Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Tgo01]

They've changed their story several times. Originally they said it wasn't there, when they were caught they said "Oh, they were just supposed to detain him and it escalated into a fight" and now they are saying it is "premeditated but by rogue operatives." Either way, the shit happened on their embassy, and rogue elements or not, they tried to destroy the body and cover it up. In a court of law, the Government is in the VERY LEAST an accessory to murder.

If none of it was sanctioned then the government is not an accessory to murder. I'm finding it hard to believe the agents acted on their own but that's what the government is claiming thus far.

Again, the Government changed their story from a very real, sanctioned attempt at kidnapping him to rogue operatives and premeditated murder. And they Government certainly helped destroy the body. You don't murder a guy in the middle of an Embassy, move his body to the Ambassador's house, and stick it in a vat of acid. The Government knew exactly what was going on. Even Trump said he isn't buying what the Government is saying. You shouldn't either.

However, I do believe that Turkey should take the lead on this, as they've been doing.

I said I find their story hard to believe, but if their story is true then the government didn't sanction it. Unless they are openly admitting to sanctioning the cover up.

That is just it. Their story ISN'T true. The already admitted to wanting to kidnapping, fully sanctioned and originally said he died in a fight from that fully sanctioned kidnapping attempt. They THEN changed it to say that it was premeditated murder and that it was rogue operatives. The Saudi Government is lying its fucking ass off. If you read everything out there about this it is very easy to see.

I don't understand why you can think it isn't sanctioned when someone gets murdered in their embassy and then dissolved into a vat of acid and the Government does absolutely nothing about it except create multiple false stories and lie.

And even regardless of all of that, the Government very clearly played a roll in covering it up. That is accessory to murder.

Didn't they arrest like 20 people over it? That's not exactly them doing nothing.

Also so far the acid story is being provided by anonymous sources and even the Turkish officials haven't said that's what they believe happened yet.

Unless the extradite them to Turkey, they really haven't done anything.

Last I heard the government was calling it an unsactioned murder, have they changed their story?

US should have cut ties with house saud years ago. Good to see the Pentagon is slowly doing it.

Amazes me how most Democrats always want to turn on our allies yet at the same time give billions of dollars to our enemies. Almost as if you hate America. Weird.

Note: I'm not saying we should do nothing if the allegations about the murder are true, but at least pretend to have some consistency with your stances.

Iran funds terrorism all over the region, murders dozens of their own citizens for protesting, and wants to build a nuke while screaming "DEATH TO AMERICA AND ISRAEL!"

Democrats' response? "Let's give them money and make it easier for them to get even more money by lift sanctions!"

Saudi Arabia supposedly murders some journalist.

Democrats' response? "Before we even see any evidence let's punish Saudi Arabia!"

Once again, you're prescribing my own political beliefs to me. You're not arguing with me. You're arguing against a stereotype of me. You ignore the point I make, make up a point to argue against it, and then argue it. Do you have any idea how blatantly retarded your strategy is?
