Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

Conservative, Republicans par excellence Lord Dampnut has no problems consorting with murderous dictators and tyrants. I think he rather admires them, in the same he said he admires China's President Xi for ruling "with an iron fist." Fascists are like that. They don't mind a bit of violence.
Bottom line - Trump is a psychopath who craves control over the lives of others. Supports genocide, intentional negligence and hopes to one day to push someone out a window.

This is not news, and a big mistake was made when Biden chose not to break ties with the terrorist states of Saudi Arabia and Israel and instead continue to arm them/abet their war crimes.
2018 Kushner & MBS had a late Oct meeting in Riyadh
A week later, MBS began an “anti-corruption crackdown” ... among them Saudi figures named in a daily classified brief read by the president and his closest advisers, which Kushner read avidly before he lost his top-secret security clearance in Feb
Imagine what a shitty government you'd have to be to direct someone to an official office for a required document, and then kidnap them ... oh ... yeah. FUUCK.
He also got really pissy a few months later when a reporter asked about Khashoggi. 45 had to be reminded who he was, then bitched "that was like three months ago."

Lured to the Saudi consulate, Istanbul. Garotted. Struggled for life. Killed. dismembered with a bone saw & then parts dissolved in acid bath. # MBS ordered it.
#JaredKushner knew all about it & said ‘MBS ought to make sure the hit men are silenced’…
Biden is old but he had competent people working with him. He would have been a better president than Trump. Kamala was well prepared to be president. Still think Trump was given too much free press. Also think he fixed the election somehow. Not logical how he won.
What abt budget? What abt Library of Congress? Uranium mines in Utah? The National Firefighter Fatality Investigation Pgm, Coal Health Pgm, Z-ck under investigation wk'g w/ China? Spacex taking over? Loss of Fema? Roughing up Congress? Arresting mayor's and judges? Close of dozens of military bases?
Plus it was Saudi Arabia that were 100% responsible for 911 to even being associated with them people don't look good any society that would put a person on the ground on all fours and chase them around till they can chop his head off are a sick society they murdered 3000 Americans on 911
Our president, who represents America and is an elected official, has become a beggar and will do anything for more wealth … including accepting the gift of an American plane from the sheikh of the tiny-tiny island of who knows what; who also bribed FIFA. We are putting cheap prostitutes to shame.
Speaks volumes that Trump is so comfortable not only with the man (Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman) who ordered the murder and mutilation of Khashoggi, but with the country (Qatar) that provided Hamas with a some $1.8 billion in direct funding (not to be confused with its aid to Gaza).
And a big part of why October 7 happened was that Biden was dead set on normalizing relationships between Israel and Saudi Arabia—without demanding rights for Palestine. Both parties have failed us.
Made me nauseous watching Trump stand there,with bin Salman, shaking hands with all the Saudi men. Knowing that bin Salman had #JamalKhashoggi murdered and dismembered. Jeff Bezos was there. Ugh.
Trump undoubtedly gave his approval, if not his blessing. At the time Khashoggi was a resident and writing about the Prince and Kushners and shady dealings.
Let's also not forget that 15 of 19 September 11th terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one was from Egypt.
maybe the plane is also a belated thank you for not interfering with the slaughter of Khashoggi or investigating the role Jared Kushner played in that exchange

Trump has an open invite to RUS/UKR peace talks in Istanbul. Thinks he has Zelensky over a barrel.
Nice if there were a few more surprises to come.

Donald Trump and his whole administration is totally incompetent, disgraceful and detestable! Our country has become an embarrassment. Further, every single Republican in Congress is an utter coward and political hack! They are spineless minions and should go straight to hell! Sickening...🤮
We have a strategic interest in having a good relationships with Saudi Arabia. That is why even Obama sold them hundreds of billions in weapons. They are a counterweight to Iran. Trump is doing the right thing here
Trump has no concept of where SA is geopolitically. His attention doesn't extend past his own person. He backed MBS in exchange for the $2 billion incoming bribe to his son-in-law.
The Crown Prince, aka "Bone Saw", is never to be trusted, and didn't Jared (allegedly) sell out Khashoggi? So this is the most unholy alliance you can get.
Yes they are. Reportedly Kushner shared US intelligence with MBS allowing him to identify opponents to take out. Never forget that it was Saudis who were responsible for 9/11 and GWB gave the royals free passage out of the country when all other flights were grounded. The corruption goes way back.
You’d have thought the free speech warriors would be against murdering someone for their speech, and against the people currently in prison there for a decade plus for mildly criticising the regime, they do it when someone tried to encourage people to murder migrants online and got imprisoned

Trump is envious of such absolute power.

Today’s reason must be new, but it’s a grift. Nothing else.

The early reports that circulated were, in some ways, worse.
Monsters.
Tony Blair is close pals with Mohammed bin Salman
The media put us here.
And also the people working hardest to help trump win the election were all employed by major media outlets.
- jake tapper, probably
If you remember, on 9/11, all aircraft in/over the US were grounded immediately.
But George W. allowed private planes carrying Saudi family members to depart that very day.
Ohhhhh. Well shit.
Never forget . . .

paid for info about Khashoggi.
quid pro quo.

Schedule a required meeting for an immigration check-in, end up on a flight to a concentration camp in El Salvador.

Still, they’ll probably bribe him since he’s a useful idiot to them
But Russian bots didn't vote for Trump.
Americans did.
I don't like it, but it's true. Dismissing people as a Russian bot doesn't help.
I mean, it's not as bad as Democrats supporting Trump policies, but still.
He's not a Russian bot.
He's just your ordinary coward.
Plenty of people.
I've seen MANY Democrat supporters so the same.
Are they also Russian bots?
Just question.
I can provide examples of you'd like.
Again, Trump sucks. His supporters suck. So I'm not trying to shill for this guy.

Fundamentally though, they’re both cowards, because they order other people to do the dirty work for them.
