The political Left in the US sure like their Israel hating Islamists.

And Khashoggi loved Morsi, and cried regularly in the Middle East Monitor, an MB publication, about the fate of Hamas and Syrian Jihadis.

Funny, all of his pieces seem like op-eds, with very little reporting going on.

Did KSA give ttrump the rogue elements story to test drive for them or did trump come up with it and KSA couldn't come up with anything better so they ran with it?

But wait, he got his tie caught in the ceiling fan and strangled before anyone could turn it toff.
No wait, he went into the basement and walked into a clothes line and no one heard him calling for help.
No wait, he was doing an after lunch floss that somehow wound around his neck and .choked him to death.
No wait, he was showing the 15 saudi tourists that just happened to fly in that morning with a bone saw how to skip rope and tangled it around his neck.
No wait, he was walking the embassy dog and the leash tangled around his neck.

ROFLOL. That's the most brilliant shit on patnet in years.

I think you're confused. It's Trump that's sucking up to the Saudis.

It's the Media and the ex-State that wants tough action on Saudi Arabia just when they start liberalizing and warming up to Israel under MbS.

When Saudis were sending fundies abroad with money and telling them to cause mischief elsewhere, the Media and State Department seldom criticized them, and then only mildly, and never called for sanctions, arm sale cancellations, or resignations.

Funny, Turkey is #1 in incarceration of Journalists, and the Media's won criticism has been muted. That's how I know it's not because Khashoggi was a "Journalist".

Maybe that the WaPo is poaching Journalists from the Middle East Monitor, it will poach some from ISIS Magazine next.

How? (I'll bet he cant answer.)

By giving them cover on their ridiculous cover stories. (you lose)

Define cover.

Considering the entire world is reporting this guy was murdered by Saudi agents, Trump must be terrible at providing cover.

Considering that the first announcement was awaiting investigations (Turkey, SA, our own) to complete, I fail to see the cover.

Hey, @Tatupu70, I guess Obama and Bush were providing cover when SA and Iran executed and tortured hundreds of other people.

But I guess a Muslim Brotherhood shill is worth scores of teenagers, homosexuals, and "Witches".

$100B in arms sales arranged by his son in law.

I still think Trump is the greatest president of our lifetimes, but his big flaw is the inability to stand up and tell it like it is about the Saudis: they murdered thousands of Americans on 9/11, funded terrorism around the world, have no democracy, no freedom of speech, and no freedom of religion. I don't care if they are very slowly "liberalizing". It's way too late for that. It was way too late on September 12, 2001.

CBOEtrader says

KSA is barbaric as fuck by our standards. It's as if the world just realized this and is looking to blame all the worlds problems on Trump.

Yes, the left hates KSA entirely and only because Trump is supporting KSA. They really didn't give a shit whose fingers got cut off under any other president.

But in this case, the idiots on the left are very useful idiots.

There is no doubt the Saudis are the greatest fucking savages on the planet. But what can be better than seeing savages destroy themselves?
