Is it just me or does it seem like the president of the United States is an active participant in a murder coverup?

(6,045 posts)I 99% sure this Saudi Prince has extremely damaging info Jared & maybe even Trump when it comes to finances & possibly the election!!
This is why the punk ass prince is acting the way he is acting!!
...There is still a huge unanswered question as to why TRUMP chose to go to Saudi Arabia first as POTUS!!

The fascists, the GOP (redundant) CAREFULLY coordinate their messaging thru:
Senate staffers (like Babs Ledeen and that punk who quit recently) who leak information. And who steal information
(Manny Miranda)
Stolen information makes it way back to mobbed up P.R. firms, who also use stolen data to target the words used by corrupt senators and propagandists in their statements.
Mobbed up law firms and legal orgs (looking at Judicial Crisis Network and Lenny Leo) provide cover.
The fascists new meme "angry left wing mob" is trolling citizens who know how mobbed up the puppet and the filthy GOP are. Mr. and Mrs. Brett Kavanaugh are mobbed up. It's why she looked so scared.
So the wingnuts take a phrase that is accuratly applied to them, then flip it to their enemies. We are their enemies

(22,695 posts)I have been sick to my stomach for my country, since election night. Now I am heartsick for Khashoggi, his fiancé and their families.
There are criminals in the White House, I have no doubt. Now we can call them murderous criminals.
Donnie can thank his friends in Saudi Arabia
for showing him how much they love him hating the press to the point of murdering a WaPo journalist.
These people are sociopaths. There are no redeeming qualities among them. To love is to hurt for the sociopath. They live to flirt with and wallow in criminality and disaster. They believe that they are above all laws and laugh in the face of righteous justice.
We should all be terrified.
Thanks for the post, Mrs. Overall.
Love, peace and shelter,

(1,142 posts)So now that we have Trump installed in America by the global oligarchy, we see the power of wealth and corruption being normalized every day with this misadministration.
The Oligarch's are winning and democracy and justice is losing ground, as is human rights
The days of private wars for global resources are here, private armies fighting for hire

The revelations that a Middle East monarchy hired Americans to carry out assassinations comes at a moment when the world is focused on the alleged murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Arabia, an autocratic regime that has close ties to both the US and the UAE. (The Saudi Embassy in the US did not respond to a request for comment. Riyadh has denied it killed Khashoggi, though news reports suggest it is considering blaming his death on a botched interrogation.)
Golan said that during his companys months-long engagement in Yemen, his team was responsible for a number of the wars high-profile assassinations, though he declined to specify which ones. He argued that the US needs an assassination program similar to the model he deployed. I just want there to be a debate, he said. Maybe Im a monster. Maybe I should be in jail. Maybe Im a bad guy. But Im right.

(16,184 posts)Saudi leaders discussing a plan to admit Khashoggi killed in botched interrogation or rendition
I dont remember seeing chyrons like that in the Obama years...
Are they running focus groups on whether interrogation or rendition is more believable?
Whats Pompeio doing there exactly? Telling them how to cover their tracks? Offering to have the professionals do it for them, next time? Delivering a vial or two?

by Lance Perriman Dec 8, 2017
Investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated in her native Malta after exposing a massive web of corruption through the Panama Papers, including a revelation that Ivanka Trump helped her fathers Panama hotel venture with the help of an alleged international fraudster with ties to Russian money launderers.
The slain investigative journalist works for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists behind the Panama Papers, a trove of records from a law firm that she used in her work.

Three have now been charged, with a local report in Malta Today on Wednesday revealing details of the investigation, including how they allegedly set off the powerful bomb on her car.
The assassins used a fatal text message sent from a boat out at sea, according to the report.
