Giving deference to a murderer should be grounds for impeachment. He has just made the United States a less safe place for Americans abroad and at home. He just ogles and drools all over these dictators.
The "things happen" president is not an accomplished thinker or speaker and can only see things in three colors--black, white, and green. Besides not wanting any kind of embarrassment to overshadow his dominance on camera (ask Mary Trump about the "legendary mashed potato" incident), he does not want any pesky murder charge getting in the way of his "deal" for an imaginary trillion dollars. That was supposed to be the focus of the photo op--the money. Thanks to the impertinent journalist, Trump's ham-handed rebuke became the focus. Fail.
Granted, President Biden muddied the waters by agreeing to deal with Salman, but Trump’s slavering after the prince and his petrodollars was simply obscene. And of course, not a word on principle from his sycophants in the GOP. Welcome to Trump’s America!
There are so flippin' many reasons . . . why can't he be impeached? Are Republicans AND Democrats so complicit in the development of an despot-driven oligarchy that they don't care about their constituents? Or even their own, ultimate, imprisonment in the resulting fascist state? I see there are some (at least 9) Dems actively working to preserve what's left of our Constitutional Rights, but . . . I'm terrified of what my grandchildren are going to inherit.
"That is not simply moral depravity. It is complicity." A very succinct description. This depraved president cannot bear to be questioned or look bad in hosting a murderer with open arms. So he goes beyond the pale in lashing out and in defending. "Disgusting" is the best I can say on this travesty.
Thank you for some background on the rather flippant response Trump gave regarding a horrible murder of an American citizen ordered by the "guest" crown prince.
I can't count the number of times since 1-20-2025 I have had to repeat, IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY.
It is inevitable that at some point there will be countless investigations that will come up with a most preposterous total of money that Trump, his Cabinet members, family, business cronies, and untold others with inside information have made. If the total only included the behind the scenes bribes, "campaign" contributions and prior inside knowledge of Tariff manipulation to know when to buy and sell stocks and holdings the figure would be astronomical. We've already heard estimates in the billions that Eric and Jr. have made in cryptocurrency deals. It is an absolute mockery of the Emoluments Clause.

He also likes another color, gold. Gold represents wealth and status to him.

Biden's decision was likely pragmatic. I don't think Biden brushed aside MBS' role in Khashoggi's murder.
I agree, but it was a bad look, in any case.
Not a good look. The Saudis are problematic allies

What an excellent analysis
My only hope is that the AI scanner will get confused and instead of my face, try to analyze the chicken’s.
