So you are admitting that Trump should have called out the Sauds on those things too?
And yet you still support the guy.
Now WHO's a hypocrite?

Trump should have ordered an airstrike on the kingdom on those other things to.
As should have Bush and Obama, but when there is MONEY to be MADE, CHA CHING, we ignore it.

Yes premeditated killings of reporters is a very big deal, its not as if he was accidentally run over by a car. This was well planned, and I agree with you regarding the other atrocities particularly Yemen.


Strangely we are relying on Erdogan for an investigation when he has silenced the newspapers by arresting reporters and pretty much anyone else. A free press is critically important to any democracy. otherwise we would end up like Russia or Saudi Arabia.


So here we are with the killing of a reporter and we are depending on Erdogan and our president who claims the media is the enemy of the state, strange days.

Erdogen isn't lying about this, it's painfully obvious.

What I care more about is why this 1 man is worth more than the thousands killed by Saudi armed terrorist in Syria, or their attacks on Yemen, or even Lebanon in just the past year (!!)

Why is his life worth more than theirs? It seems the DC establishment only cares because they knew Khashoggi and that makes it awkward for them.

Not at all, no one is going to war over a journalist. Yes it's tragic but in these countries it happens all the time.

he is shooting up in the poles, dems are losing their heads, he's killing it on twitter. NOTHING can stop the Trump train now.

Libs are getting so desperate they're advertising polls from last year before the tax cut bill.

The economy has been in a place I haven't seen any time in recent history, people are loving it.

MAGA forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a Washington Post Reporter and no one is going to war, they are proposing sanctions. The Saudi Prince has regularly violated international law before by kidnapping dissidents in foreign countries. We should cancel the military aid that Trump was hedging about, he claimed if we didn't give them arms someone else would.


He wasn't concerned about US manufacturers when he added sanctions on Iran but now he is worried about military contracts.

Do you critically think about trump propaganda before spitting it out on the C-D forum?

No one advocates for open borders...except for the boogeyman that Breitbart warns gullible right wingers about.

Free trade is good btw, just ask all those farmers in the Midwest that can't sell their soybeans now
