There must be a solar eclipse in Saudi Arabia that week.
Who is to judge? Whose mob boss’s son-in-law has not gotten hundreds of millions to prop up their real estate empire, and expects loyalty in return? You don’t bite the hand that is bribing you.
“As media mammoths and top business leaders cancel plans to attend an upcoming investment conference in Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of a Washington Post columnist earlier this month, the Trump administration is digging its heels in.”
President Bonesaw
What nations are boycotting various diplomatic, trade and commercial events in the United States due to our indiscriminate bombing of Iraqi and Afghan wedding parties, street fairs and field hospitals?
Rumor has it Khashoggi left the embassy and was later shot in the middle of Fifth Avenue, so no big deal.
In his capacity as an enemy of the people journalist, the Saudis did Trumpski a big favor. I mean, it’s not like he was a Fox journalist or anything.
He applied to work at Fox News. Once HR determined he wasn’t a serial rapist with a pronounced affinity for sexually harrassing co-workers he was rejected.
“If more information comes out and changes, we could look at that, but I am planning on going.”
Nobody bonesaw that coming.
Perhaps the Munchkin should ask a few pointed questions before attending. You know, inquiring to the WH exactly what would be the response if, say, he were to not be seen departing the conference.
Would there be any outrage, or just a phone chat inquiry from Jarod? Or is he all on board with the new “well, they are buying things so no biggie” doctrine now in force?
It will be a nice visit for Mnunchin. I wouldn’t expect a lot of protesters at the conference.
You remember when the President of the United States was the most powerful man in the world because the United States was the most powerful country in the world. Saudi kings, Israeli politicians and all sorts of other lesser world leaders paid close attention to the United States and didn’t do what they were told by the President only when they had no choice. I remember the days when the US economy had a cold and the rest of the world developed a fever.
That is what America was like when it was great.
Now we have a President who jumps when Benjamin Netanyahu says jump, snaps too when Vlad Putin says snap too, and worst of all quakes when MBS murders a journalist in Turkey. Hell a damn Saudi prince is running the President and the administration like America is some vassal. How quickly we have sunk in the world.
Steven “Mumbles” Mnuchin loves to spend taxpayer dollars.
Yeah?
Well who made it safe for us to all say “Merry Christmas” again???
After those Hebrew lawyers from the ACLU and Obama all made it unsafe…
Well why not? He’s going to be in town for the SPECTRE board meeting, anyway.
The world’s largest Hermes store is in Riyadh.
Of course, he has already been paid and has spent the money on his bloodsucking wife…that would be asking way way wayyyyyyyyyyyyy toooooooooooooooo much for him to need to return it, why he may need to cash some of that ill gotten stock.
Every pimp has a whore.
First 9/11 and now this.
Those Saudis sure know how to kill Americans.
