    I am not aware of any “military version” of eminent domain. I am aware of executive overreach, and this sounds like it.

  3. “Bush spokesman Freddy Ford also said the two men had not discussed the matter. And Obama, for his part, has not spoken with Trump since his inauguration, except for a brief exchange at George H.W. Bush’s funeral in Washington, D.C.”

    Quite the choice of words three months after the murder of Khashoggi. Guess the Saudis have a few more days to tinker with their “narrative,” which we’ve already seen various iterations of, in advance of Pompeo’s visit next week.

    This is what the founders intended: Presidents working with Congress through a television network.

  10. I’m old enough to remember when Trump defenders called you a racist snowflake if you found Kanye’s Oval Office f-bomb inappropriate. (Unseemly in the Oval. Unseemly in Congress.)

  11. It’s 100 percent true - and I highly recommend your timely book “How To Get Rid of a President” on the history of how Presidents leave office/impeachment for anyone who wants perspective on how difficult and improbable-but not impossible-it would be for this to happen in 2019.

    Classic MBS. Tries to silence Jamal Khashoggi by killing him; makes him a global icon. Tries to silence Hasan Minhaj by getting his Saudi episode taken off of Netflix; makes it trend online. As I’ve written before, MBS is the reverse Midas. Everything he touches turns to sh*t.

    "Saleh Mohammad Saleh, a lawmaker representing Konar province, also noted that the United States funded the rebels fighting the Soviets. To now hear Trump justifying the invasion was 'really strange...This man proves to be more mad than people think.'”

    Just In: Paul Whelan, the U.S. citizen being held in Russia, has been formally charged with espionage, his lawyer Vladimir Zherebenkov told CNN Thursday. It could be at least half a year before a court date is set, the lawyer said, adding that he has appealed for bail.

    So, according to the WH, Trump's trade war is killing the tech sector and we're losing billions in economic activity to a shutdown over a few miles of steel slats. And they're proud of this?

    While Jared Kushner’s buddy MbS was planning to murder Khashoggi, he was also imprisoning many others, including Fahad and Loujain. They were just young, creative people, trying to make stuff.

    According to CNN witches favor Democrats and they are offended that the Meuller investigation is described as a Witch Hunt. There is no reason for the witches to be offended because Witch Hunt derives from,for example,the Salem Witch Hunts where people were executed unjustly.

    The pearl clutching over the established fact pattern that Trump has the character of a total scumbag will be historically embarrassing for those who knew better and still participated.

    For some context, here's the Saudi Ambassador's statement on Khashoggi, from October: "Reports that suggest that Jamal Khashoggi went missing in the Consulate in Istanbul or that the Kingdom’s authorities have detained him or killed him are absolutely false, and baseless."

    The poster is a play off "Game of Thrones." I don't want to spoil it, but the wall in "Game of Thrones" has... some trouble in season 7. I'll leave it there.
