The Deep State hates the new prince. Just saying.

Khashoggi was an Islamist. I don’t think anyone SHOULD be murdered but it’s something that happens all of the time over there for political reasons and the world might just be a better place with one less WaPo columnist calling for the subjugation of women and Sharia Law.

Additionally, Saudi Arabia has agreed to spend billions of dollars in leading the fight against Radical Islamic Terrorism.

That to me is something I would not believe.
Spreading Sunni Islamic terrorism is what believing Muslims should be doing. -Tom

Within living memory we have had presidents who have murdered their personnel rivals. Who are we to judge the Saudis ?

I guess you haven’t been paying much attention to Trump’s dealings with MbS nor what has been happening in S.A.

"The Deep State hates the new prince. Just saying."

ABSOLUTELY that is what this is ALL about.. The Deep State's global cabal ATTEMPTING TO SABOTAGE TRUMP'S RELATIONSHIP WITH PRICE SALMAN.

The Deep State are TOTAL HYPOCRITES.. PERHAPS SAUDI ARABIA SHOULD STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OBAMA AND HILLARY'S FBI MURDERED SETH RICH!!!

SETH RICH, SETH RICH, SETH RICH!!!!!!!... CRICKETS!!!!

Think about it.. THE FBI SHOT SETH RICH DEAD THEN REPORTED THE HANDGUN THEY SHOT HIM WITH STOLEN THAT VERY SAME NIGHT OBAMA AND HILLARY ORDERED THE HIT BUT THE MEDIA AND THE WORLD GOES SILENT.

SETH RICH was an American citizen! Khashoggi was NOT an American citizen!

WHY IS KHASHOGGI'S MURDER MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN RICH'S???!!!

So what if the deep state perpetrated this murder for the entire purpose of driving a wedge between SA and the US?

I trust the CIA’s judgment about as much as I do the ACLU or SPLC.

I find his statement pretty disheartening. Isn’t it basically, “we get a lot of money from the Saudis so, we are okay with whatever they say or do. Those starving Yemenis, Iran, Syria, blah,blah, blah whataboutism.”

I really don’t think America First means the USA dances to whatever tune that Saudi Arabia or Israel plays.

Think about the ramifications of a power vacuum in Saudi Arabia and what/who would fil it
Think of the collapse of a counter power containing Iran
Think about the collapse of a major player in global finance
Think about the collapse of the center of world energy markets
Think about the collapse of a power that has been quietly pragmatic about the role of Israel vs the Palestinians

Every power that is malign to the USA would welcome all of the above

...then you would agree that the world stop doing business with the U.S. government because Team Obama w/Hillary had Seth Rich murdered?

Yep. That’s about the size of it. Actually I don’t have a problem with it nor have I ever had a problem with it as long as it is in our national interests.

This is very cagey. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. They are having me but if he’s treating them like a friend that’s fine because they are useful and he keeps them in check and uses them. That’s fine by me. He also uses them against worse enemies.

I stand with President Trump and I don’t give a damn what the corrupt CIA or corrupt FBI has to say about this or ANYTHING else.

Jamal Khashoggi, was just another reporter and like most, will not be missed by me.

Yeah, that is sadly the majority response.

But Occasional-Kotex will save us from global warming and capitalism, and isn’t that what’s really important? /s
