The U.S. has taken another master. The Saudi’s will go untouched while Trump is in power. Elections do have consequences.

Wow, a bunch of them must have been Republicans.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a Trump ally, threatened to gum up the works of the Senate by withholding his vote on key items until the CIA briefs the full chamber."

 

[basquebromance]

Wow, a bunch of them must have been Republicans.

Mad Mike Lee, Ravenous Rand Paul, & Mean Marco Rubio voted for it

As they have under all prior Presidents. There is a reason for that, which you will never be able to understand.

 

[rightwinger]

We don’t need the Saudis......they need us

Let them do their own fighting

 

[Lesh]

Republicans standing up to Trump?

This ought to get interesting

 

[Marion Morrison]

And the House will propose no bills to that effect. Sad.

 

[McRocket]

Way to go Senate.

Maybe there is hope for U.S. politics after all.

Which previous presidents have ended our alliance with SA? There have been human rights violations from that nation for many years, not to mention how many of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. The US government has been ignoring the hardline Islamic stance of the SA government, the links to terrorism or covering up of terrorist acts, the mistreatment and human rights violations the country has been party to, since long before Trump ran for office. It was during Obama's presidency that the US became involved in the war in Yemen. The idea that it is only because Trump is in office that the government is willing to look the other way about Saudi actions is laughable.

Trump is, sadly, merely continuing the same turning-a-blind-eye that US presidents and the US government has been doing for decades.

 

[Lesh]

They aren't "ending the alliance".

They are punishing them for killing a journalist

 

[McRocket]

So...Trump has lost the House. And now the Senate won't bow down to him.

 

[rightwinger]

So...Trump has lost the House. And now the Seantr won't bow down to him.

Many senators are pissed over cowering to the Saudis

Very encouraging.

 

[fncceo]

Wasn't aware they needed our permission to go to war.

That is a new development.

When i see reports like this and I hear the pathetic excuses from Trump and his minions...it makes me think:

'So...if murdering/dismembering one guy will not change your mind about SA. How many do they have to murder before it will change your minds? GIve us a number?'
