It appears Trump has freed another American

Huh? That's the best you can do?

Look, it's not complicated. Trump turned the economic screws, Erdogan cried uncle.

This takes a dumb irritant in our relationship off the table, at a time when Turkey is conferring with us over WaPo journalist Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance at the Saudi consulate in Ankara. Originally Posted by lustylad

You think Trump cares about this WaPo journalist? Trump has already signaled he don't give a f*** about him .... he's going through with military sales to Saudi Arabia. Or he wants to.

Congress is putting pressure on Trump ... so yes it is very complicated except for Somple Jacks who think the Rooster is the simple cause of the morning sun.

I think President Trump should go through with the Military sales.

I do not know what this WoPo reporter was up to. He obviously pissed someone off who has a lot of power.

When you decide to go into a foreign country, you know the risks. You know the rules, or at least you should know. Many of the freedoms we enjoy in the USA do not exist in many parts of the world.

You can't expect billions of dollars worth of commerce to be canceled because someone gets in a jam in a Country where our laws do not count.

This is not being cold hearted. It's common sense.

President Trump is right. The Saudi's have money to spend. If we don't want it, the Russians and Chinese will gladly take it.

There are other ways to punish the Saudis.

Blah blah blah, Trump cares about America. Thank God he came when he did.

Personally, I think this whole thing has a lot of moving parts , lustylad thinks it was simple catch and release.

Try and stay on topic

First of all, it would be prudent to find out exactly what happened to the reporter before deciding a course of action.

What if Turkey engineered the entire thing? ,

I was the one that said history would be the judge. Debate with lustylad, he is the one that thinks this is simple.

we do know that 19 of the 21 9-11 terrorists were Saudi....that I do know.

Are they now killing reporters that are harsh on their government actions like Russia does?....it sure seems so. But yes let's investigate.

So you consider it rude to point out someone else's rudeness?

Fine... then stop doing it all the time!

And try to stay on topic - do you commend Trump for freeing Pastor Brunson? Yes or no. Originally Posted by lustylad

Trump didn’t free anybody.

How rude!

Trump is the best President in the history of the USA and he YOUR president and that makes it better

You’re certainly entitled to your opinion. But I disagree.

I’m curious why you would say that Trump being MY president makes it better. Please explain.

I am curious why you can't figure something out without a link?

Well, we know YOU don't give a fuck about ANY of your fellow Americans who find themselves unjustly imprisoned overseas... let 'em rot in jail, right WTF?

As for Trump, he does care about winning and being seen as winning. He also cares about cheering up evangelical Christians right before the midterms. And yes, he put the screws on Turkey in part because Erdogan crossed him. He had a deal to release the pastor 2 months ago, but Erdogan reneged. Betcha that fucker won't cross Trump again!

Trump didn’t free anybody.

If odumbo was in office, the pastor would still be rotting in jail and the MSM would be covering up the story.
