I love how the Never Trumpers, and the assorted brain dead, in Conservative Inc are so willing to be the internet propaganda stooges of the Russians and the Iranians

Yo moron choir history lesson time for you

During WW2 we did business with a mass murdering thug Stalin to keep a worse mass murdering thug Hitler, from taking over the world.

We do business with bad people all over the world to keep worse people in check

Grow up finally! These histrionics indicate a level of infantile political stupidity that is simply inexcusable is suppose rational adults

Also, THIS hysteric hyperventilating about a total non issue rather then fighting to educate voter right before a critical mid term election about who the Left really is, is another example of why “Conservative inc” has been the inept, incompetent political movement in US History.

What is disgusting is that supposed “conservatives” are racing around the web being the willing propaganda bots of the Iranians and the Russians

Are you really this politically stupid?

They never miss an opportunity to undermine POTUS. 2016 showed they prefer progressive Democrats (Hillary SCOTUS, etc.) to Main Street conservatives. Trump is holding the GOP wing of the uniparty together with baling wire. These arrogant beltway “conservative: elitists have no idea how close they are to burning down the GOP.

RE: Why is the murder of a Muslim Brotherhood enabler/apologist/supporter any kind of “problem” for US?

Should we then say — We don’t care what Saudi Arabia did, relationship with the country continues as if nothing happened.

Can you elaborate further as to what part of his column you disagree with?

This drum is about Deep State and Neocons wanting power.


This isn’t really about Saudi. This is about weakening Trump’s foreign policy and him losing in 2020. Guys like Goldberg would much rather have the kenyan 2.0 in the White House than Trump.

The answer is: pull all the Saudi visas except for the ambassador and his staff. Solves two issues with one move.
The dems will say to soft. The Saudis will say too harsh. So Trump can say just right.

The Saudis are not financing and supporting terrorist groups killing Americans in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan

The Saudis are not actively harassing US shipping in the Persian Gulf

The Saudis are not developing nuclear weapon capacity.

Iran is.

So it is past time “Conservative Inc” stop being the mindless propaganda drones of the Iranians and focus on who are the real enemies of the USA.

He is probably in hell.

But as a member of a terrorist organization he was always a legitimate military target. And running around not even wearing a uniform of any sort.

Sorry, I reject the notion that killing military targets is murder, no matter how many idiots (George W. was the first time I can recall an actual sitting American president embrace that nonsense - even Jimmy Carter wouldn't go there before he retired) want to whoop and hollar about it folks who die in war are casualties of war not murder victims.

Kashoggi lost. Happens.

One more associate of Osama Bin Laden takes a permanent dirt nap.
Boo hoo.

I do not care that terrorist supporter Khashoggi was brutally murdered. He got what he deserved.

Trump’s foreign policy and him losing in 2020.

When Trump wins in the biggest landslide in the history of America, will they feel like open season on Conservatives?

Stoopid people, in America behind every blade of grass....

Pinochet saved Chile from Marxism. Sort of messy but it worked.

Murdered?

Closer to sentence carried out, or casualty of war. Or, kind of like how our CIA assets in China were murdered when Killary was SoS.

We’re not “politically stupid”. We don’t take well to having our memories revived of whom was responsible for 911. And it wasn’t the Russians, Iranians, or Syrians.

You make some sense. Most of the other defenders of Saudi Arabia don’t. The Saudi prince could do what President Trunp can’t.....fire his Secret Service. It still doesn’t change that Iran, Syria, and Russia are not the bad guys. Or that we’re tied to Turkey by NATO membership. Or that the Saudis have too much control over our politicians, economic well being, and foreign policy.
