Two private jets and members of the CPs’ security team and the “forensic expert” (specializing in “mobile autopsies”) might be a tell?


........and near real time phone/text confirmation...............KSA does Keystone Cops?

Yep, one must develop and use a more refined plan when working outside of your own gang's turf. These morons seemed to have decided that the Saudi embassy was just like a Saudi city where nobody sees a thing.

Good points, Dave. But is the Prince actually dumb enough to think that the world will forget this after a few years when he quietly pardons them?

Then again, who will step up and take the chance of reporting it? Who wants to die like Khashoggi?

If you can't take the heat, stay out of the fascism.

Recipe for fascism:

1 cup of racism.
1 cup of hatred.
1 heaping tablespoon of FOX News, with a pinch of Washington Examiner, a dash of Breitbart, and add a little Stormfront for flavor.
1 quart of Donald Trump..... WTF!! Empty the whole gallon!!

Put them all in a pot, and watch the whole mess boil over. You won't even need a stove.

Serve it up to the party faithful, and call it Kool Aid.

Well done, Jim Jones.

NOTE: To be consumed with vodka.

Killing opposing press is patently fascist. Look it up.

If you post fascist crap, don't get all pissy-victim when others call it out. What's worse than fascism? Crybaby fascism. No one can stand that.
Killing opposing press? It's not trump's fault they can't sell their views anymore, and that technology has allowed people to get their news from independent content creators on youtube. That's just how it goes man. Trump can't do nothin'.

What does Trump have to do with anything? First you're all "Godwin"; now, you're all "Trump". What does any of that have to do with the pathetic fascist garbage that you posted?

I’m not sure there is “choice” here!

Well these "suspects" or their families could do a tell all and say who really was guilty if the state dares to execute them...

Let them kill each other. Saudi Arabia oppresses it's people, Khashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood promoter (NOT a journalist), and there are no cut and dry good guys. They're ALL bad. I don't know much about the Prince to say that he is no different than the people that ran the country before him, but to the old guard that are still very active in Saudi Arabian government, let them do the dirty work for us. If the Muslim Brotherhood starts offing people in that government, let them do it. Then if there's a major conflict between both groups, we, the US, would go in, and wipe out whoever the winner is. Then, the country(s) that was (were) oppressed should be convinced to throw out oppressive and unfair laws like Sharia Law. The people in that area can truly live their lives freely without a big, out of control government dictating what they can and can't do. For now, though, we should just stay out of it. No point in getting involved when the people over there want to kill us first before they kill each other.

Meh, Kashoggi was an islamist anyway, who constantly worked against the US. I can hardly cry over KSA killing one of their own.

Yeah right-wingers generally have a hard time pushing out tears for anyone other than themselves. And especially not for dead journalists.

*edit

Case and point:

Oh, well if he was a liberal journalist, MBS should get a medal.

Disgusting.

Or is he is smart enough to see the worlds reaction (no action) to the million or so in Rohingya and undetermined amount China has rounded up and put in “cultural rehabilitation camps”, and believes no one will care enough to do anything about it?
