Trump says US stands with Saudi Arabia despite journalist Khashoggi’s killing
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/20/trump-s ... lling.html
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the U.S. stands with Saudi Arabia in the wake of the slaying of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

In a lengthy statement — punctuated with eight exclamation points — Trump said that “we may never know all of the facts surrounding” Khashoggi’s death, but “our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

Trump said that U.S. intelligence agencies are still assessing all the information surrounding the killing of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and critic of the Saudi royal family, in the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul in October.

The Washington Post reported Friday that the CIA had concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself had ordered the assassination of Khashoggi, citing people familiar with the matter.

Trump told reporters Saturday that a “very full report” will be coming by Tuesday on the investigation by the U.S. But in his statement Tuesday, Trump appeared to cast doubt that the U.S. probe of the matter was complete.

“It could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event,” Trump said in the statement, though “maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!”

In remarks outside the White House before departing for the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump said the CIA had “nothing definitive” on the crown prince’s involvement.
The president’s written statement sparked a bipartisan backlash among congressional lawmakers.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in a statement that Trump’s apparent decision not to punish the Saudi crown prince “is offensive to every value the United States holds dear.”

Feinstein said she plans to vote against future arms sales and appropriation to Saudi Arabia, and called for sanctions against the crown prince and the removal of the Saudi ambassador to the U.S.
I'm gonna let y'all in on a secret- I voted for Dianne Feinstein in the mid-terms.

The U.S. isn’t the world’s policeman. Britain can deal with Russians, Turkey might (?) be the only ones who cared if a Saudi citizen was killed by the Saudi government on Saudi soil because it was in Turkey.
I wanted to add that the king is the ultimate authority in SA and he said to kill a Saudi citizen on Saudi soil. Why THIS issue, of all the SA bullshit, do Americans get upset about?

Probably because someone figured this could be used against Trump in some way.

Since the Midterms are over, I can now troll FB again without getting fucking brigaded. The Left's tactic is to constantly harp on this stuff; and I constantly reply logically. Rarely does anyone go past 2 posts against me. If everybody on my side did the same thing, we could shut this shit down. The people on the other side are losers and misfits, and often outright stupid; it's easy to beat them up online 1-on-1.
