Agree. Why I always make sure to vote.

Anyways, Trump is now apparently conceding that Khashoggi was indeed murdered so I can only imagine that the weight of evidence is so damning there is really no way out of this (and I'm sure they tried VERY hard).

My thinking now is that there is no way the Prince can survive this if the Americans stop defending them. So the solution is clear, the Saudis get rid of the prince, apologize and say it was a rogue decision he made. And Bob's your uncle, some grumbling will be had, people will look a bit cross and shake their fingers at naughty Saudi Arabia, and the oil and weapons deals will continue. The Saudis will maybe stop murdering and dismembering their citizens in their embassies (or do it a bit more discreetly) and everything will be back the way it always was.
