      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.

          Saudis kill a journalist who lives in Virginia and Trump demands...nothing. But sends Pompeo THERE for a photo op and to “not discuss facts.” Our country has never witnessed this kind of impotence and weakness from a @POTUS.

          NON-VOTING US citizens are going be the reason why GOP Congress repeals Soc Sec, Medicare, Medicaid & Obamacare in 2019 to pay for another #TaxFraudCut; &, by then, mobs of white nationalists & neo-nazis will be embolden and gun violence & assaults will reach preCivil War levels!
