we're outraged, the press is outraged, the UN and the international community should be outraged if they aren't already, same with our Congress. Trump will be all alone with his Saudi benefactors on Bullshit Island.

Well, there is a third thing: stuffing a cheeseburger into his yawp while being a gullible idiot who knows stuff, kinda.

If the head of your agency that specializes in spying tells you the truth about something, you can either accept the truth, or reject it. now this must be clear:....I know nothing........................
...................I have been told nothing.......I read like you read..........................


......................this is conjecture..............................


...................So the ex head of the British Spy Agency suggests the Saudis knew and ordered this.

OK,,here is a link to the former head of M16 saying this..............(posted today, by ffr at 1:23PM )https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142182318
.
The suggestion by former head of M16 is the crown prince ordered the killing.

...................then ........our president ...Mr. dum dum,..... also knew............................Our spies told
........MR. dum dum ...Why? .Mr. .Dum dum is the head of our government...(I did not vote for him) .
...................the agencies report to the heads of their agencies...and then to the elected President of
...................United States....So. Mr. dum dum was told about it all.....because our spies told him. Is it
...................so hard to understand?...Keep this in mind. We have good spies, and we have poor spies.

Our spies work with the British spies, and probably NATO spies too. Maybe ours work with
the Israeli spies. (I know nothing) MAYBE EVEN THE SAUDI SPIES.. But it makes sense
...
.....that the good guys
share info, just, like the bad guys share info....You know..........TO SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!

......................Therefore, Mr. Dum dum knew, because he was told..by the people whose job it is to
keep the President of the United States informed....Does that sound like something
that spies would do?..Ok, you don't believe..Watch all the James Bond films, (yes all) and
you will see that in the end, the info goes to the head of the British Govt, and then to the
Prime Minister...and ultimately James Bond ...SAVES THE WORLD!!!!!!

.......guess what?..............It doesn't work that way....
Nixon did not get away with it all......
W was found out to be a total liar on the Iraq War...
The truth comes out......The Trump name is becoming worthless and will become more worthless..
Because he is a liar, total and complete, that is all he knows. (and it ain't much)..
