting himself killed.

Koshogi was alive and kicking all 8 years of Obama's terms and all 8 years of Bush's terms.

But it's just "a coincidence" when it comes to the Ultimate Responsibilities of a True President for Agent Orange. Sad.
he was NOT American , he was Saudi born of Turkish decent and residency


Khashoggi was supportive of the muslim brotherhood (a extremist organization). In one of his own blogs he argued for the Muslim brotherhood, and wrote that “there can be no policy in any Arab country without accepting that extreme Islam is a part of it

ALQ attacked on 911

ALQ was HQ's in Afghanistan which the US went into

Iraq was due to them training ALQ and failure to abide by UN resolutions

Don't they know that by now?
Hey, it is Thanksgiving not opposite day!
