A question for our House and Senate?

[kentuck]

Why would we want to sell $100 billion dollars of military weaponry to the country that attacked us on 9/11? That is the deal that Trump is reportedly making with the Saudis on this trip, with the assistance of Jared Kushner, his son-in-law.

Are they so blind to have no opinion about the matter?

1. Because thug recognizes thug

2. Democrats have a tough time talking to the people...

...about issues like this, it seems?

4. thugs of a feather are mugging together

3. You realize that weapons sales to the Saudis also were made by Obama

We can't put this all on the Repubs.

6. The sale Twitler is executing is the one President Obama

negotiated. However, PBO was concerned Saudis would use weapons against the people of Yemen so it may have been on hold. Also the deal PBO negotiated was for 115 billion. Twitler gave them a 4 billion dollar discount.

We can expect to see lots of terrorism but not against any Twitler properties in Muslim majority countries.

7. I would say it doesn't matter if was Obama or Trump that negotiated the "deal".

It is wrong and dangerous.

5. They have no power to alter anything.

I have noticed that many on this board still want to blame Democrats (not saying you) for bad policy in a GOP controlled Congress. Democrats have little say and have fought hard to stop Trump. Right now we have to save health care and the lives of millions. If you are referring to the majority party in Congress, the GOP, they don't care. We put a monster in the White House and those that opined that Hillary Clinton was the 'same' as Trump and after Trump why the revolution would come were dangerously wrong. There will be no revolution...perhaps with Trump's bumbling we get the House and Senate when all is said and done. However, we live with the consequences of Trump's policies for decades in terms of damage to the environment, SCOTUS and the possibility that Trump may use nuclear weapons somewhere...most likely Korea.
