“Things happen” has to be one of the grossest statements I’ve ever heard when discussing a killing and dismemberment of a journalist. Trump is atrocious.
"things happen"; sometimes people are just randomly dismembered with bone saws. especially journalists who ask me mean questions.
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."

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Unfortunately I absolutely believe this. I see it every damn day. Education in this country is sadly lacking. Look no further than the current resident of the White House who both exemplifies it in his person and in his elected position.

For those who have read 1984 by Orwell, there is a lovely example of doublespeak by Karoline Leavitt discussing the East Wing destruction today. Apparently, modernized means demolished now. For further examples of doublespeak watch Leavitt's daily press briefings. #Booktok #EpsteinBallroom #Trumpsux

Keep sharing these pics. This is atrocious. Destroyed by one man's ego and his desire to make gold painted Mar-a-Lago-like detritus wherever he goes. #EastWing
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

What is the purpose? To instill fear in communities, especially immigrant communities, and predominately Democrat prevalent areas...for what purpose? Because it keeps people silent & at home instead of being vocal at protests & casting votes during elections...?
ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
