President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He’s trying to play the middle like Ted Cruz in 2016 and failing

 

And when I refer to Trump, I always capitalize the word C*nt.

 

“He ran into that guy's bone saw. Ten times!”

 

Clown show.

 

In a secret interview, Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi spoke about the "reformist" prince implicated in his murder

It’s beyond irony that Saudi Arabia, whose chief exports are oil and extremism, is afforded the right in Washington to inform our government which democratic movements across the Arab world should be regarded as worthy allies or official enemies. Our addiction to oil, as well as to the tens of billions in annual orders by the largest customer of the U.S. arms industry, has led us to denial of the obvious.

For decades, we’ve refused to listen to those inside the kingdom who have been the regime’s victims—lawyers, liberal intellectuals, Shiite activists, women’s rights campaigners, journalists. Jamal saw through the hype when many in Washington were willing to buy the fable the young prince was selling.

After the execution in cold blood of a world-renowned Washington Post columnist for the crime of having an opinion, defense of the regime responsible is still permissible in polite society in the U.S. Canceling a few appearances or even a few defense contracts is not enough. It’s time for the U.S. Treasury to place wide-ranging sanctions on the kingdom. Playtime is over for the crown prince of public relations. It’s time for MBS to go. But not only MBS: It’s time to end the whole system of monarchic despotism of which he has been the most extreme symptom.

To answer your question, yes. Start with Paul Ryan and keep right on going with the R's.

 

Meme alert ... Any Dems blocking or repressing voters?

 

Hey Trumpists! Your man is clearly a tool of the Saudis. But you're scared of brown people, especially Muslims. WHAT DO YOU DO? WHERE DO YOU TURN?

You loser dupes. You got played so hard.

 

As others have said, Fucko bullies our longtime, trusted allies and sucks up to rivals, enemies and dictators.

What the fuck is up with that formula?

 

'We Call BS': As Saudi Arabia Claims Khashoggi Killed in 'Fistfight,' Trump White House Issues 'Laughably Weak' Response

Saudi Arabia's "explanation for the arbitrary execution of Jamal Khashoggi is just not plausible. No government should accept it," says U.N. special rapporteur on extra-judicial executions.

 

Khashoggi was what, late fifties? So he started a fistfight with 15 young guys, right?

Tough to fistfight when the first thing the other guy does is cut off your fingers. Hard to make a fist.

 

If there is anything resembling actual proof of this, it would be a story for a day and a half mebbe.
