According to Seth Abrahamson, the latest news is that Kushner was discussing the Khashoggi case with MBS the day before the disappearance.
I feel that “reluctant” and “despite” are not the right words, In fact the whole phrasing is off. It implicitly assumes certain norms that Trump as a person does not follow.
Oh.
“Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a longtime critic of the Saudi government, has said he’ll try to force a vote in the Senate blocking U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia.”
Rand Paul is dumb as a f**king rock. He signed up for team Trump, but he doesn’t understand the playbook.
The Post, citing anonymous U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence, said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered an operation to lure Khashoggi from his home in Virginia to Saudi Arabia and then detain him.
If this is true, then someone went off script. The obvious alternative story is that MBS fully intended that Khashoggi be disposed of, and this was just nonsense. Regardless, the obvious, clear message to other journos and critics is “Don’t fuck with MBS, just in case you had any doubts.”
I wonder how Kushner feels about his besty now. Fuckers.
tRump:
We have a country that’s doing probably better economically than it’s ever done before
Oy vey… he is Meshugana*
* following irasdad’s recommendation
Considering what daddy Kushner did to his own brother, I doubt Jared is losing any sleep.
[channeling @irasdad]
this BS is just his schtick.
He whines at appropriate pre-set intervals to try to maintain facade/charade of being independent and libertarian.
True that. And there’re plenty of other things for him to worry about.
Well , he gets nice commissions on all the money he launders for them .
“I think that would be hurting us,” Trump said. “We have jobs, we have a lot of things happening in this country. We have a country that’s doing probably better economically than it’s ever done before.”
He continued: “Part of that is what we’re doing with our defense systems and everybody’s wanting them. And frankly I think that that would be a very, very tough pill to swallow for our country. I mean, you’re affecting us and, you know, they’re always quick to jump that way.”
Trying to run this through the Trump translator and all I get is “pfft, it’s only one man, not one of mine, MAGA, MAGA!”
I tried different settings and got: Me Me Me Me!!
But then it turned into: Argle bargle bumpf schnertz wheeze…I think a capacitor may be going bad.
These 7th Century camel-fucking fundamentalist scum are the ones who financed (and led) the 9-11 attack; their Wahabbi “religion” is the Terrorist’s version of Islam (with about as much connection to actual Islam as the Southern Baptists have to actual Christianity). They’re not our friends. Take Eastern Province where the oil is, give it to the Shia they oppress, and send these desert nomad barbarians back to their tents.
Does this suggest, imply or mean that Cuck Kushner, the United States Self-Fellatio Czar, was in on the conspiracy and approved the actions proposed by Mo Salman?
