It was so obvious to me when Pompeo went to Saudi immediately after the story blew up that I assumed it was common knowledge that the Trump regime had leaped in to help MBS to weather the shit storm.

I just added it mentally to the growing list of unspeakable Trump atrocities.

Didn’t realize it needed proving or corroboration. Of course, Pompeo discussed the murder and offered US help. Anything for one of Trump’s creditors, right?

The overt corruption and that our global policy is utterly deformed by Trump business calculations is so obvious that I’m sometimes taken aback by these sorts of stories.

But I’m glad they’re being reported on. I keep hoping the burning revulsion I feel will spread to all but that lost 30-35% will forgive any crime committed by these human monsters.
