Obama never would have allowed this....he would have pulled all diplomats out of Saudi Arabia and called for an end to any Arms sales to them and a full investigation cooperating with the Turks and FBI Forensic teams to find out how and where a US Resident and Journalist had been tortured and killed overseas by a Nation that should not be a member of nations that we ally with.

What Would Obama Do?

Given Chump's irrational obsession with President Obama, perhaps a meme contrasting Chump's actions with answers to "What Would Obama Do?" would get right on Chump's last nerve. Which would be a good thing, because he would say or do something even more idiotic than what he is already doing.

Now that I think about it, though, Pete Souza is doing a great job of it. If only his "shade" became more well-known.

I can imagine a large self-contained community like an embassy, may have a surgical suite if they didn't trust the home country's emergency services.

In any case, there are so many more anonymous ways to kill someone. Why not just shoot the guy with a sniper? I'm sure shootings and murders aren't totally uncommon, and this would probably be treated as a minor scandal getting some local coverage in Turkey. The Washington Post would bitch and complain, but ultimately nothing would happen, and nobody would be indicated. Why do governments have to come up with the most extravagant ways to kill people, and they're so incompetent at executing these attacks?

People might point fingers at the Saudi's, and / or President Trump, but since this took place in Turkey, the general public here wouldn't care.

Fri Oct 19, 2018, 09:55 PM

and please understand, I love black and dark humor as well as anyone, I ask that you ponder this;

It was reported they cut his fingers off.

It was reported that they cut lmbs off, that they DISMEMBERED HIM WHILE HE WAS ALIVE.


Just think about that for a second. Or two. Take ten minutes to contemplate what this man very likely went though AT THE HANDS OF A MEDICALLY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL. The fucking asshole apparently put on headphones so he could listen to music instead of his victims screams.

The "doctor" started with his fingers.

He FUCKING CUT OFF HIS FINGERS WITH A GOD DAMNED SAW.

Wide awake. No anesthesia. He likely hadn't been beaten to the edge of unconsciousness, he was fully aware and capable of feeling a saw cut his fingers off.

Then the "Doc" apparently moved up. Cut off his arm. Perhaps at the elbow first, then at the shoulder, using his medical knowledge to make sure the man didn't bleed to death too quickly. A report indicated he had his legs cut off.

So, lets just, for a single minute, contemplate the last 7 to ten minutes of Jamal Khashoggi's life.

He died in unbelievable and unspeakable pain and agony, his extremities cut away WITH A FUCKING SAW and died likely by bleeding to death, slowly, over the course of minutes.


Just think about that.

The people that did that to him were agents of a government the United States considers an ally.

They will sit back, allow the Saudis to conduct their own investigation, and then do fuck all when the Saudis conclude that Kashoggi died of a heart attack.

I can just imagine the sophomoric humour trump engaged in when he heard about this.

To me, this is so horrifying that - IMO - trump's government should be held complicit in this man's savage torture and barbaric slaughter. The level of depravity that it takes to remain complacent and ignore this debauchery is criminal.

As long as trump and the republicans are in power, I believe this country has lost its soul.

The reason it swung so hard in the direction it did is because the majority of Americans had the temerity to elect a Black Man as president.

What needs to happen is that the pendulum swings so hard the other way next time that it gets buried in the ceiling.

It's not called gallows humor for no reason. Sometimes, it's the only way to talk about it at all.

We have people in this country working for our government that have done equally unspeakable things. It's not just our allies. There was actually a good chance that this travesty would have never seen the light of day. How many others have suffered similar fates? How have we arrived at this place, where we aren't rioting in the streets around the globe over this?

Remember Trump suggesting someone should kill Hillary? When the election was stolen? Charlottesville? Thousands dying in Puerto Rico? Locking kids in cages? Remember Dr. Ford? That was only, what, three weeks ago? Seems almost quaint now.

What will next week's insanity be that makes us forget about this?

Any media that doesn't come right out and shut this nonsense down is "owned" media. They need to come out forcefully and say this is unacceptable and say something has to be done. My bet is that you'll see most media, write some article about it and NEVER ONCE mention the bone saw or coroner. Means they are opening the door to acceptance.

I looked through a number of the sites I look at for their take on the news and the ONLY ONE that called BS on this Saudi fairytale was Common Dreams. But EVERY site and media needs to say this is unacceptable. You don't fly a coroner with his bone saw for an interview with a dissident. Why does the media accept the discussion?
