"What are you going to do, take that and throw all of that away?”

One suitcase at a time, apparently.

For anyone wanting a refresher on just what our “friendship” with the Saudis looks like over the last hundred years, I recommend James Barr’s “Lords of the Desert: Britain’s Struggle with America to Dominate the Middle East”.

Not that I would expect Eric to read a book.

I don’t care what Eric Trump thinks. Why should I? Nobody in his family does.

In the 80’s you would have prominent Conservatives defending US backed death squads in El Salvador who were responsible for the murder and rape of priests and nuns. They would even blame the victims with the likes of Al Haig and Jeanne Kirkpatrick making excuses like “They ran a roadblock!” This band of conservatives have now weaponized these lies with the help of their media entertainment complex.

He added that journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s alleged murder was “awful” and “savage,” but that it leaves the United States is in a “very tough predicament.”

A “very tough predicament”?

Let me help you out here, kid.

When a head of government orders the murder and dismemberment of a journalist – on diplomatic ground – there’s no “predicament”, tough or otherwise.

You either stand with murdering and dismembering people, or you stand against it.

Sorry your little, rat-like brain suffers from trust-fund poisoning, but the rest of the human race gets it.

Seek help – while there’s still a chance to save what tiny crumbs remain of your lost humanity.

Just a quick reminder that this one slain journalist was essentially executed for writing critical stories about his country’s government.

You know, something our FIRST Amendment is rather adamant against. This is something that America should always be against. Why is this even a debate?

I think of Eric as the son Donnie wanted aborted but Ivana said no.

If you don’t stand up for one human life, then you don’t stand for any human life. It’s not about the number, it’s about values, a moral compass, priorities, about who you are deep down. What’s important to the Trump crime family? Not American lives apparently. And he was an American resident.

A story currently on The Guardian web page is somewhat appropriate to this topic.

The thesis: the exceedingly wealthy and extremely poor are more alike than we think. The difference is how they are treated for the same behaviors…

I don’t know that he can make that work, but I’m pretty sure Clown Prince is right in his wheelhouse.

Would Trump sell a 100 billion dollars worth of arms to Al Queda? Why not? Certainly would help the economy. Not to mention there’s probably a strong chance KSA was somehow involved on the 9/11 attacks on our country.

Why is Eric on tv and not the resident expert on Middle East policy, Kushner?

Better yet, why isn’t an elected official on tv?

Stupid PP is saying that a potential arms deal is leverage that SA has over the US while the opposite is closer to the truth. Oh right, up is down.

Because it’s a Trump, 'nuff said.

I’m not sure it’s not a bad idea to throw Eric Trump into a “leopard patch” with only a bone saw.
