Thank you very much and God bless you.

I admit to feeling a little uncomfortable with the MBS Show as this visit became it's more about cementing his position and they pulled out all the stops...

On the other hand, they seem sincere about opening up their closed society albeit in a very gradual manner.

It's a weird regime isn't it...

Quite true. With personal wealth that permits travel, English proficiency, and modern communications media, the current generation of Saudis is well aware of how odd and often backward their country is. MBS aims to open up Saudi society enough to avert discontent without triggering a potentially lethal questioning of either the monarchy or Islam.

That strategy has limits though, and Saudi Arabia seems unlikely to remain an Islamist monarchy in the long term. Corruption, the folly of their linear city, oil dependency, and the severity of Saudi Islam are all points of vulnerability. Both friends and enemies know that and are watching closely for a stumble that could become a fall.

MBS has really made some positive changes.
This meeting was historic. The Liberals are beside themselves trying to put a negative spin on it.

I get a very strong feeling that Trump wants in. This area is growing by leaps and bounds. We can all look down on them because they do certain things to women but it is growing. The real estate guy sees money to be made.. I believe he’s looking for an edge for Eric Trump to move into the area.

If SA can diversify itself into tech, banking, and other good paying industries it will transform the ME.

Did you notice that Trumps female aide carrying papers to be signed between Trump and the Prince….was not in hijab and did NOT have head cover?

This Saudi cultural concession …by the Prince no less….was actually quite astonishing!

The sight of the Prince …..who by protocol may not be touched….grabbing Trump’s hand in joy…was history in view.

And then there was the Saudi forum crowd…men and women…standing for 2 minutes of “ God Bless the USA”

Play with a turd get shit on your fingers. This can only mean yet even more Saudi influence and penetration of America.

It’s a slap in the face to everyone who leapt from the inferno of the World Trade Center or was beheaded by Isis.

But clap like trained seals.

Was hoping the Prince would do the Trump for fun. They looked like they were having a ball with him.

Blaming Saudi Arabia for 9/11 will probably have to die right alongside the R vs D con job the people were forced to believe by its lying, theiving, scheming, Swamp Govt..

I see Bush and Cheney as enemies of this nation today.

But your mileage can vary

Irony, no, that a nation that beheads homosexuals celebrates as a band noted for its homosexual themes plays?

The amazing thing is that Trump can deal with Kim, the ISIS leader in Syria, Zelinsky, the Saudi leader, Qatar, Houthis and every reprobate on earth.... but the Republican Congress, his own party, is a brick wall that refuses to lift a finger for him.

Thune and Johnson let him stand alone against the judiciary, the election fraud machine, and the world.

It just confirms that Trump infiltrated the Swamp through the Swamp R team.
The hostile takeover wasn’t part of the party’s plan.
