The Obama Chronicles Vol 3 - Obama insults Nancy Reagan with tasteless joke

[DTB2]

It's the CIA's that the media parrots. So you don't buy the CIA's, and the United Nation's findings. How strange that is!

Not strange at all. Tell me how much you believe what the CIA pumps out.

Ah, but it is not the medias representation. It's the CIA's that the media parrots. So you don't buy the CIA's, and the United Nation's findings. How strange that is!

Let me add that neither you nor I are aware of what process was used by the Obama administration when they went after certain U.S. citizens, possibly dual citizens or those who had renounced their citizenship. We should have been made aware of that process. I am opposed to any nation killing any non-war combatant, without due process. Obama's use of drones disturbs me, but I admit I am not aware of the process used to determine targets. I might be somewhat less disturbed if I was better informed on that issue.

Regardless, I am astounded at your illogical suggestion that because someone in the past might have got away with some horrible crime, or because the world is rife with injustices, we would somehow now be justified in over looking yet another horrible crime; a crime for which nearly all details are known with great certainty due to the Turks having bugged the Saudi Consulate. They have provided a recording of the entire event. The United nations has also investigated and confirmed both what the U.S. CIA and the Turkish government has concluded regarding the Khashoggi killing. There can be no question regarding the guilty party in this instance.

There are ways to deal with this via the international courts that would make MBS a wanted criminal and prevent his traveling to the United States or the EU. The Trump administration should be pursuing that avenue of response, but instead they are partnering with the Saudi regime, a thoroughly authoritarian, corrupt regime. There are other measures, and should be, taken as well.

You think the media ran with the Khashoggi killing for moral purposes and they were trying to highlight injustice? Is this supposed to be a joke or a crude attempt at trolling? The media had a very precise goal in mind, and it wasnt to highlight injustice.

The media has a long history of which stories they show outrage about and what stories they sweep under the carpet and injustice is never a determining factor of the exposure it gets.

And for the killing of the US citizen. There is a document that we utilize to determine such cases, its called the US Constitution. It was not followed in any way, shape, or form.

I have determined that this thread needs a balloon break.

So there!

Man, I miss the 80's, when people were mostly innocent.
