1. Sounds to me like somebody has a lot of money invested in SA

[jcgoldie]

2. Yeah right

I mean that Hitler was a pretty swell guy if we just ignore that whole murdering 6 million people and attempted world domination thing.

[LakeArenal]

12. Which Trumps do ignore so.... Yay Hitler!

[lunatica]

21. George Bush's grandfather ignored it.

Prescott Bush.

3. Yes eric.

at least threaten as much, you dumbfuck

[BlueJac]

4. We need a little help we these assholes Mueller...

the time is now!

[dameatball]

5. If pursuing justice means "throw away our realtionship" then there just may be something wrong with

that relationship. Kashoggi was a legal resident of the United States who was murdered. Unlike yourself, he was not surrounded by Secret Service on his visit to the embassy of our great ally. It is the President's job to listen to the CIA and other intelligence sources and pursue the matter.

[RockRaven]

6. Well, if that is what happens because we did the right thing, then yes.

Because what we are supposed to do is, you know, the right thing. Oh, well, maybe YOU don't know, or any of your criminal family.

And, btw, maybe there's a few thousand other reasons why we would want to throw our relationship in the trash anyway *cough* 9/11 *cough*.

[LiberalBrooke]

7. The correct answer is YES

Your mother will be proud of you if you do the right thing.

[Johonny]

8. Please, America don't let your deaths spoil Eric's gravy train of graft.

[Me.]

9. WOW...Really?

they are so casual with everyone else's life...why should theirs mean anything to us?

[Glamrock]

10. Well of course not.

What are American values worth compared to profits from condos, right? Fucking traitor.

[LakeArenal]

11. Ask Er-ick if it had been him murdered, what should the response be?

After all he’s just a second son and not even a journalist.

[SaintLouisBlues]

13. Then how about for the Sept. 11 attacks?

Fuck Saudi Arabia.

[raging moderate]

14. Dear Eric Trump: YES.

[duforsure]

15. That's such a pathetic statement.

But coming from a trump is no surprise. Maybe after all is exposed how policies were sold to them, and they personally have profited from them , it'll explains this statement completely.

[nolabear]

16. Not a person. A journalist.

The implied threat and other-ness of journalists is chilling. They’ll move heaven for a preacher or a rich college kid (as they should) but a journalist? Meh.

I could scream.

[Calista241]

17. I'm conflicted about this.

The Saudi's have the ability to crash the world economy, and do we really want them to make friends and replace us with the Russians and Iranians?

I'm not saying we should let MBS walk away with a slap on the wrist, but I think flushing a 60 year relationship down the toilet is an equally bad decision.

[brush]

19. It's way deeper than that. One would have to be completely naive to think that...

the admin. did not know this was coming. Remember Kushner went to SA and gave the crown prince an enemies list he had procured from intel. Khashoggi's name was undoubtedly on that list.

Shortly thereafter Kushner's debt on 666 5th Avenue was suddenly paid. In effect, the trump administration signed off on Khashoggi's murder, which coincedently, happened two weeks before Nikki Haley stepped down. She got wind of the murder and didn't want to have her name associated with it.

So if you're ok with the WH being complicit in murder and dismemberment...

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Dumb Question From A Dumb Person

Because the obvious retort, is "Yes, why not?" It is the responsibility of the person claiming the importance of the relationship to explain why it CAN'T be thrown away.

Of course, that buffoon would be incapable of providing a cogent answer.

[Blue Owl]

20. Hey Eric time for your milk break

n/t

[Vinca]

22. You could be next, Eric. Cross the prince and you might be sliced and diced and put in a box.

It's mind boggling how money is more important to these cretins than human life.

[Initech]

23. Yes, we should, dipshit!

That deal is dirty and the last thing we should do is sell that wretched country weapons. They will not use them for good.

[niyad]

24. duhhhhh. . .YES, you fucking asshole.

[Bettie]

25. Yes, yes you are you

little piece of excrement.

[Bleacher Creature]

26. Another lovely sentiment from the "pro-birth, but then you're on your own" party.

[randr]

27. So who could they kill that would warrent a reaction?

After all he was just a journalist.

[raccoon]

28. Who gives a flying toot what he thinks? nt

[struggle4progress]

29. "They whacked a reporter! Cool! I'm gonna do that some day!

[onecaliberal]

30. Gezus Christ.

[CatMor]

31. Gee ... all the Crown Prince did was ...

have his henchmen murder and hack to bits a innocent human being. So according to Eric what's the big deal. The whole trump family is evil and ignorant.

[Moostache]

32. Hey Eric, Herm Edwards wants to talk to you...

[sammythecat]

33. Such an inept sociopath

Doesn't even know he should make a little effort to hide his utter indifference regarding other people. A rotten person and not very bright.

[MineralMan]

34. You're a moron, Eric. Here's how it works:

If you want to be a friend and ally, here's a list of things you can't do. If you do them, I will withdraw my support for you. So, if you value the relationship, you won't do those things. That's how we deal with individuals, and that's how we should deal with nations that are led by individuals.

Simple.

Oh, Eric, by the way. You're a dick. Don't bother me any more.
