BREAKING: Pompeo just announced the US is revoking visas for the Saudi agents accused of killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
This is the Trump admin’s first concrete step to punish Saudi Arabia for Khashoggi's death

NEW: The U.S. penalties will affect 21 Saudis. Most already have visas, and their documents are being revoked. Some who do not have visas are now ineligible for them.

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins I think I’m hallucinating. @jimsciutto just reported that the FBI was unable to find photos of James Comey and Robert Mueller hugging and kissing, as the president claimed.

From Trump’s September interview with the Caller: “And I could give you 100 pictures of him and Comey hugging and kissing each other. You know, he’s Comey’s best friend.”

Good and informative opening to '11th Hour' discussion Trump/Putin/Bolton visit with Julia Ioffe, Clint Watts and Peter Baker.

Forgot link to the pod:
'Trump appears to be planning yet another meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but dominating the headlines are his continued demonizing of a migrant caravan headed toward the U.S. and his embrace of the word 'nationalist.' Julia Ioffe, Peter Baker, Clint Watts, Ashley Parker, Sabrina Siddiqui, Nicholas Kristof, Jon Meacham, and Steve Kornacki all join the program.'

200 years after Karl Marx's birth, socialism is making a comeback in America—courtesy of Congressional Democrats, some of whom now wear the label proudly.

Here is what it means for our country:

I just checked out the WH twitter timeline after seeing your post, Claws. It is just a succession of scaremongering posts and lies. Shameful stuff.

My God.
How terrible for this young man to have to shake the hand of the mastermind behind his father’s murderer.
Can these Saudi Royal Butchers be any more cruel and duplicitous?
If the Saudi Royals think releasing this picture with #JamalKhashoggi’s son, somehow helps clean their image and shows them as compassionate, they are wrong. It only shows just what monstrous, loathsome sons of bitches, capable of mounting any charade, they really are.

The return of the red scare ... (Socialism).

WaPo breaking news flash that suspicious packages sent to Clinton's and Obama's homes.

And now CNN New York offices have been evacuated because of a possible bomb.
Trump and his supporters are a shower of shit. Bastards.
