    Don the Con is running scared of what the Saudis are going to do in retaliation. Sorry, Don, but this story isn’t going away and you’re a chump for not knowing who the players are on the world stage.

  2. Maybe some bad hombres snuck in over turkey’s border with mexico.

  3. We won’t insult each others’ intelligences with explaining how ridiculous that is. The president is a corrupt imbecile, but we knew that. Anyone need coffee?

  4. Well Congress, the ball is in your court.

  5. Congress already invoked the Global Magnitsky Act, which requires the white house to investigate and respond within 120 days on whether sanctions should be applied. Yeah, I don’t have high expectations.
