I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

What's amazing here is that MBS looks more uncomfortable about the direction the conversation took than Trump does.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

🚨 Kudos to Mary Bruce from ABC News for having the guts to ask the porcine POTUS about his family profiteering from his presidency & asking Saudi crown prince about orchestrating the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. 👏

Massie on Johnson: "He's trying to say that rich & powerful men who were on the plane to Epstein island are now victims because their names would get disclosed. I think that's how a Christian man can stand up there & say a lie like that is he has something in his head that makes it okay"

Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

It's a key tell that Trump propagandists are now claiming not just that he wants the Epstein files released, but also that they're getting released ONLY BECAUSE HE ORDERED IT TO HAPPEN. For Trump, the *perception* of his mastery over the GOP is what matters most.

14% of Americans (46.6 million people) live within one mile of at least one piece of fossil fuel infrastructure across all stages of the supply chain.

This proximity is known to cause health harms.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

It's all been leading up to the "President Donald Trump is a white-hat pedophile, actually" gambit. All of American history has been leading up to it.
