Showdown: Senate and Trump clash on Saudis

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Senate is heading toward a showdown with President Trump over Saudi Arabia following last month’s killing of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi.

Senators are expected to force a vote as soon as this week to end U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s military campaign in Yemen, marking the first test of the U.S.-Saudi relationship in Congress since the journalist’s slaying.

If supporters are able to pass the resolution, it would be a significant break from Trump, who signaled last week that he is standing by the Saudi government.

Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are scheduled to brief senators at 11 a.m. Wednesday, when they are expected to face a closed-door grilling as they try to persuade lawmakers to oppose the resolution.

1. Somebody has to get turned into a fly so they can be inside that room and see what kind of balls

the gop have. Will they stand up for journalism and freedom of the press? Or will they pretend he wasn't murdered to smother dissent???
