Jamal Khashoggi

For the first time ever, I wrote to our Prime Minister. I urged him to cancel any military sales to Saudi Arabia, and even suggested that our ambassador be recalled and theirs expelled.

They cannot be allowed to get away with the torture and brutal murder of this man.

I don't know if Trudeau will even see it, but I think anyone who feels the same way should email him.

I would write to our illegitimate president, but he has already decided that the Saudis are innocent of this charge and that it was committed by "rogue agents" whatever that means.

The US will do nothing. By their silence they will tacitly condone what the Sauds have done. He is probably jealous that he, too, cannot murder journalists in cold blood and then dismember their bodies. I'll bet he gets an erection just thinking about it.

I'm so sorry you're stuck with him, at least for a couple of more years. He's such an idiot...and that doesn't even begin to describe the depths of his idiocy. The Marianas Trench is a mere puddle compared to the depths of his stupidity. Words cannot express how much I detest that man. I feel for you!

I'm disappointed in most countries, to be honest. I think every nation should recall their ambassadors, though I know it won't happen. A stand needs to be taken, but I doubt one will be.

That was good.

When I was in the NAVY, we would equate something lower than low as "hammered whale shit," because, presumably nothing could be lower than that.

I agree that embassies in S. A. should close until Mr. Kashoggi is found, one way or another, but I realize that may be impossible. But even the symbolic gesture would be noteworthy.

... person up in the White House press room. This would be done right in front of the media and televised so as to put the fear of God into everyone not to cross pResiDunce MicroDick or suffer the consequences.

Chop chop anyone who has the audacity to speak disparagingly of pResiDunce MicroDick.
