Absolutely.
The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.

Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files can’t be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under national security.
✅ Reality check: Jeffrey Epstein was a civilian, with no government contracts, nothing he did should ever be considered classified.

So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?
MBS claims the murder of Khashoggi was "a huge mistake and we're our doing our best that this doesn't happen again."

Same.
For the life of me I don't understand why the White House press corps continues to debase itself. (Congress too, for that matter.)

His lies are self-preservation & entirely transactional.
Though this is a guy who has more than enough money & power to live like a king for the rest of his life, NOTHING - not even murder - can get in the way of him making billions more.

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

This is how the depraved, unprincipled Trump excuses the murder of Jamal Khashoggi : blame the victim.
“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,” he says sitting with the culpable MBS.
Sickening and infuriating.

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone.
Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it.
