Well, I do declare, Flimsy Linski throws a theatrical buff as he is personally offended the Saudi Crown Prince did not consider his feelings before Mr Khashoggi met his awful death. (Oh, and he knows the Potplants' biggest fan is watching, so maybe messaging him at the same time?):

NEW YORK (AP) — President Trump reached 11.7 million viewers for his "60 Minutes" interview on Sunday — or just over half the audience that Stormy Daniels had on the CBS newsmagazine last spring.

People have stopped watching for the entertainment value (it's a stale show) and know they will only get lies. There is hope ... 🤞

SIGNIFICANT #Khashoggi updates:

• Turkish official tells CNN that Khashoggi was cut into pieces
• Turks to AJ, Saudi autopsy doctor Salah Al Tabiqi did the cutting
• Cutting lasted for 7 minutes, doctor told colleagues to listen music during the op
• Recordings exist

Just spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish Consulate. He was with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo...
...during the call, and told me that he has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter. Answers will be forthcoming shortly.

President Trump unleashes a festering list of grievances during an unscheduled morning https://cnn.it/2COT0lz https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/1052269465222701056/photo/1

Trump was frustrated by the constant coverage of the Saudi murder and tried to change get cable news to shift their focus. It didn't work.

The booming economy?

I'm a freelance transcriber - I've just been booked to transcribe an interview with Stormy Daniels next Monday.

Can. Not. Wait!! (Fingers crossed it doesn't get cancelled!)

Interview between her and whom?

Sorry. (Realised you may not be able to say......)

Have you voted yet Across?

A journalist based in America I work for semi-regularly - she writes for UK broadsheets as well. She interviews a lot of celebs, but we're both pretty excited about this one!

Kevin that will be fascinating. I have a lot of time for Stormy.

Seriously? Parker is talking about repugs who thought it amusing to call Michelle Obama 'a gorilla in heels' or suggest she had a penis (and they think the current FLOTUS is classy). They would not even blink at this, and probably call her much worse. And 'accused'? He paid her off to silence her, ffs.

The real question — or my question, at least — is if any Republican voters penalize Trump this Nov. for using language like this, to denigrate a woman who accused him of an extramarital affair
@realDonaldTrump
“Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.” @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!

More denial assurances from the Stinker. Pompeo must be working out the cover story with the Saudis. They all want to get back to business as usual asap.
And:
Is this the Turks ratcheting up the pressure on the Saudis, or assisting with the cover story to throw these 'rogue' actors to the wolves?

Oh, and the Stinker is so pissed about Jamal Khashoggi's horrible death, not out of any sentiment for him or his family, but because it interferes with his ability to manipulate the news cycle, and it is distracting from what he considers has been good run over the week in the lead up to the midterms. For him it is an inconvenience. He is giving another interview to Poxy today, plus he threw more stuff at twitter, including re-upping 'witch hunt', desperate to take back control of the direction of the media.
