    Latest report is that the recordings reveal Khashoggi had his fingers cut off with a bone saw off while he was alive.
    Then they injected him with a drug and cut off his head, while he was alive.

    Trump supports Saudi Arabia because...well, money.

    That's the thing nightmares are made of. That poor man.

    I remember when conservatives flipped out over Obama bowing to the Saudis after they did...well, nothing. But they're fine with their poster boy Trump remaining tight with the Saudis after this????

    This is beyond ridiculous.

    Saudi Arabia claims it was all just a silly mistake.
    Some unknown general got confused. Prince what's his name told him to detain Khashoggi but somehow the general thought he said dismember him.

    Perfectly innocent mistake, happens all the time.

    Pat Robertson says our arms deal is more important than bothering ourselves with such a silly thing like murdered journalists

    Founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network says arms deal is more important than Khashoggi

    I wish Jesus would come back and walk straight into the 700 Club and overturn his table

    "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

    Yeah because it's just one man, and how important can one man be...especially to a Christian, like they don't worship a man who was tortured and killed.

    Pat Robertson is a Christian in name only.

  10. I don't really see how Marinova, Kuciak and Caruana Galizia's death have anything to do with Trump.
    If anything, mentioning Trump in this context just takes away from what is really wrong in a lot of European countries...and it's been going on for years and years.
    Sure, Trump sucks but that shouldn't be the main issue here.

    I agree, it doesnt really have anything to do with him
    From an American perspective, of course we want a leader who will speak out and condemn the murder of journalists
    But it shouldnt always be about the American perspective. On behalf of Americans everywhere, I apologize for our more self centered tendencies

    Pat Robertson? I suppose some people are still giving that dick head some credibility. I'm going to assume that most christians act in a manner that befits that which keeps their faith strong and suppresses overt hypocrisy. But these phony--money grubbing, Trump loving , so-called religious beggars make me sick.
    To those who wish to have some kind of faithful relationship with their deity---go direct and quit supporting hypocritical phonies. Of course he thinks the money is more important than a few lives.

    It's really very simple. Trump has declared the free press to be the enemy of the people.
    Now, if anyone remembers Ronald Reagan:
    The U.S., at least in principle, embodied freedom and the rule of law to the entire world.
    Not under Trump.

    So here's how it happened.

    Khashoggi walked into the Saudi Arabian consulate and was met by fifteen men, one whom happens to be a bone cutting specialist.
    Being fifty nine years old, he gets into an argument with the fifteen younger guys.
    A fight ensues as apparently Khashoggi, full of vim and vinegar, feels he can whip them all.
    The fifteen men put up a heck of a fight but find they have to resort to a choke hold to subdue the fighting journalist from The Washington Post. The sheer weight of fifteen men piling on Khashoggi isn't enough to stop his fists from flying.

    As they proceed to choke him, he passes out...unnoticed, so they continue to choke him until he dies.
    Then in an apparent effort to prevent the dead man from punching them again, they cut off his fingers.
    No, wait, they did that before he died, probably while they were choking him.

    Seeing that he's now dead they have no choice but to cut him up into little pieces, for some reason, and then pretend the "accident" never happened.

    Trump seems to buy into that explanation.
    I mean what else could have happened?
    Things like this happen all the time.

    And some repubs, particularly on Fox ,are now trying to undercut any credibility Khashoggi had as a journalist and paint him as a "fake news" reporter. In other words------he may have deserved what happened to him. Disgusting, but par for the right wing.
    This is rough for repubs---sort of. Do we go with the immorality of the act---or do we go with making the money from the Saudis? Pfffft---no contest.

    Latest video from Turkey shows a body double named Mustafa al-Madani, entering and leaving the consulate.
    Mustafa al-Madani is a top Saudi intelligence officer.
    He is also shown entering a public restroom to change his clothes after the murder and is seen without his fake beard.
    He then deposits Khashoggi's clothes in a dumpster.

    He forgot to change his shoes.

    Trump is changing his tune somewhat.
    He now admits something is wrong, but still fully supports the prince.

    That really doesn't make him responsible for murders in Europe. It just makes him an asshole.

    Trump is the "leader" of the free world. Everything he does has an international impact.
    When he declares that the press is the enemy of the people, it has repercussions.
