I long ago gave up thinking anything could shake the devotion of The Base, but Trumps calculating, mercenary reaction to the horrific Kashoggi murder , makes me think surely, surely, this will make the scales fall from their eyes.

OTOH I wonder if they would even mind if Trump personally committed the murder.

The Turks have audio and video recordings. Trump lied and said we had a big arms deal pending w the Saudis and we can’t mess that up. Plus Kashoggi was not even a citizen.

Plus it’s only a fake news reporter.

Mind? They'd cheer. They're just waiting for someone to declare 'open season on undesirables' so they can jump in and start shooting people themselves.

Donnie asking if he was a citizen and seemingly not caring when told he has resident status. Ugh.

I'm seeing NOTHING about this on most news stations, just on Twitter. The base has no clue, and since it's about the Middle East, I'm sure they think the guy deserved what he got :mad:
MSNBC covers it and it gets asked about in news conferences.

It just shows how cowardly, how craven, Trump makes the entire country seem. And this big arms deal is not even a real thing. Even if it was, when has a president ever come right out and said we are going to make decisions based on money, even when that’s exactly what we are doing — now, there is no shame about it: pay us, and we will allow anything. Like Yemen.

Everything is transactional with him. Look at how he is treating Europe with his NATO threats. He's always about demanding money from others, no matter any underlying issues.

Conversely, if someone praises him or gives him money at one of his businesses, he's all ears.

I don't think most GOP supporters watch MSNBC
No mention on the Fox website. Lots on WaPo, since he worked for them.
Washington Post: Breaking News, World, US, DC News & Analysis

He went to the embassy to get some papers for his upcoming wedding. And they dismembered him.

ETA Yes, Fox covered the interview where Trump says we can’t put the fictional arms deal at risk.

At a rally he brazenly explains his real concern, that the Saudis buy apartments from him:

Ugh. Morals is not a word her understands. Money is all he knows and cares about. That is probably why we see him support dictators who go into foreign countries and murder others.

I can't help but think of the fiance waiting outside the consulate. Breaks my heart. It brings home the loss and the horror of this act.

Oh he understands money (as possessions, much like owning all other humans in his mind right now).

The transition money, he thought that was for him. Personally.

And whatever happened to that inauguration money?

Be interesting to eventually see what happened to that 0.5% of Rosneft too.
