Fred Ryan, the publisher and CEO of The Washington Post, said Tuesday that President Donald Trump had betrayed “long-established American values of respect for human rights and the expectation of trust and honesty in our strategic relationships” by siding with Saudi Arabia’s leadership despite reports that the CIA has concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman ordered the killing of former Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. “If there is reason to doubt the findings of the CIA,” Ryan wrote, “President Trump should immediately make that evidence public.”

One more atrocity in the administration. One more moment in which the president shows how small and lacking of common human thought he is capable of. His people can cheer his “winning”, but I do not see it. It is an endless chain of moments with never a redeeming one to offset the others. To truly support him means you have to be like him in some form, enough to not be repulsed by his behavior. And if you are repulsed, then you are triangulating with a devil that will burn you as you stand there and never blink.
Betrayal?
Nah, just plain old GOP values, exemplified by the Traitor-in-Chief.
Money trumps morality.
Same as it ever was.
I don’t want to be anywhere near moron’s twitter feed when the “fake news” bullshit breaks out. Oh, and the swipes at Bezos. And Amazon.
