Dan T. Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Jennifer Rubin’s spot-on commentary published yesterday, worth reading in full at the link below... One can hardly fathom the twisted psyche of a president who, after acknowledging that Jamal Khashoggi, a contributing columnist for The Post’s Global Opinions, had likely been murdered, would go before a cheering mob to lavish praise on a U.S. congressman who physically attacked a journalist. “Any guy who can do a body-slam, he’s my kind of — he’s my guy,” Trump said in a Montana campaign appearance on Thursday, referring to Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) who pleaded guilty to assaulting the Guardian’s reporter Ben Jacobs, who had the temerity to ask Gianforte a health-care question. ... Trump won’t apologize, of course, nor will his devoted base hold his remarks against him. To the contrary, this is what they love about him — the contempt for a free press, the celebration of male thuggishness, the mindless emotional outbursts. Somehow it empowers them, to side with brutes and bullies, to revel in the silencing of a free press. ... Whatever the impetus, the lack of decency on display — the willingness to defame a reportedly tortured, murdered and dismembered journalist to deflect blame from a brutal regime that snookered both the U.S. and Israeli governments into adopting it as the key bulwark against Iran — should disgust people of good will, whatever their political or foreign policy views. Proximity to and reverential treatment of an amoral, congenital liar in the White House have disabled the intellectual and moral reasoning powers of many previously respectable Republicans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/10/19/just-when-you-think-trump-and-his-apologists-couldnt-get-worse/?utm_term=.c76f39f74611 Edited October 20, 2018 by Dan T.

Springfield Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 So the Saudis should be able to present a body that, upon autopsy, will corroborate their story... no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 In Secret Final Interview, Jamal Khashoggi Says Only Bernie Sanders Was Willing To Stand Up To Saudi Arabia Quote “And the world is happy with him. Do you see anybody in America except for Bernie Sanders who is calling for putting pressure on MBS? I only saw Bernie Sanders, but no one else.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a whole new list of changing stories probably. "His body is missing" "Ok we think we know where it might be" "The guys we sent but totally didn't order to kill him put it somewhere but we don't know where" "Ok they told us where, but but we lost our map" "Ok we found it but they dropped the body in a random acid pit they found so it can't be autopsied" "We had a seance around The Orb and his ghost told us not to disturb his body" "He never had a body" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, er...what exactly is it he thinks they've lied about then? That's like, THE ENTIRE thing that everyone believes is a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 2 hours ago, visionary said: No wonder Trump and Jared like him so much. They're the exact same kind of callous, disconnected sociopaths. "I had no clue that abducting and murdering a person would be that big of a deal. C'mon...it's ONE GUY. There are lots of guys out there. Some of them even journalists who could take over for him! Why do you all have your panties in a bunch you horsefaces?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might actually be the one true part of the story so they don't know where it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 7 hours ago, visionary said: Turkey apparently had the Saudis monitored as extensively as if they were running a reality show. This week on The Real House of Saud. Does the US sell counter surveillance equipment? I think the Saudi's might be interested in buying all of it.
