WOW. History in the making folks. And it was all waiting for a President that could backstop them during their reforms, who wasn't a Political Islamicist Sympathizer or Neoliberal, but a man of business.
The blogger Raif Badawi, for example, has been in prison since 2012 despite an international effort to free him
Might want to hold off on yet another celebration until you see what exactly unfolds in the line of "reforms". The only real reform right now seems to be a quick consolidation of power into one person's hands and a go along with Washington to some degree to marginalize Iran somewhat. Be careful what you wish for on this one, they are playing footsie with the Russians as well concerning arms etc. and we may find ourselves on the short end of the stick once again.

Look how far we've come. Leftists who had no problem with Saudi Arabia's big donations to Obama and Hillary and the Clinton Foundation, it now cuts no ice with them to see Women Driving and their detractors arrested, long time Wahabi symps and even Princes being sacked, calls for restoring Moderate Islam, and sports events open to women, too. Just in the past few weeks after the Orb of Covfefe meeting and the announcement by the Crown Prince.
What next? Calling Donna Brazille a liar? I thought she dindu nuttin'?
I continue to be amazed in 2017, watching the Democrats turn into the Party that hates the working class, spews "never again!" McCarthyism, it's biggest donors are sexpest sleezeballs, a Senator up on corruption charges and accused of sleeping with underage girls, etc. etc.
Please run Kamala Harris in 2020.
Just what is going on in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia needs hot chicks fucking on the floor of burning mosques and FREE! beer and bacon sandwiches for the entire kingdom!

Looks like our hold on the Saudis is increasing. Nothing like destroying the mother of all terrorism from the inside.
I have a very bad feeling about the next King in the making here. Again, like Trump, I hope to be proven wrong, but I do not think the 2030 plan, or women driving, is anything but breadcrumbs. There isn't going to be a major shift toward a more egalitarian society here. I think there will, however, be new power dynamics and a much more active Saudi presence.

"Our hold"? If you mean power is being concentrated into a single individual, who is an extremely savy politician, and ruthless enough to oust and imprison foes, to cement central rule ... is a "hold" ... surrrreeeee ... Trump is more like kitten MbS blew his nose on, comparatively.
A source reportedly told the Daily Mail that the group has since been subjected to “interrogations” carried out by “American mercenaries” brought in to work for the Crown Prince, 32, who is now the kingdom’s most powerful figure.
“They are beating them, torturing them, slapping them, insulting them. They want to break them down,” the source told the site.
among them Prince Alwaleed bin Talal whose $US10 billion fortune makes him the 10th richest man on the planet.

What? A mere $10 billion is pathetic, making him about the the 156th richest man in the world:

He tried to portray himself as a self made billionaire. ROFL ROFL.
A Saudi with intelligence? Very rare indeed.

KSA was smart enough to fuck over America for 50 years so far. They are using your money to pay terrorists to attack us as we speak.
LOL. Trumpcucks are embracing another authoritarian regime. Nothing new here really.
Insider claims Saudi princes and billionaires ‘tortured and insulted’ following brutal crackdown. SAUDI royalty and billionaires are being strung up by their feet and beaten by American private security contractors, according to insider reports.
There is no doubt that 80 odd years of oil pumping has created a very mixed society in Saudi Arabia with indescribable wealth balanced against a struggling Saudi underclass. The young people are revolting – as everywhere, and want part of the action. The state has been increasingly paying out vast amounts to keep Saudis in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. The oil price collapse has driven home the fact that no country, not even Saudi, can afford to just pay its people to do nothing.
That's why they've divested in Countries all over the world.
All thanks to our new best friend, MBS the Prince of Arabia.Strategist says
Our only choice is to control them through puppets like the Crown Prince MBS.

You guys are really funny. How many radical imans around the world have been stopped from preaching terrorism? How many radical madras (aka terrorist training schools) around the world have been shut down? How many saudi's nave been arrested for sending out money to terrorists? The answer would be zero/zilch/nada/none.
The people arrested have only 2 traits. They have big bank accounts to confiscate and they have enough power to oppose MBS. The whole thing is a power grab, nothing to do with reform of any kind.
But hey keep on dreaming.
