The reason that asshole is in office is that most people who voted for him didn't live in New York State or or New York City for that matter. NYC had known he was an asshole con artist since the 1970s, but because his father left him with deep pockets he could afford just enough lawyers in that time to avoid convictions.
Really not that different than Americans here not knowing what you tell us every day about your fucked up rulers. We don't live there.
Dude seriously, I would LOVE nothing more than for Mueller to slap the handcuffs on that fucker, as much as you want the Saudi Prince/ Saudi family in general to get booted. Unfortunately for both you and I neither of us are Presidents or kings or princes. But your powers and my powers do have control of nukes, and Our allies and Saudi Arabia's allies also have nukes.
I don't want you dead, and I don't think you want me dead, and I wish it were as simple as your powers and my powers listening to us, and not our respective fear mongers.
Reports are the key to get a general idea on the state of a certain thing. i.e if too many reports are saying that "X" is bad; then "X" should be investigated to validate the reports.
I reported against Saudi Arabia's regime; reports from thousands of people -including international media agencies- affirmed my reports also. Turns out people have been reporting this regime since the 80s and the 90s. But for years, despite the voices demanding that the regime in the kingdom get changed or internationally investigated -to affirm the reports-, the majority -if not all- ignored the screams and the calls and the reports.
And the end was very sad: the president of the USA himself displayed reticence on a terrible crime they made inside their embassy in Istanbul.
What I'm getting at Brian, is that our fate as people -Americans; Arabs; Europeans; Mexicans...etc- might not be so different in this era: now I worry about the American torturer & the Saudi torturer. Under Trump; they came to work together.
Without Trump, MBS won't last a single day in power. Exposing Trump is exposing MBS and the Sauds.
Curing the White House is curing me for now.
I feel you man! I DO!
I would love nothing more than for Trump to be a bad dream as much as you'd love your rulers to be a bad dream. All we can do respectively on our ends is speak out.
I would love nothing more than for one day I torture you face to face with an ABBA video and challenge you to eat a bacon cheese burger, and you challenge me to sit outside in 120 degrees for 10 minutes. Between the two of us, I can guess whom you think is the bigger wimp. Hint "ME'. And I doubt you'd find anyone else on this website that would disagree with my logic in this post.
Point is, unfortunately you are stuck where you are at, and I am stuck where I am at, and neither of us have the same power as those whom rule over us. But we do have this communication, and that is our link, and that should allow both of us to find comfort in that we are not alone, and not as different as many would want us to believe.
