If It Doesn't Sound True...

Yesterday Trump reported on a phone call that he had with the Saudi king. Now, forgetting for a minute that this was certainly in translation and may or may not have been the king since he is in his 80's and supposed to be suffering from dementia, Trump flat out stated that the king denied any involvement in the disappearance and possible murder of Jamal Khasshoggi, even suggesting that rogue elements had been responsible.

When the dog eats your homework no one believes you. These "rogue" elements arrived en masse at Istanbul's airport, drove in embassy cars to the embassy, left Turkey as a group, were connected to the Saudi royal family as security people, and happened to bring a bone saw with them to Turkey. Then, just before Turkish and Saudi investigators entered the embassy yesterday, a large cleaning crew, dressed in hazmat suits left the embassy.

Strong men, whoever they are, make denials to Trump and he sycophantishly nods his head in understanding. Dog meet homework.
