To Trump, its customer service. To US citizens, its emoluments, baby!

Follow the money. Russians and the Saudis were each large buyers of Trump properties.

When people get past the naive notion that Trump is the POTUS and interested in doing what is in the best interest of America, then they will see Trump for what is: a self-dealing tyrant.

None of these guys are "getting over it". If Trump goes down, and I think it's nearly inevitable, he's unhinged and eventually even the GOP will cut their losses, but this is beyond all that. Twenty years from now there wil still be a few of these MAGA fools around sleeping with pictures of the guy like he was Jim Jones. Especially the Qanon typs. It's probably clinically diagnoseable by now.

You know they'll just deny it, but I think Cenk from TYT is right when he says what this truly boils down to is Trump hating brown people just like flyover country does. Hate the same people and gives them a common enemy and purpose, even if it is complete bull****.

It appears that the CIA has an audio recording between Prince Mohammed and his brother Khaled bin Salman, who is Saudi’s ambassador to the US, in which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman gave instructions to "silence Jamal Khashoggi as soon as possible".

First of all it would be absolute proof of Mohammed bin Salman's guilt in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi but it also uncovers one other fact and that fact is that our CIA was wiretapping the phones of the Saudis.

Report claims CIA has ‘smoking gun phone call’ linking Saudi crown prince to Jamal Khashoggi killing; Trump still stands by Saudis

A Turkish newspaper claimed Thursday that the Central Intelligence Agency has heard a "smoking gun phone call" of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with an alleged instruction to "silence Jamal Khashoggi as soon as possible."

The allegation was published in Turkey's Hürriyet Daily News, a well-established newspaper. The claim could not be independently verified by USA TODAY. The CIA could not be reached for comment. It rarely reacts to reports about its activities.

"The crown prince gave an instruction to silence Jamal Khashoggi as soon as possible and this instruction was captured during (a) CIA wiretapping," the paper claimed.

CIA Director Gina Haspel traveled to Turkey last month as part of the investigation into the killing of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Haspel has briefed President Donald Trump about her visit.

Saudi Arabia has repeatedly denied its leadership had any knowledge of a plot to kill Khashoggi despite claims by Turkey's government that it has audio recordings indicating the contrary. Trump has cast aside calls from U.S. lawmakers and international allies to punish the Saudi crown prince for Khashoggi's slaying. Trump said Tuesday the benefits of good business relations with Saudi Arabia outweigh the possibility that the crown prince ordered the killing. Khashoggi was a U.S. resident at the time of his death.

On Thursday, Trump said the crown prince “regretted the death more than I do” and reiterated his position that there was no conclusive evidence tying the crown prince to Khashoggi’s murder.

OK, other than the media reporting such a thing, when the media is often wrong... Where is the link to the recording?

Factual proof please. Not what some journalist says.

I guess it's a better way to spend their time than makiing more spending bills that are a waste on money.

Bring it on! They wpon't get anywhere. There's nothing to find, except media publicity that will likely blow up on them.

Misleading thread title. Turkey claims the CIA has a recording. The CIA will never confirm or deny this.

He is Jim Jones.... Check out this profile of a cult leader from an FBI profiler. Trump has about 40 of the 50 attributes.

From article below: "....Here are the typical traits of the pathological cult leader (from Dangerous Personalities) you should watch for and which shout caution, get away, run, or avoid if possible...."

Of course, a good cult leader needs irrational followers. He has plenty of them.
