    من خسة المرتزق أن يقول: "يجب إدانة تركيا لأنها تجسست"... لأن بقية عبارته تعني بالضرورة.. لإنها تجسست وكشفت جريمة قتل !! المشكلة لديهم ليست الجريمة، بل انكشاف الجريمة! وسيتم إعدام المرتزقة المنفذين لإنهم انكشفوا وليس لانهم قتلوا.. ولا بد من معاقبة الآنر، المجرم الحقيقي

    If you're going to tut-tut her for saying this be sure to note all of the intemperate, misogynistic racist and xenophobic things said by the President against public and private citizens that inspired such salty language.

    was a member of the American press, a resident of Virginia and his kids live here. He was brutally executed and the POTUS and his son-in-law have ties to his killer. If you need to be outraged by something, be outraged by that, not a random expletive. Please.

    As disgraceful as ‘grab them by the p**ssy?’ As disgraceful as ‘shithole’ countries? As disgraceful as black athletes being ‘sons of bitches’? As disgraceful as calling Omarosa a ‘dog’ or Stormy Daniels ‘horseface’? As disgraceful as ‘blood coming out of her wherever’? Seriously?

    كيف "مدانيين" ومع ذلك يتحاكمون وهذه أول جلسة محاكمة؟ لماذا عددهم ١١ فقط برغم أن بيانات النيابة السابقة تتحدث عن عدد أكبر؟ أين البقية؟ ماهي أسماؤهم؟ لماذا لاتكون المحاكمات علنية؟ وماهو "الجزاء الشرعي بحقهم"؟ والأهم: من الذي أمر بها؟ هل له اسم؟ رحم الله
