We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.

By an extraordinary coincidence, Mariah Carey is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, where her PA alleges she was mistreated by her manager, up to and including racial remarks and getting peed on.

The target of this whole advertising campaign is to punch Trump. Nobody cares truly for justice to be served.

Not the worst tactic.  Looking at Mariah Carey makes me forget a lot of things.

Might actually get fence sitting Saudis to care, too..if the guy would just insult Big Mo somehow I'm sure this could all be resolved shortly.

The generous assumption is that we do...but the horrible realization is that our interests may not align with your own.  As a broad rule, our interests drag stability along as the underlying predicate - and any thoughts of regime change of any kind are weighted against that. We're not averse to regime change (obviously, lol) but we tend to support those regimes which do or can persist and support us. So, there won't really be any US support for an alternative to MBS until we see an achievable alternative to MBS that more closely aligns with our interests in the region than he does. Even that eventuality will have to fight against the tide of historic agreements and partnerships, and the tangled mess of personal alliances that people in these positions create for themselves.

Why choose a crazy, weak psychopath instead?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
