Federal law enforcement is currently investigating the deadly shooting at the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida as an act of terrorism, the FBI said on Sunday.
A terrorist attack on American soil, perpetrated, yet again, by Saudis. This is the “T” word Trump dreads because it’s not going to be good enough now to wash the blood away with Saudi cash. It won’t do to sweep this under the rug like Khashoggi’s torture and murder. It’s time the Saudis faced a real reckoning…or do we just not stand for anything beyond cash anymore?
Has he even memorialized our dead sailors yet beyond perfunctory statements and PR messaging on behalf of KSA?
al-Shamrani I heard a report that he was viewing mass shootings on Youtube, and even held a party for his friends to watch. Who does that? Why didn’t the other students report this?
Or maybe if he has been in the US for more than 6 months he thought everyone always had a mass shooting experience.
This is Matt Gaetz’s district and he’s demanding a full investigation by the Saudis. Seeing how the Saudis handled the savage murder of Kashoggi and seeing how Trump’s family is doing business with the royal family, Gaetz’s demands might be meaningless.
Any ordinary Presidency and this, plus Trump’s ham-handed response-with-cash, would doom it.
But the U.S. Presidency never had a Cult and its own Propaganda network before.
Well meaningless from a nitwit leaves us with what?
Unless we stop aiding and abetting the Saudis in their war in Yemen, pull our troop back from protecting their oil fields, then what will we do? Can’t wait to hear the distinguished Republican James Risch, head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, have answer for this.
Why would he want the Saudis to investigate when they have a vested interest in the outcome and the terrorist act occurred not just on American soil, but a naval base, no less? Just to whitewash the whole thing.
[shrug] I cannot explain the actions of an man like Gaetz. He’s not only an A-hole, he’s a politician to boot.
Mass Shooting. If Muslims involved then it’s terrorism. If perpetrators are white Christians then it’s Mental Health. Muslims are not allowed to go crazy.
So Ukraine will do the investigation?
Only if they implicate Biden.
By “investigation,” Gaetz means he wants a giant bribe.
Must not be “radical Islamic terrorism” since no one’s using that term. Remember that.
The Saudis have completed their investigation and have determined that this shooting is a joint Biden/Ukraine conspiracy to make Trump look bad.
odd. This happened on an American military base. Americans died yet no one is blaming the Sec. of Defense and demanding hearings. Did he issue a Stand Down order?
If this is how “extreme vetting” works I think there are still a few kinks to iron out.
Of all of the despicable and craven things Trump has done and said, his apparent feeling that rich Saudis paying off American survivors of a shooting is something to be commended may be the most disturbing this I have ever heard a president do or say in my lifetime. I don’t have the words to express how profoundly awful this truly is.
A whole new level of transactional. While he is at it, maybe he can get them to write a big check for 9/11.
I am quite sure they already did, way back when.
Saudi terrorists attacked us, so…we need to hit Iran, NOW!
Does the FBI really investigate all mass shootings as acts of terrorism? Because I haven’t heard a lot about them questioning dominionists or NRA copywriters.
