Dear @realDonaldTrump: As you continue to defend Saudi Arabia, you may want to know there is a tape of the murder.#WednesdayWisdom

Yeni Safak, a strongly pro-government newspaper, said Saudi consul general Mohammed al-Otaibi could be heard telling those allegedly torturing Mr Khashoggi at the Saudi embassy in Istanbul: "Do this outside; you're going to get me in trouble." https://news.sky.com/story/missing-journalist-jamal-khashoggi-audio-recording-made-of-murder-11527880

OMG. If if Republicans let that orange nightmare get away with this, he might just as well start shooting people on 5th Avenue.

"Journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured and dismembered over seven minutes while he was still alive, according to a Turkish source who heard an audio recording of the murder."

(4,066 posts)Trump has already called the press the enemy of the people. That would be the US press.
An Arab (non-white) guy in a turban is not someone they care about unless they are part of the royal family. If he's not part of the royal family then he's just another "sand n-word" or "towelhead" to them. Useless and disposable. Even more so because he's a journalist.
Their base feels the same way.

(3,487 posts)received. FINALLY, his life long wet dream of being able to murder pesky people was beginning to come true, even if it WAS just a lousy A-rab fake news peddler.
Now he knows that he can put people in the cargo hold of Melanoma's plane, and send her off to distant parts of the world, and those folks will never be heard from again.

So by "tape".. that's audio, right? Well, at least there's something.
Wonder why Turkish Authorities secretly recorded the Saudi embassy? Good thing they did.

(6,535 posts)The Kleptocratic party doesn't care; they have no more basic human decency or ethical foundation than it does.
If well-known U.S. journalists started disappearing, or just being openly assaulted and dragged away by thugs in public for that matter, maybe enough of the American people would wake up to what they've allowed to happen to what used to be their country.
But I don't even know if that would do it...we have Kiddie Koncentration Kamps out in the desert now, and people are just going about their lives, complaining about the price of gas and shit.
It is imperative that we vote every single one of these fuckers out of office.
