      I am sick and outraged over the murder of journalist and American permanent resident Jamal Khashoggi. The President and his administration have failed to uphold their duty to the Constitution and to the rule of law by turning a blind-eye to this demonic act.

      Greed and power can never be allowed to conspire to extinguish a human life. The murder of Jamal Khashoggi is a vicious attack on the press, on free speech, and basic human rights.

          It's hard not to see parallels to the Civil Rights Movement when reporters were threatened, beaten, & attacked for attempting to shine a light on injustices perpetrated in the Deep South. The administration’s weak & feeble response demonstrates whose side they really fight for.

          It's depressing Representative. Just like George W Bush, I do not expect this President to serve any time for his crimes, nor those executing them. Being elected President and being Republican seems to a magic pass to committing any horrific act.

          This goes beyond Jamal this is pure unadulterated evil. Black as the blackest night dark as the night w/o stars. We are lost we have lost our humanity our morals our ethics. I wonder if we really ever had them. We have allowed this. We must right it. He has done so much damage.

          The west and the media have been fawning over the Saudi Crown Prince like lap dogs trying to convince us that it’s a new day in Saudi Arabia, but it is clear that a tiger doesn’t change its stripes. Saudi Arabia is a rogue state! An international disgrace.
