Is this the guy that they are claiming Hillary killed for being an Alex Jones insider?

I disagree. Murder works both ways. Coordinated assassinations of the people ruining this planet is the only way.

America is not a representative democracy, it is a constitutionally-limited representative democratic REPUBLIC. I contact my representatives all the time. They either don't reply, or reply with some pre-written lip service bullsh*t. Money is what creates laws and forces change.

Agree. Why I always make sure to vote.

Anyways, Trump is now apparently conceding that Khashoggi was indeed murdered so I can only imagine that the weight of evidence is so damning there is really no way out of this (and I'm sure they tried VERY hard).

My thinking now is that there is no way the Prince can survive this if the Americans stop defending them. So the solution is clear, the Saudis get rid of the prince, apologize and say it was a rogue decision he made. And Bob's your uncle, some grumbling will be had, people will look a bit cross and shake their fingers at naughty Saudi Arabia, and the oil and weapons deals will continue. The Saudis will maybe stop murdering and dismembering their citizens in their embassies (or do it a bit more discreetly) and everything will be back the way it always was.

If you're going to shorten it, just say REPUBLIC. It makes you sound smarter.

Common sensical thinking like this doesn't apply to the "elite." They can get away with anything.

He will maintain plausible deniability and say it was some rogue team of killers.

Yup. Pat Roberts already came out saying that one murder should not be enough to derail such large transactions.

They have plenty of kill sites. This was just a crime of opportunity.
