All wound up over one journalist when ignoring everything else. It's silly.

Complains of "fake news."

Posts link to Breitbart.

Can't make this shit up, folks.

What's fake with Breitbart? Because it's not recycling talking points of the MSM?

No. What is fake is a huge amount of the actual information they print. They do not bother to even attempt to validate the accuracy of anything they post. They just shovel it out there as fast as folks can inhale it regardless of the contents.

Don't try to be logical with Count. Seriously, what's the point?

I really hope that whatever NDA that Steve Bannon signed is so thorough that it prevents him from ever writing a book on how he pulled this off.

"Let’s assume the terrible rumors are true, that an unsuspecting Jamal Khashoggi walked into a Saudi consulate in Istanbul only to be tortured and killed.

While there is no question that is an awful thing and we should all feel terrible for him and his family, in the overall, existential scheme of things, it is time to turn off CNN and stop playing pretend.

These things happen pretty much every day in that part of the world, and now we are being conned…

The murder of a dissident journalist alleged to be by operatives of Saudi Arabia. I challenge you to cite one a day in the world for the last month, Immzy. This article is all part of the new Republican whisper campaign against Khashoggi that is designed to protect President Trump from criticism of his handling of the journalist’s alleged murder by operatives of Saudi Arabia. Hook. Line. Sinker.

OK. But Khashoggi wasn't a journalist.

That seems to be the only information about him that all the news media share. What was he besides a Saudi dissident?

an American citizen?

Resident not citizen.
He's worn many hats, reporter, intelligence source for the Saudi's, dissident, contributor to WaPo.

Saudi insider, state media mouthpiece, Islamic Brotherhood activist...

Who gives a shit. We can't police every single murder that happens in the world. And tbh I'm not sure we've got some moral high ground to stand on as we've done similar things or worse in our nation's history....is it wrong? Sure. It's terrible....but not sure we need to be playing finger wagging principal to the Saudis over it.

ok, donald

I'm Vladimir Putin, and I say "Да да да"!

I get it. We're supposed to blow up relations with our second-most important Middle East ally AND demand the defenestration of the man who seeks to diversify his kingdom's economy and thus save his country from Syria's future, because they all behaved like Middle Eastern regimes generally do.

When did y'all become dastardly "neocons?"
