#MAGAbomber has taken Jamal Khashoggi's murder completely off the airwaves...

just something to think about.

Even after they catch the person, even if the person has nothing to do with Saudis whatsoever, there are a lot of OTHER people whose choices and behaviors dictate or influence what is being discussed in the public forum at any given time. How many of them are motivated to react a certain way to today's events in order to take advantage of this opportunity for that purpose?

Just because there's already an important story doesn't mean the new story is a distraction. Sometimes shit just happens, and sometimes shit happens really fast.

everything I have into bonds - even cried to my 401-K broker on the phone the day I moved it all out of stock. He hates Trump, but did try to talk me out of it - saying even if he got impeached the forward economic train will move on.

It is all intended to distract from the previous day's disaster. Hasn't everyone caught on by now?
