    As an aside, Saudis Arabia didn't kill that journalist. The crown prince told me, so that's all ok then.

    Suicide? Have they tried that one?

    Chopped his own fingers off - and then chopped his own head off - despite having no fingers...

    The Trump admin allies lying machine is gathering pace on Khoshoggi, linking him to the muslim brotherhood, Al Queada all because he reported on them in years gone by. I guess they're trying to soften the impact when Dump does nothing in retaliation. Also Kushner urging Dump to stand by MBS saying he will ride out the current storm.

    He must be the only person in the world who thinks the Saudi version that the journalist died in a fight sounds credible. I doubt even the Saudis expected anyone to actually believe their version.

    Saudis say Khashoggi died in a fist fight, trump says that’s credible.
    It’s weird when Erdogan is the worlds moral conscience.

    I have just gone and locked my 36" bolt croppers in a tool chest in case they get a mind of their own.

    A 'fist fight' might perhaps end with someone getting a broken nose or similar.......this one seems to have ended with him being dismembered.

    Precisely.
    That is some sharp finger nails right there... :roll:

    "I'm told that in Arabic the words for "detain" and "interrogate" are almost indistinguishable from the words for "assassinate" and "dismember with a bone saw".

    Quoted from elsewhere on t'internetz.

    I've no idea why anyone quotes Trump. Words have no fixed meaning to him: their only purposes are to deflect any blame, enrich himself, and to find out how much he can say without any consequences for him or the GOP.

    Difficult to have a “fist fight” after your fingers have been forcibly removed I’d have thought?

    Khashoggi vs 15 Saudi Hitmen and a bone saw; "fist fight" - probably not exactly much like the Thriller in Manilla in terms of balance. I'm sure I came up with more convincing explanations of misdemeanours when I was 7.

    I know he's an imbecile, I know he's President of the USA and I know it's all pretty mind blowing stuff.

    But you honestly think he believe's what he's been told?

    Of course he f*cking doesn't, he will just spin it any which way he likes to the media.

    I can't believe it's almost been 2 years and people still take almost everything he says at face value.

    It's difficult to know whether he believes it, in the way that doublethink allows you to believe something that you know to be false because you also believe the opposite.

    I am willing to accept that he believes it, even though he also knows it is not the case. He will also believe the next explanation, and not believe that the explanation has changed.

    Trump is notoriously gullible and has a reputation for holding the opinion of the most recent person he has spoken to on a particular topic. The fact that it also fits his narrative is a bonus. So yes, I think he does believe it. He's that stupid.

    He's as thick as treacle.

    But he can play the media, his followers and the opposition like a flute.

    His business is pedalling lies, it's what he does and he know's they're lies. Now granted, he'll come out with something where he just proves how f*cking stupid he is every (day) now and again (, but he knows the guy was murdered and is selling it how he wants it sold. Saudi Arabia have run with his idea too...

    He wants to get the Saudis off the hook so as to continue his deals with them. He cares about nothing else.

    Well our P{M has let Russia off the hook (I don't like that terminology for obvious reasons) and they murdered our citizens in our country - or something like that.
    ...take your pickelf on your holibobs.... :D

    At least the Saudis keep their murdering to themselves and don't involve anyone else though they seem to do it as embarrassingly incompetently as the Russian ones.

    The Lying President said last night at a rally he's putting a bill into congress next week for a 10% tax cut for middle income workers, the crowd cheered like crazy, congress is not sitting until after mid terms the fools get what they deserve.
    He also said there were riots in California against sanctuary cities... blatant lies. Some USAnians are so gullible never ceases to amaze.

  • Trump is embracing full on lying as an election strategy again. And full on racism obviously.

    perhaps the most bizarre was pizzagate, also worryingly, the bomb at George Soros house in the US yesterday almost certainly the doing of the populists

    Whether or not he knows or cares he's lying is slightly beside the point: it's his daycare team and the GOP who are not only allowing it but encouraging it who are the most culpable (along with the media who know it's good business). They could stop it at a stroke, if they wanted to, but it's serving their warped agenda.
  • In the interests of balance what have other leaders done other than weak words?

    what is it that Trump has not done?
