Friday morning, Jared Kushner's 5th Avenue building will be magically paid off and all his past taxes will be paid up.

I haven't been following this story too close but has a body materialized?

You know it's bad when the most charitable interpretation is that the Saudis kill jamal by Accident and decide to chop him up to hide the body....

Makes me think that the one politicians Ive heard criticize Saudi Arabia for anything at all is a Norwegian politician on the far left, Corbyn (UK - Labour) and Bernie Sanders.
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland of the Liberal Party of Canada with support from Trudeau raised human rights issues.

Former Canadian Conservative Foreign Minister John Baird said PM Trudeau should fly to Riyadh and apologize to the royal family immediately when this was first happening. He has business interests there apparently.

Yup, 2 mob families doing business as usual.

Trump probably hands out a pricing guide to foreign dignitaries when they first meet.

If you want the US to do things like lift sanctions or murder US journalists there are set amounts to spend at Trump properties.

Optionally you can also buy Ivanka products or donate money to Kushner and bail him out of shitty investments.

The best deals.

Trump "Well, they feel awful about it. Really feel bad, and it's a sad sad thing. But he wasn't a citizen and Hillary and her emails, and a lot of people are saying that she should be locked up. Can you believe how smart the electoral college is? Not a lot of people know this, but I won by a land slide."

A forensic specialist who just happened to have a bone saw handy had an episode.
When all you have is a bone saw, everything looks like limbs you need to saw off.
I know a few pathologists personally, and they all just get these intense attacks and just need to kill and dismember someone (without leaving any traceable evidence behind). Totally normal behaviour.

I mean MbS imprisoned his own family members and shook them down for billions and their loyalty. This dude was an outright critic of him and use to work for a rival family member.

At least the imprisonment was in a 5 star hotel.

if America and the world at large lets this fly, the precedent this would set is fucking terrifying. Granted no one really gives a fuck. Saudi Arabia are murdering children in Yemen and Israel is practicing Apartheid, and we don't care and we likely never will.

The US let saudi get away with 9/11, let that sink in for a few before and if you respond.

Then they can admit to all the other horrible shit and maybe we'll care. The leadership of that country needs to be taken to task for a whole host of things this murdered journalist is just the most recent.

The Saudi government is awful. They are terrorists imo and no one should make deals with them. This is well known but the western big players (US, Germany, Great Britain ect.) still "support" them...money is still valued more then morals or life it seems.

That being said I think it is a bit hypocritic from the us to do sanctions on them. If I recall correctly over the years the us government ordered the killing of many people around the world and planned and executed coups to replace entire governments of foreign countries....I didn't see them getting in trouble over that..

It was a tragic accident but luckily, luckily, they brought their own bonesaw.

Seriously, start the sanctions immediately.

Looks like they plan to throw their own guys under a very large bus to save face.

I wonder if any of them will turn on their masters here, or if the Saudi's have enough leverage on all of them to blackmail them into silence.
