trump sending pompeo to saudi arabia to do...........what?

get a photo op with the king to show everything is just A-Okay?

this is absurd.

trump could have leveled with the king on the phone....told him the repercussions if they're complicity is proven

pompeo is global political theater....

Maybe Khashoggi is still alive and being held in the most dastardly manner..or maybe dismembered and taken out in briefcases, as the "turks" have suggest, or, as the spinning room decided, someone went "rogue"...and the BS artist, being such a good puppet, classifies it under unknown, case closed...

..all that he touches, all who he touches, turns to shit!!!!

Nov 6th can't get here soon enough.

What Pompeo wants is a war with Iran so this mess MBS created for Trump is something they want to make go away.

I have no clue if they can get the investment class to ignore this and so far they seem to be united against the Saudis. How long it lasts and what excuse/punishment they'll accept is just a guess at this point.
