@ oa : Yup. Good points. Still. The mafia and Saudis share a lot in common really and reckon Trump envies the Saudis a bit here too esp when it comes to murdering questioning journalists so blatantly. Something I know the mafia also does.

StevoR,

If Trump wants to get rid of someone, he doesn’t need advice from MBS. And anyway things are done differently in the U.S.

Trump, crook and bully, got rolling
in New York
in the notorious 70’s,
was in real estate,
was in casinos,
was mentored by Roy Cohn,
hung out with Mafia,
surrounds himself with alt-right death heads.

Apparently this doesn’t raise any red flags for the clueless MAGA loons, or put off his apologists in government.

Dig into it. In this particular area, don’t think that he can’t get away with whatever he wants with a little help from his friends.

Donald Trump, Republican’s big FU to America and the world.

Ps. D’oh. Typos. Hope y’all get the gist anyhow.

Truth – though its not just the data telling us Trump lied but the fact that them an changed and keeps changing the figures and stories he spouts here nigh on every damn time.

But, yeah, dean, you are spot on otherwise on all points there I think.

Honestly, I don’t think Trump, senile, evil, old narcissist that he is gives a toss about Khashoggi’s murder. I suspect if anything he’s jealous that the Saudi’s can that to their pesky journalists and he can’t do the same to say Jim Acosta or even Megan Kelly. If he talks about the case to his Saudi friend at all I suspect he’ll be asking for tips on how he can do it and getaway with it too. And because its hard to tell these days, no that isn’t sarcasm, that’s serious because that’s the kind of scum Trump really is. The president of the United Sates of America people.

He (Khashoggi) was not a citizen (technically), but he was here on an “O” visa, giving resident status for a short time (3 years? 5 years?) I think some of his children are citizens, and read that he was in the process of applying for citizenship.

“Hey @realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not ‘America First,'”

Anyway, the Grand Order of the Patriarchy is looking more and more feeble and pathetic every day. Good.
