The worms are turning: Lawmakers denounce Trump's backing of Saudis, despite Khashoggi killing

Stop with the idiotic bumper-sticker slogans already. Trump's interest is America, pure and simple.

If you don't want to be a part of it, then just leave.

Yep. Ayn Rand fan based on handle. Subtle. Personally, I found Atlas Shrugged to be a tedious work of art to get through. Felt like it was written from the perspective of a 7th grader. The Fountainhead was infinitely better, IMO.

Don't know, having never read the book. Personally, I think that reading tedious books is for faggots.

But I do know the very mention of "Galt" causes anal-obsessed liberals to foam at the mouth and chew their toes off, so it's all roses and sunshine in my world.

Trumpland is like that. Donald Trump drops his trousers and his faithful bask in the light.

Seem that we're not the ones who are on the receiving end of his Magnificent Orange Shaft.

How's it feel? Only six more years to go. :laughing0301:

Donald Trump will serve two terms. One in office and one in prison.

More echo chamber nonsense. You need a refresher course in American History...

 
Who gives a shit.
Ethical people and intelligent people. Ethical people aren't comfortable supporting evil. And intelligent people have seen our track record of propping up dictators. They know the cost.
The cost includes terrorist regimes in the Middle East, Americans dying in pointless wars and "caravans of invaders" at the southern border.

You need a refresher course in the present. With your head in the sand of the past and your butt facing the present, you are very exposed.
 
Lawmakers, even GOP lawmakers are sickened by Trump's alliance and defense of a man that the CIA has denounced as a murderer.

Donald Trump has no morals or ethics, but lawmakers are resiling from traveling down the dark hole with Donald Trump.

Let us hope that Satan's slave, Jared Kushner, is pushed out of the White House by the movement against Trump and the Saudis.

American's are embarrassed by Trump's association and defense of a murderer.

Lawmakers denounce Trump's backing of Saudis, despite Khashoggi killing

Lawmakers denounce Trump's backing of Saudis, despite Khashoggi killing

The White House's pledge to maintain its strong military and economic alliance with Saudi Arabia amid reports that U.S. intelligence has assessed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the gruesome murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, has ignited a flurry of bipartisan condemnation in Washington.
After President Trump issued a remarkable statement on Tuesday in which he acknowledged that the heir apparent to the Saudi throne may have known about the "tragic event," but that his administration nevertheless "intended to remain a steadfast partner of Saudi Arabia," several Republican and Democratic members of Congress denounced the White House's position.
"I'm pretty sure this statement is Saudi Arabia First, not America First," Republican Sen. Rand Paul, an ally of the president but ardent critic of America's relationship with the Saudis, wrote on Twitter.
The lawmaker from Kentucky accused National Security Adviser and foreign policy hawk John Bolton of writing the statement and criticized American assistance to the Saudi-led coalition waging a bloody war against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
"We should, at the very least, NOT reward Saudi Arabia with our sophisticated armaments that they in turn use to bomb civilians," Paul added.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who has largely embraced the administration's doctrine across the world, wrote on Twitter that "our foreign policy must be about promoting our national interests." The junior senator from Florida stressed that defending human rights is vital to America's national security because human rights violations fuel "mass migration," foster extremism and benefit governments hostile to the U.S.
In a statement, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the U.S. can't overlook Khashoggi's high-profile killing and alleged dismemberment, and suggested that there was bipartisan support among lawmakers to sanction individuals involved in the assassination, including members of the royal family.
"While Saudi Arabia is a strategic ally, the behavior of the Crown Prince – in multiple ways – has shown disrespect for the relationship and made him, in my view, beyond toxic," Graham added.
Constant Trump critics Sen. Jeff Flake and Sen. Bob Corker also condemned the statement. The retiring senator from Arizona said "great allies" don't lure their own citizens into a trap, and then have them killed.
"I never thought I'd see the day a White House would moonlight as a public relations firm for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia," Corker, who is also retiring, wrote on Twitter.
In his statement, President Trump touted Saudi Arabia's important role in America's national security apparatus and the billions of dollars he said the U.S has received in arms transactions with the royal family. He said U.S. intelligence agencies are still probing Khashoggi's murder. "Maybe he did and maybe he didn't!" President Trump said in a statement, referring to the possibility that the Saudi Crown Prince ordered the journalist's brutal killing.
Meanwhile, Democrats — who will have control of important House committees that could potentially investigate Khashoggi's assassination and the U.S.-Saudi alliance — were more scathing in their criticism and directly referenced the president.
"The President's failure to hold Saudi Arabia responsible in any meaningful way for the death of Jamal Khashoggi is just one more example of this White House's retreat from American leadership on issues like human rights and protecting the free press," the vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said in a statement.
Although he said the government should always consider the U.S.' close cooperation with the oil-rich kingdom, Congressman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., accused President Trump of damaging America's "standing as a champion of human rights."
"To suggest 'maybe he did and maybe he didn't' or that we are incapable of finding out the truth, or that knowing the truth our silence can be bought with arms sales, undermines respect for the Office of the Presidency," Schiff said.
After labeling President Trump's response a "betrayal of long-established American values of respect for human rights," Fred Ryan, the publisher and CEO of the Washington Post, the newspaper for which Khashoggi penned opinion pieces, called on the administration to make the intelligence evidence on the murder public and urged Congress to act in the wake of "failure of leadership" from the White House.
"President Trump is correct in saying the world is a very dangerous place," Ryan said in a statement. "His surrender to this state-ordered murder will only make it more so. An innocent man, brutally slain, deserves better, as does the cause of truth and justice and human rights."

No one cares. Lol. O supported tons of third world murderers and somehow we're supposed to give a crap now? Yeah, whatever.

'Cept you, snowflake. Your whataboutism gives you up every time, sorry about that.

Nope, the left told us we weren't supposed to care when Hussein was gassing up the Kurds. Your hand wringing and sob story emotions fall on deaf ears. Go cry elesewhere. No one cares.

Using gas supplied by the USA.

Okay. Where's the proof of that? Links, buddy. That's kinda how we roll around here. Have you read the TOS?

And many more...

US Presidents have quite a long history supporting genocidal, brutal, terrorist dictators....even Barry.

It is easier for the Libtards and Trump haters to ignore that history and pile on now...
 
I fail to see how any of this is our business
What are you talking about?

You mean that a long time US Resident and US Journalist with three American born children who was lured, tortured, murdered and dismembered is none of our business? Do you think his American children would agree or disagree?

Did I get that right?

He wasn’t an American citizen nor was he killed on American soil. This kind of shit has gone on in the Middle East for thousands of years. Millions of people throughout that part of the world are oppressed every single day. Funny how you only care when you can make a political point out of it

I'm glad you asked:

The Secret Casualties of Iraq’s Abandoned Chemical Weapons

American Firms’ Supplying Iraq’s Chemical Weapons Production

... Others pointed to another embarrassment. In five of six incidents in which troops were wounded by chemical agents, the munitions appeared to have been designed in the United States, manufactured in Europe and filled in chemical agent production lines built in Iraq by Western companies.

Trump has been defending a murderer, Mohammed Bin Salman because Trump personally stands to profit from his relationship.

Trump first, USA whenever it suits.
