I don’t like these bills. One days someone from ISIS will sue us and we’ll be dumb enough to pay.

Not a Trump bump...but interesting nonetheless.

This is a good bill. Suing Saudi Arabia might be the only way for the truth to come out. It might also be a really good way to freeze Saudi assets and money in the US.

This can only mean one thing. A whole lot of US Senators are afraid of losing their next election.

“I think we need to look at it,” Ryan told reporters at the Capitol. “I think we need to review it to make sure we are not making mistakes with our allies and that we’re not catching people in this that shouldn’t be caught up in this.”

Oust Ryan, the Saudis are certainly NOT our G-D D_MNED ALLIES!

They know that voter fraud won’t carry the day this time.Plus incumbents are seen as the enemy these days.

You don’t have to open it up to every foreigner. Just write the law such that only Americans can access US courts. And as for opening America up for its support of terrorists, there are a few people around the world right now with a damn good case.... Syrians killed by our Al Qeida we appropriated money to support. Hundreds of Mexicans murdered in fast and furious. Etc... maybe we shouldn’t support terrorists.

We should have stayed the hell out of the ME and got some of our own damned oil elsewhere.

An ally, who attacked us. What is in the 28 pages?

A piece of legislation they want to read before passing...we should make sure all future bills have something in it related to allowing victims justice against sponsors of terrorism.

Will not be surprised that if Mr. Trump becomes President, this could very well be a reality.

This is supposed to be the trigger for the Saudis to sell their US government debt and the dollar/economy to collapse.

Offering to the senate this suggestion: Read every word on every last page. Be more than certain that this ‘law’ would be used to do the RIGHT thing and not hijacked by our enemies who would salivate in turning our laws back upon WTP, forever enslaving WTP to do their bidding. Pandora’s Box might be the result if written and instated.

“We should have stayed the hell out of the ME and got some of our own damned oil elsewhere.”

Exactly! And we should be fracking, etc., here to fill our own domestic needs and cut the string with SA. Without our petrodollars, the “kingdom” will collapse. Even $40 a barrel oil isn’t enough to keep these Fat EFFer’s above water financially. Ditto for Russia and Iran. I read somewhere recently that all of them have to have $100+ a barrel oil to stave of going under. Trump needs to emulate Reagan here and force all of these countries out of business economically. With a Trump Presidency, we will prevail. It’s the Golden Rule in action.

Which in itself is then the trigger for the U.S. Government (read that: US Senate) to vote to seize all Saudi Assets in the United States to protect them against claims by the families of the 9-11 victims.

This cuts both ways for the Saudi's. If they're dumb enough to sell the debt they're holding, they stand to lose much more in the way of American Assets.

Game, Set, Match: America.

And then there's the embargo's that our Government will put on Saudi oil which will give new life to the light shale oil revolution here in the U.S. Yes, Oil & Gas prices will spike temporarily, but never EVER bet against good old American ingenuity.

Never.

The Saudi's and Russians made that mistake when oil was over $100/bbl. Our guys are competitive again at $40/bbl from what I've read. If anything, now's the time to f*ck Saudi Arabia over.

Should have bombed their oilfields on 9/12!

Couldn’t because Bush II was el presidente.
