Feeling Rebloggy
Last week, the CIA reportedly determined that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman [who is NOT the leader of his country YET] ordered Khashoggi’s murder. Yesterday, Trump said, “maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!”
...The president issued an unapologetic defense of the kingdom in response to the death of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who was killed inside the Saudi Consulate in Turkey.

Trump cited the need to maintain billions of dollars’ worth of arms deals with Saudi Arabia as the reason for his stance.
He said, “If we foolishly cancel these contracts, Russia and China would be the enormous beneficiaries — and very happy to acquire all of this newfound business.”
I am sickened to say that the only thing I actually find semi-shocking about this is that lizard brain didn't insist on wearing his maggot hat while issuing this reprehensible statement. The fact that his handlers cannot keep the muzzle over his his mouth is no longer even vaguely surprising.
I mean, it's not other U.S. Presidents wouldn't have found a way to keep that arms deal in place.
But I think any one of them would have had the fake-decency to pretend to care about the vicious torture and murder of a man that had been living here in the U.S. And I'm thinking most of them would have had the brain cells to know that had to, at least, let it be known that the U.S. thinks the King in Saudi Arabia should choose a different son to take over when he's gone.
The impact of Trump is going to last for decades and decades if he doesn't completely destroy what's left of the democracy before he goes.
