Will the oafish admirer of autocrats who calls his adversaries in the press "enemies of the people" and has abused his power in seeking to do some of them harm really pursue "severe punishment" of the reformist autocrat who has apparently ordered the murder of an annoying critic in the press?
He is very clear he won't cancel the arms deal.
But what if they do, in response to something he does by way of "punishment"?
Saudi Arabia Rejects Trump Comments, Threatens Retaliation For Any Punishment
Turkish officials say they fear Saudi agents killed and dismembered Khashoggi after he entered the consulate, saying they have audio and video recordings of it that they have not released.
The kingdom has called the allegations “baseless,” but has offered no evidence the writer ever left the consulate.
Hmm. A pattern emerges.
He can't say there was Russian interference because Putin and the other Russians deny it.
He rejects charges against Kavanaugh because Kavanaugh denies them.
He saying the claims the Saudis killed that fellow might well be false because the Saudis deny them.
This from a man whose own vehement denials are so often so egregiously lies.
By the way, one of his and other Republicans' current campaign charges is that Democrats want to turn America into Venezuela.
That, of course, is just another lie.
Democrats want to turn America into Denmark. Or maybe Norway. Or Sweden.
Well, at least Canada.
Medicare for all, you know.
Right up until Kavanaugh and the conservative majority of the Supremes tell us that not only Medicare but Social Security and every other progressive creation all the way back to the New Deal, or even McKinley, is unconstitutional.
