Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office. He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people. Release the transcript.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

Important piece. "The point of a Supreme Court is to create a venue to settle constitutional disputes and interpretations of statute law. It’s not meant to be and shouldn’t be a Guardian Council running the country through a menu of made-to-order cases." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-c...
