This is a picture for the ages. #Khashoggi's son, Salah, is summoned to the palace and has to shake hands with the man accused of ordering his father's murder.

1. MSB is one sick fuck.

[MontanaMama]

2. JFC.

This is sick.

[CatMor]

3. Shaking hands with your father's murderer ....

they could have declined the invite. Very sick.

[bronxiteforever]

5. Invitation like a tea party?

One of these people is banned from leaving Saudi Arabia. Can you guess which?

[dawg]

10. Does that look like the face of a man who could have declined the invite to you?

Because it looks like something completely different to me.

[CatMor]

14. He looks like a frightened man ....

the world is watching right now so I'm not sure they would do anything to him at this point. Reports of his father's body parts being found and you shaking the hand of the murderer who had it done is sad. Maybe sometimes you have to do the right thing.

[dawg]

16. Sadly, he probably *is* doing the right thing.

I'm sure he has other family members.

[bronxiteforever]

19. How many of your family members would you be willing to sacrifice

To do the right thing?

Dictators and royal families have thousands of years of experience in compelling compliance from browbeaten subjects.

In Saudi Arabia they killed a guy for “practicing witchcraft”. This sentence was carried out in 2014.
Also, the press is owned by the Royals. No one would hear you or your family scream.

21. My thought was the world is watching right now...

I guess you have to let this despot keep doing what he's doing and just keep quiet. I do understand the son is protecting himself and his family. I don't know what I would do if I had to shake hands with someone who murdered my father. I feel for the son and hope someday he can leave just as his father did.

23. It does make me appreciate our fragile Republic

And why the Con must be defeated while we still have a free press.

[irisblue]

20. Doesn't seem likely to happen in Saudia Arabia

MSB would go after every member of that family. That point has bern made, very clearly.

[Freethinker65]

4. Was he summoned with threat of a bone saw?

[robbedvoter]

6. Have you seen The Death of Stalin?

Absolute dictators are all alike, whatever ideology put them there. Staling's victims were yelling "Long live comrade Stalin! before being shot.

[bronxiteforever]

9. I have and do you remember how Beria kept family members in prison

To compel compliance of others.

[gratuitous]

7. This is why I think the bungling of the assassination has been intentional

Trump's pronouncement on 60 Minutes that he does what he does because he's the president and you're not is of a piece with his lack of regret for slagging on his adversaries of the moment. He "won," so he doesn't regret anything. Regrets are for losers. The Saudis are cut from the same cloth: We can kill someone with complete impunity. We can carve him into pieces. We can send a body double out to walk around in the dead man's clothes to create a controversy. We can force his son to come and shake hands for the cameras. What can you do about it? Nothing.

18. Someday, he won't be the president.

If we can elect a Dem president and keep him in office for eight years, it means that Trump will have to face investigations and legal consequences for at least that long. That is, if we prevail over the coming Constitutional crisis issues.

[gratuitous]

25. And may that day be soon in coming

Some up-and-coming Democrats are going to get elected soon, and they are going to have to dedicate the first part of their career to tracking this stuff down, which is too bad. But it's got to be done. The Watergate remedy got short-circuited by Ford's pardon of Nixon. So we still have the likes of Roger Stone running around. Iran/contra suffered the same fate when George H.W. Bush pardoned everyone in the dead of night Christmas Eve 1992 after he'd lost re-election. The sins of the Bush II administration went unpunished when the Democrats decided not to look backwards to the past, but rather forward to the future in some misguided attempt not to criminalize what they deemed to be political differences. I don't think that worked out very well.

It's going to take an act of political will, and Democrats will have to show themselves every bit as impervious to bogus Republican charges of partisanship as Republicans are to legitimate charges of wrongdoing. For example, Harry Reid consistently honored the blue slip tradition for federal judgeships. Mitch McConnell has shown no such compunction in stacking the federal courts with ideological partisans.

8. This is beyond fucked! What a disgusting piece of shit. nt

[spanone]

11. unbelievable. they probably threatened his entire family including distant relatives.

these are trumps kind of rulers

A real President could do a lot about it.

[bronxiteforever]

12. +1000

[niyad]

13. does he still have all his fingers?

[BeckyDem]

15. MSB is a monster.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. The look between those two men...omigod.

[lillypaddle]

22. I'm sickened

and terrified for Salah and his family.

[eissa]

24. Apparently, Salah and his family have been prohibited from leaving SA

for over a year. The royal family will never be held accountable for the many atrocities they commit, and they know it. If Salah didn't go, he and his family could very easily have "disappeared" and no one could do a thing about it.

27. You might be on the right trail.

Malcolm Nance has said this would play out this way,and the Youngest Guy in the Death Squad will be Martyred . And the rest will be sent to MECCA for the balance of their days.

Thanks for paying attention,this so called Prince will use the threat of Killing the whole family and he might just do it out of spite.

On another note,Trump has used the Killing of whole families threat in his Rallies from the get go.

[Grasswire2]

31. your last sentence. Yes he has. He's a monster -- not yet fully revealed. nt

[Wellstone ruled]

34. Wonder how many actually remember Trump doing this.

He is one vindictive POS.

BTW,notice how Trump is not attacking Team Mueller lately. All by design. Mueller story hurts the GOP big time.

[Grasswire2]

35. plus he's like a madman right now

Throwing as much into the whirlwind as he can to keep people "dazzled". Like a vaudevillian gone mad. Six acts simultaneously.

[Wellstone ruled]

38. All by design.

Trump's main shit show is in full bloom. Watching for the State of New York to move on His Criminal Operation in December or January.

Right now the Media is doing their best to reelect Trump's Protectors to office. And if they fail in two weeks,then Trump will be the story,and the hand that feeds will be bitten.

[malaise]

26. He would have had to kill me before I showed up

Sorry

[Cattledog]

29. I've been to SA. It doesn't work that way.

They wouldn't kill you...they would go after your family and probably have you watch as they killed one of them.

[Grasswire2]

32. maybe he has children? I don't know. nt

[C_U_L8R]

28. What a trump thing to do

Fucking heinous. Our country should have nothing to do with these murderous tyrants

[Wintryjade]

39. That is it. A Trump thing to do. I was thinking of what Trump said about separating families.

All about just being mean.

[dalton99a]

30. This is beyond sick.

[Grasswire2]

33. where is the fiancee? anyone know? nt

[eissa]

37. I think in Turkey

Hopefully under some protection.

[lame54]

36. Thought it was MBS...
