Now, cutting a journalist up with a bone saw is just something that happens, and another journo is cast as nasty or a pig because she dare ask why we whitewash the dismembering of a colleague. Only a fool would move a dead body in one piece... Using a bone saw on the journalist (arms dealer) post mortem is pragmatic... More pieces, easier to lift, and easier on everyone's backs... Was he a friend of yours?

Its naive to believe that under Trump anything has changed about the US government's approach to the Saudi's. What may have changed is the public's perception of the arrangement. Because anything Trump does requires more inspection, criticism, and scrutiny. It doesn't matter that his predecessors have engaged in the exact same arrangement. The US, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has supported the Saudi monarchy for over 60 years. Because of oil.

Because of oil. Of course there’s fault on Both sides. Biden fist bumped because they were screwing with what ultimately was the price of gas. Trump is kind of doing the same thing, just way more loudly and overtly. Hence the line about grabbing the hand and not first bumping yesterday. What Trump didn’t have to do was whitewash the slaughter of an innocent journalist. We used to stand for something. Maybe we still do. It’s just now greed, corruption, and shamelessness. 1 1

Was it greed, corruption or shamelessness when Biden enacted a number of executive orders on his first day that damaged the US energy industry at the drilling, refining and transportation levels, and then, when things got uncomfortably expensive, and polling numbers indicated the US citizens were tired of increasing energy costs to beg the Saudis to increase production. Then, when they told him to pound sand, he asked them to at least delay production reductions until after the mid terms, only to raid the Strategic Oil Reserve for non "strategic" reasons; simply for price. Greed, corruption or simply shameless horrible leadership, or maybe he was already incompetent, which would become undeniably evident soon after. 1

Or it might have been political malpractice not to later explain that Biden drilled more oil than Trump. Or to articulate that we struggle to refine it in this country. But hey, keep taking about the other guy and excusing the present day grift and incompetence.
