We know that indescribably horrible things are being perpetrated by our purported allies, but a single human story makes them resonate so strongly.

A couple years ago, when I was writing for American Dad!, I needed an Arabic speaker for a small part. Our casting director recommended a Saudi comedian, who happened to be in LA for a couple months shooting a tv show. His name is Fahad Albutairi.

That is horrible. It's still nothing compared to the child genocide being committed by Saudi-Arabia and USA in Yemen right now.

Just saw a tweet chain about a S*udi couple, written by an American comic. I won't share it here. He seems well intentioned but the thread, which includes accounts of the couple's critical comments re the Kingdom, does not seem to be done on their behalf.

And the Trump's government puts travel ban on all Iranians! I am a German-Iranian citizen, but according to the Trumpian immigration laws, I cannot easily go see my brother who is a US citizen and is a JPL scientist in California! Very smart

Except that he reaches the end and you realize it's all anti-republican nonsense. I'm mostly an isolationist, I disagree with a lot of Republican foreign policy but acting like they are worse than Dems on appeasing terrible countries run by terrible people is asinine.
