    Be real. Evidence? All one need do is to use one’s brain.

    What to do? End all relationships with :
    Saudi Arabia, economic, military, political. And for good measure, arrest the crowned price and judge him in America.

    Yes, who gains and who loses from this controversy? There might be a clue there. ;-)

    There’s no mystery. Murder most foul has occurred. A scared moral and political principle has been deficated on. Arrest the SOB. Have his trial in America.

    As to the drug problem, restore the principle of Individual Rights and legalize them. That is the only solution. Everything else is moral BS used by power lusters to get more power over the lives of free men.

    I’m not saying police them, I’m saying annihilate them economically, politically, morally, and militarily. This type of behavior is unacceptable.

    And I for sure ain’t no frigging Democrat.

    When the USG gives the drugs away free wherever they store road salt most of the problems associated with drugs will go away.
    So, until the "12th of never". ;-)

    Why should the trial be here? This didn't take place in the US, not in a US embassy, and it wasn't a US citizen

    Then you should agree with me that "War Is Always The Answer TEAM AMERICA WORLD POLICE!" is the perfect slogan for the NDP.

    “Perhaps the biggest lie of all is that fact-checking can act as some sort of short-cut to the truth. For news consumers, there’s really no getting around the time-intensive work of paying attention to multiple sources of information and making their own judgments. And I’ll bestow my own “Pants on Fire” award to anyone who claims otherwise.”

    Nope, you're sarcastically mocking the good in order to cover for an atrocity. Good luck with that.

    As to what I want? Initially? The crowned prince's arrest, his extradition to America, and his trial for first-degree murder. Until then, total and complete isolation.

    He was an "investigative reporter", same thing, only you might not be killed for being seen talking to him. Jeebus Henley Christopher on a Vespa have conservatives NO grasp of subtleties or nuance anymore?

    Assuming that he was ever indicted, he would be found "not guilty". No Body - No Crime.

    An intelligence officer is a clandestine operator - a government's spy. Was this WaPo reporter really a spy?
    That would certainly explain a lot.

    That's the same argument used to justify every breach of morality. The ideal is impossible, therefore we must compromise with the pragmatic, i.e., the expediently practical.

    All by design, as terrible as this situation with Saudi Arabia is it will undoubtedly push them into the arms of China and Russia.

    This will mean that only Venezuela and Iran will be left of the oil nations where both of them are already solidified with Russia along with China.

    This will make it hard for American access to oil and the international petroleum markets which means the demise of the United States dollar as the world reserve currency will come much quicker. All of that undoubtedly will change the European political landscape also and maybe for the better as it distance itself away from Washington.

    Totalitarianism is based on the idea that "everything is possible".
    It is an idea that contradicts reality and has killed hundreds of millions of human beings.

    No problem. We've gone to the moon. We are preparing for a Mars colony. Private space travel is a few years away. In other words, we'll just produce whatever it is we need. That's just the way Americans are.

    The Guniess Book of World Records lists Mao and Stalin as the number 1 and 2 mass murders in human history.

    Totalitarianism is a political cancer that must be removed from human culture.

    That's a ridiculous fantasy and you know it.
