Trump goes to the bottom of everything, just when you didn’t think he could get any lower.

Some fun conjecture: Saudi assassination squads. Haley leaving UN post. Draw line between two. What did she know and why’d it make her want to get the fuck out of Dodge?

Does that mean he will authorize another “limited scope” investigation?..It may be a little bit tough to come up with a list of people to ask who won’t know anything.

Khashoggi is an enemy of the people, right? A journalist? Why is Trump concerned about his fate, or about those responsible for it? Shouldn’t he be bringing the perps to the White House for a medal ceremony?

“We cannot let this happen, to reporters, to anybody,” Trump said, after confirming “we want to bring [Khashoggi’s fiancee Hatice Cengiz] to the White House.”

“We’re going to get to the bottom of it,” he said.

Dear Donald Trump,

The answer to this mystery is NOT at the bottom of a 18-piece bucket of KFC.

Love,

Ken in MN.

Because pressuring authoritarian regimes to improve their human rights practices, like not murdering and dismembering mildly critical journalists in a country other than their own, is a freaking hallmark of this administration.

Trump will allow the FBI to interview only Hillary and then he’ll pronounce her guilty.

Matt, those standards are just unreasonably high.

Wow. Even saying that as a joke is appalling.

Remember in the 90’s when you had the likes of far right characters promoting the video The Clinton chronicles. A video that claimed Bill Clinton was involved in 60 odd murders and other nefarious activities like drug running out of Mena. (That was actually Ollie North) Jerry Falwell would hawk it on his Old Time gospel TV show. A lot of this stuff was bunk and discredited but it sold to the rubes.
Now you have Trump where associates of his and family members have ties to regimes that have carried out murders and disappearances that have a lot more salience than what was alleged in the 90’s.
