Trump and his minions are apologists for murderers.
KBS - I came, we saw, I conned turd.
The meeting was to discuss how to lure all of Trumpâs âenemiesâ in the press to foreign soilâŚ
So when Khashoggi checked at the Saudi embassy in D.C. guess who was the Saudi Ambassador to the US, yes thatâs correct Khalid bin Salman.
And has no one ever answered why Khashoggi couldnât pick up these documents that he needed at the Saudi Embassy in D.C.?
SighâŚ
Harder to get the clearance to fly the bone-saw dudes into the country.
âReason for applying for visa?â
âOh, just dismembering someone for the Princeâ
âOkay, approvedâ
Sad.
Even Henry Kissinger would blanch at meeting with a murderous, thuggish dictator. But weâre apparently way beyond that. I hope this puts to bed, once and for all, any Republican claims to the moral high ground -which, in actuality, was always a farce.
And as ex CIA Director, Pompeo should know better than anyone the type of person MBS is. Shame on him.
This is what our dismantled state department looks like. If you donât think we have become servants to our hydrocarbon masters, look at whoâs calling the shots. Sovereign petrostates like Saudi and Russia, or private petrostates like ExxonMobil (which has about the same GDP as Norway). What do we want? When do we want it?
His office mailbox should be inundated with bone saws.
Pompeo is a stupid manâs Kissinger
Why are we still playing pattycake with these thugs. The US is oil independent. We donât need them anymore.
Trump Tower Mecca.
Trump is greenlighting massive nuclear sales and technology transfers, which Saudi Arabia is most certainly paying a hefty price for. The firms raking in that money are in a wink-n-nod arrangement with Trump to kick back a portion of their receipts, to him and the GOP, for the upcoming election.
Book it.
He might have âblanchedâ for a minute or two, but as soon as he recovered his skin tone he was right there with Pinochet, Mao, Brezhnev or whatever murderous dictator would fulfill his Machiavellian schemes.
I dunno, maybe the sins of the present overwhelm those of the past, but they certainly donât forgive them.
I do agree on your other points, but I canât go for the cultural relativism that can make Nixon & Co palatable.
Hey, thereâs money to be made. Canât have morals getting in the way of moneymoneymoneymoneymoney.
Also, national security is overrated.
This sounds a lot like somebody blaming the victim for going to a consulate. As if âmurder in consulatesâ is an ordinary danger that expatriates regularly have to deal with.
Itâs the paperwork that will kill you every time.
