Hi y'all. The president is engaging in a murder cover up to protect cash flows from the House of Saud.

Trump says he doesn't want to abandon Riyadh in crisis over journalist
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he does not want to walk away from Saudi Arabia despite concerns about a missing Saudi journalist, as pressure mounted on the kingdom to answer Turkish allegations he was killed in Istanbul.


Whomever planned the execution of Jamal Khashoggi did a lousy job by leaving so many obvious clues. Everything from the 15 man hit team arriving at the airport to the murder site and dismembering and disappearing his body. Putin is much more efficient, he uses a sniper or poison or a shove from a balcony. 

Thank you, Donald J. Trump, for comparing the Saudi murderers to Brett Kavanaugh. I couldn't think of a more apt analogy. - Andy Borowitz

Vance, a Democrat, once refused to bring criminal charges against Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. in an alleged real estate scam. The Trump children were facing charges of fraud for allegedly lying about the number of condos that had been sold in one of their properties.

Uh Oh. People Who Read and Write Are Suing Trump
In the three years that Donald Trump rocketed from candidate to president, the PEN American Center has criticized him as a bully, an autocrat, a user of hate speech and an enemy of free expression. It has published studies, organized petitions and established a Press Freedom Incentive Fund.
Now the literary and human rights organization, which includes thousands of authors and journalists, is taking a more direct step: PEN is suing the president.

Can The Tax Cut Be Uncut?
The numbers are in, and Trump’s tax cut didn’t reduce the deficit – despite his many promises.
On the campaign trail, Trump first proposed a $10 trillion tax cut, far larger than any Republican rival’s, but insisted it wouldn’t boost the federal budget deficit because the economy would “take off like a rocket ship.”

Pompeo arrives and departs Saudi Arabia's Royal Court

Trump and Saudi Arabia: Deep business ties spark new scrutiny
He has booked hotel rooms and meeting spaces to them, sold an entire floor in one of his buildings to them and, in desperate moments in his career, gotten a billionaire from the country to buy his yacht and New York's Plaza Hotel overlooking Central Park.
President Donald Trump's ties to Saudi Arabia run long and deep, and he's often boasted about his business ties with the kingdom.
"I love the Saudis," Mr. Trump said when announcing his presidential run at Trump Tower in 2015. "Many are in this building."


I am so surprised a country that beheads people in public would dismember a Washington Post journalist.


US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s meeting with Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia lasted no more than 15 minutes, CNN estimates based on the time the top U.S. diplomat’s motorcade arrived at the royal court and departed. - Jim Sciutto, CNN

Friends, I Believe We Are Living In A Real Live Pixelated Spy Novel
Last week, in an effort to beat back accusations that she has lied about her identity, Simona Mangiante provided ABC News with a photograph of her Italian passport.
But rather than quiet widespread speculation that the wife of the former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos was perhaps not who she presented herself to be, that passport photo has now raised more questions than it has answered.

We all know why @realDonaldTrump makes creepy physical threats about me, right? He’s scared.

It may soothe his ego – but it won’t work. - Elizabeth Warren


Ted Cruz & Trump. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Trump said he would hold a rally for Ted Cruz in Texas’ ‘Biggest Stadium’. The venue he booked is not even close. With Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) facing an ongoing threat from El Paso Rep. Beto O’Rourke, President Donald Trump said in August that he would come to the Lone Star State to hold a rally for the embattled far-right senator.
