Khashoggi

[One Bad Pig]

You would be much more convincing if you used actual quotes and linked sources. At this point I don't believe anything you say, especially if you admit to "paraphrasing"

JimL's not here to convince people. He's stated repeatedly that we're not smart enough to understand the truth anyway, so why bother?

Which is why I pretty much just ignore JimL.

I think most of us would need to undergo a frontal lobotomy to have the sorta smarts that jimmy demonstrates.

Here is one of trumps responses to whether or not to respond to the saudi involvement in the khashoggi killing.

TRUMP: We'll have to see what happens. A lot of work is being done on that, and we're going to have to see what happens. I don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country on -- I know they're talking about different kinds of sanctions, but they're spending $110 billion on military equipment and on things that create jobs, like jobs and others, for this country.

I don't like the concept of stopping an investment of $110 billion into the United States.... I will tell you, upfront, right now, and I'll say it in front of senators: They're spending $110 billion purchasing military equipment and other things.... I would not be in favor of stopping a country from spending $110 billion -- which is an all-time record.

Iow, they are giving us lots of money, so i can forgive this little nasty on their part.

Can you provide an actual link? Or some context? or a time frame?

"Source Trump" doesn't really cut it.

ok I found your source for you.



And there was more to it than that. He said he didn't want to use sanctions but that something needed to be done. And at the time they were not sure what happened. It was all hypothetical.

Q Well, do you think they should pay a price if it turns out that the Saudis are responsible?

The point was more to show that you could easily have looked it up yourself if you cared to know. Seems silly to demand i do all the work for you

Careful, there, Jim --- JimL actually practices that routinely!

Are you an adult? Why be petty like this?

I'll spoon feed you when I feel like it, in the meantime, if you really care, which I know you don't, you know how to check the validity of my claim.

[JimL]

Well, if the shoe fits, OBP. It's not that you're not smart enough though, you're all plenty smart enough here, it's just that you're stuck in a certain mindset, and there is very little anyone can do to convince you otherwise. You're on team Trump now, you have to continue defending him, because in doing so you are defending yourselves.

Now maybe you'll understand why I don't always go out of my way to cite my sources. For one thing you could check my claim for yourself if you actually cared. For another, you just hand wave them away anyway.

I was looking up an example FOR you to satisfy your complaint against jiml. This has been in the news over and over again. The compaint jiml didnt provide a link was mostly just an excuse to slam him personally, as opposed to engaging his point. So my point to you is given this isnt my fight and I did you a favor, you have nothing to complain about, and I had no obligation to do anything at all, let alone be criticised for not doing more.
