Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.
As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

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."

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

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."

“Things happen.”
Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate.
Shameful. So shameful.

A “Have you no sense of decency?” moment?
Epstein survivor Jena-Lisa Jones: "I beg you, President Trump, please stop making this political. It's not about you, President Trump. You are our president — please start acting like it…I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

In Prague, activists hung Ukrainian flags outside the home of Czech parliament speaker Tomio Okamura, who recently removed the Ukrainian flag from the parliament building after taking office. A pointed response to a move seen as pro-Russian and out of step with Czech support for Ukraine.

Netušil jsem, že Heathcliff z “Na větrné hůrce” zřejmě byl Rom.
When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/
