Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen working as a political exile in America for the Washington Post, is murdered and dismembered on orders of the Saudi Prince and our Dear Leader barely questions or criticizes his buddy C. P. Salmon!  Of course not, the Prince is his ''friend'' who gave him a military parade and put up his picture all over Riyadh and who plans to spend billions of dollars buying American weapons to prop up the authoritarian Saudi regime and to use to kill fellow Muslims!

This administration has the moral authority equivalent to that held by the Saudis.  This is SICK!

Besides your distortion, all people are reasonably concerned about these purported events, yet to be verified.  But why are you so exorcised about a foreigner?  

But the larger question is when will we quit importing oil since we are now the largest producer and could eliminate all oil imports and export the excess?  Let these Middle East folks wipe each other off.  It is none of our business (other than traditional oil imports)

You hate for this administration is obvious and any rationality is lost.  Have a great evening.

1/   Why are you so ''reasonably unconcerned'' about our president's being so unconcerned about a thugish and morally corrupt government's murder of a human being who had received welcome asylum in America...even if he was a mere ''foreigner''?

2/   Would you have the same ''unconcern'' if Barack Obama had shown the same lack of outrage as that shown by Donald Trump today?

3/   Do you consider my ''hatred'' of the Trump administration greater or less than your ''hatred'' of the previous admisistartion?

So if we refuse to sell them weapons where do you think they might go shopping? Nothing is black and white as you so naively think, or at least post.

Let me have a whack at answering your three questions.

First, that government is the same that your messianic wonder, my stutteringclusterphuggofamiserable failure, bowed to.

Second, my level of concern toward those folks, any and all of them, is unchanged since 9/11

Third, actions of the last administration inflicted direct financial pain on me and my family through more burdensome FDA regs, EPA regs, imposition of "floor taxes", DoL reporting requirements, support for DoddFrank and the impact of the laughingly named affordable care act. That is a short list of stuff with direct impact. If I employ a more global look, other issues that resulted in negative impact were his assertions of racism in law enforcement, his administrations efforts to destroy 2A through optics with fast and furious and ammo restrictions, his encouraging physical response to political disagreements, his telling illegals to vote, his IRS targeting conservative political groups, his Dept of Ag bankrupting rabbit farmers, his department of Education denying fundamental rights of male students with its Title IX "guidance", but ultimately, having never been employed in the private sector, he and the dude he married managed to increase their net worth by $60,000,000 over the last 13 years. At times, I thoroughly despised former President Kenya Kona Blend. The rest of the time, I prayed for someone that would put the brakes on the these follies, to lead us in a restorative and responsible direction. It looks to me like President Trump is a prayer answered. 

Your spitting and sputtering is damn near comical. I dont think we've ever met but I don't let that stop me from imagining you sporting the pink pussy hat at any number of protests on any number of issues. You should chill as it appears you are approaching the threshold for the use of helemt and physical restraints. Best to you and the fellow travellers in that little politi-centric yet deranged world

Hmmmm. Seems to me when conservatives compare Trump's performance to Obama we get met with "but Obama isn't president any more". Find your binky and suck on it.  Maybe your rage will subside.

Spoken like a true masochist.  Does JB diddle with psychiatry?  He might need to start close to the apple tree.

GF, I can visit on ocassion, but can't hang out. Some of these folks are just too hateful. Many of the personal attacks are directed toward you. Stupid and juvenile chit, it bothers me, so I stay away. Am I still the only one that knows you have that autographed poster of Sara Palin in a bathing suit on the wall in your garage?

First of all, I don't think anything has been proven - what happened is pure speculation on the part of the media.  

Second, Trump will not cancel the weapons sales for several reasons - Saudi is a high reliable partner in the Mid-East, cancelling weapon systems means U.S. Defense industry jobs are lost - not just on the weapons themselves, but all the support for the future and will have a severe impact not only on jobs, but on maintaining a warm production base, and economies of scale for our own military - to wit, our military is dependent on others buying our weapons systems, so we can afford to buy them too.  And the Saudis require addtional things - like building infrasture in the Kingdom - as part of their weapons contracts and that provides additional money and jobs for the non-military sector.  

As Hodja points out, if we don't sell our equipment, Saudis may decide to take their dollars elsewhere - one of the reasons we sell weapons to other countries is so that they maintain commonality with U.S. systems - which is a benefit if we need to fight to gether, they increase our spares buys (back to economies of scale again), we provide training on the systems, and OBTW, while we are providing training, they also get a darn good look at what America is all about.  We do not want Russia or China in there, with the Saudis buying their equipment instead of ours.  Do you even have any idea how many Americans are living in American compounds in SA and helping them with their military planning, maintaining and buying?  They might be asked to leave the Kingdom.  

Additionally, never forget that what is playing out in public when it involves the Saudis, is what is really going on behind the scenes.  we might very well impose some sort of sanctions or penalty on Saudi Arbia that is never publicized.  We have a very complex relationship with the Kingdom and it's leadership, and it is not always what it seems.  

Don't forget that Embassies are the property of the country that inhabits them, so technically, if the guy was killed in the Saudi embassy in Turkey, he was killed on the soil of the Saudi government.  

You are having the typical knee jerk reaction of the uninformed.  This is a State Department issue and not Pompaeos first rodeo.
