I don't know if i'm happy or sad that the saudi royal family's incompetence has it's asshole exposed for the world to see.

At least this time it killed one person instead of [current death toll] in Yemen. :larry

Apparently at some point, MBS called up Jared Kushner because he couldn't understand why people were upset over this. When you're turning to Jared Kushner for answers, you know you fucked up.
You just have to wonder where MBS got the idea to put the king in front a TV that ran nothing but positive news about the King and Saudi Arabia in an attempt to keep the king occupied.

Saudi Twitter is also something to behold. All sorts of fund managers and thinktank bigwigs tweeting out stuff like:
"WOW this has been such a valuable experience for our country"
"Now our politics can finally mature and the country can heal from this tragedy"
"Even in death Khashoggi has done our country a great service he should be remembered for this!"
"Such an important gesture by the crown prince that he leads the investigation himself! Shows his dedication to getting to the bottom of this"

I’m impressed in how they killed their own hype in less of two weeks.

Hey, the middle easterners that killed Khashoggi aren’t unknown, we know exactly who they are. But the middle easterners in the caravan are so unknown, we don’t even know if there are any. Those are the most dangerous kind.

Boy, that shit Trump said today.

Started out talking about how much money SA invests in America and how damaging their relationship ending would be to the country, so many jobs lost, Russia and China will take over military contracts and be much stronger than us, it'd be so bad. Then goes on to talk about how he's proud to be a Nationalist and thinks more people should be using that word these days, not enough people use it anymore, but he's proud to be a nationalist. Also called John Bolton by Michael Bolton.

Imagine how sad your life must be when you reduced yourself to manually editing posts because a word you're trying to censor triggers you too much. And not because it really does, but because the prevailing culture told you it should.

conservatives in power or the ones pulling the strings know exactly what they want. it may not make sense to you but they have an agenda and they follow it through to the end.

dems are the fucking dumbasses. they don't know how to combat even the most stupidest of shit. conservatives can make people vote against their own interests... dems can't sell free healthcare  :lol

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out there are Russian Facebook posts that started it.


But I also believe that these caravans are actually not unusual. The trip is dangerous and there are a lot of criminals that try to take advantage of the migrants, so iirc they have been traveling in large groups for a while. Trump is just acting like this is unusual.

I suspect that there will be no mass caravan arriving at the us border, as I believe they tend to disperse over time.

The people might still show up, but not all in one big group.
