Complicit in trying to cover this barbaric act up:POTUS; Secretary of State of the USA; a Senior WH Advisor to POTUS - and who else?

Looking bad for MESA.

Now the orders of 'stuff' and military hardware from KSA are the biggest in the history.of the world. Putrid arsehole:
Fox News
@FoxNews
@POTUS : “Secretary of State Pompeo is going to back probably late tonight or early tomorrow morning… He’s going to have a full report. I’m not giving cover at all. With that being said, Saudi Arabia's been a very important ally of ours in the Middle East.”

There is video of a Saudi lawyer saying this.

Could this be why Niki Haley resigned?

coyHmm Yes, he is such a shrinking violet. Evasive, more like. And he has already lied about the FBI being involved:

@markknoller
Pres Trump was coy when asked whether he would send the FBI to investigate the Khashoggi disappearance. "He wasn't a citizen of this country," said
@POTUS, but added, we're going to determine what happened. Pressed, he wouldn't say whether the FBI was dispatched to Turkey.

“We’re being very tough. And we have investigators over there and we’re working with Turkey, and frankly we’re working with Saudi Arabia. We want to find out what happened,” Trump told Fox News on Thursday morning.

'President Donald Trump will be the first sitting president to address the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit, which the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) described as a “rogues' gallery of the radical right.”

Trump will be the keynote speaker at Friday's event, which will also be attended by his former strategist, Steve Bannon. Other speakers include the founder of anti-Islam group ACT for America and former Trump strategist, Sebastian Gorka.

The anti-LGBTQ Family Research Council, labeled as a hate group by the SPLC, has hosted its annual summit since its inception in 2006.'

Has Haley gone to ground?

Ie - switching between the hot stove and the hot phone. 

Gumpendorf · 17/10/2018 20:31

I really laughed out loud at this one. College educated women are much too smart to be taken in by this chump. Is he really trying?

Couldn't think of a pithy quote so have this instead. Trump #85
cozietoesie · 17/10/2018 20:38

I He's wrong that they see him as The One Who Will Deliver.. I fear the He is trying.

cozietoesie · 17/10/2018 20:41

Sorry for mispost. That should read:

'I fear that he is trying. Just that he's wrong..........'

Roussette · 17/10/2018 20:56

That statement is hilarious, are we sure this isn't a parody?!
It sounds so juvenile... me me me

Gumpendorf · 17/10/2018 21:19

Nope it's the real deal Rousette. I double checked because it seemed naive.

I don't follow Trump but a bot that turns his tweets into official statements. Also the often funny @narratedPOTUS that tweeted
The President of the United States issues a tweet that smashes the Bullshit Density In A Single Tweet record for 2018.
