Jamal Khashoggi dismembering and murder
Read this, it's from the White House so you can click it and it won't take your guns away.

Here’s a note to all the conservatives in this thread in the most civil language I can manage:
Have you read the statement the White House issued? Don’t rely on a news summary; read it.
Your leader wrote (or dictated) an official White House statement explaining that he has decided to continue to do business with a despot who killed a US resident in a foreign embassy. That is the most generous interpretation of yesterday’s statement.
But before he gets on topic, he spends three paragraphs defending the Saudi war in Yemen and celebrating KSA arms deals.
Then there’s one mealy-mouthed four sentence paragraph addressing the murder itself, before your leader repeats - at greater length than the prior paragraph- Saudi talking points casting the WaPo journalist as a terrorist.
As a final middle finger salute to justice, your leader concludes by relaying not-so-veiled Saudi threats to cut off oil and destroy jobs if the US holds the Saudis accountable in any material way. He is essentially saying “Nice economy you got here, would be a shame if you let your values get in the way”.
Your leader is a coward; and in letting MBS off the hook, he’s complicit. The world knows it, and you know it.
