You know, every time I see another report about how the Saudis insist that Jamal Khashoggi's death was "accidental", I say "bullshit".
Nothing says "accidental" like a bone saw and a body-double.
They keep changing their story, and the only one who says he believes them is 45. Of course. Can't cut off your main source of financing.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button."The husband gets home only to find the wife in a mad crazy hot sex escapade with a younger good looking lover. The husband totally blinded by the emotions taken the best of him and without hesitation and disregard for any civility in a split second takes the now empty couch and throw it out the window"....... The lover is the Saudis, the wife is the journalist getting killed, the husband is our insane obsession to put the blame in the wrong place and the couch, well the couch of course represents Trump. I don't understand how do we collectively make the connection from all that to the conclusions on several responses. Why/how is this Trumps fault? People get killed around the world every day, why this one is on Trump's back?

I never said this murder was 45's fault.
What I said was that he is supporting their lies. Granted, his comments are changing as much as theirs.
This one man's murder "matters" because it demonstrates just what a goddamned hypocrite 45 is. He rails against the press here, but uses Khashoggi's murder as an example of how important they are.
45 is also a hypocrite because he is determined that the arms deal still goes through, and he will tell whatever lies he feels he needs to tell in order to justify staying in business with the Saudis. For instance, the number of American jobs the arms deal will "create". First it was 250,000 jobs, then it was 400,000 jobs, then 500,000 jobs, then it was 1,000,000 jobs. All out of 45's mouth. The White House website gives a number of 40,000 jobs.
Not to mention, he gets a lot of his financing from SA. They also buy his properties, which he is STILL making money from, when he was supposed to have divested when he got elected.
I do not agree with your analogy either.
Saudi's have their kingdom, they do whatever they want. trump want to be king and literally thinks he can get away with murder. We'll see.

Saudis have been getting away with Murder..."Literally" for a long time...if memory serves me 9 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi...and then Bush gave the Bin Laden families that were living in America their own private flight OUT of the country immediately after the attack...to "PROTECT" the families from being attacked....REALLY???? Would
have been nice to interrogate them...but they get a
free pass? The 3000+ people in the WTC and on the planes didn't get a free pass...BITCHES

Exactly. Far too many people have conveniently forgotten that little fact.
Most of the 9/11 perpetrators had SA passports. The Bush family has had long-held ties with the Saudi royal family. 45 gets a good bit of his financing from them, as well. Yet, 45's idiot supporters ignore all of that.
Exactly. Totally agree. Murder pure and simple.

I wonder why the news didn't spend so much time reporting the Saudi women's rights activists who were arrested in May and haven't been heard from since?

Well, for one thing, they were "only" activists. They weren't a male columnist for an American media outlet.
They weren't as, you know, "important".
