It’s just not a big deal.
The Saudis are not, nor never have been a liberal democracy.
They execute people for all kinds of crazy, medieval reasons. They cut the hands off of thieves. They are barbaric.
I do like the new Prince. Especially that he wants to roll some of this back and reform. However, it’s all relative. They’ve got A LONG way to go.
I’m not too unhappy over a MB activist either. Play dangerous games, win dangerous prizes.
Now, having said all that, the US urinalists are making a big deal over it to attack Trump, and that pisses me off. Quit yer whining, you FAKERS!!!
Maybe when Jim Acosta is dismembered and buried out back we can commiserate with them, but this is the inhumane Saudis, not Donald Trump who may have done this, for goodness sakes!
Now the Anti-semites are getting on board. Several links pop up about how “Zionist” Trump is doing the bidding of his Jewish/Saudi masters. Too funny.
BTW, A Zionist is someone who believes the land of Israel is the natural home of the Jews.... Count me in. I’m a Zionist, too. Every Christian is—or should be!
He has gotten rid of many of the corrupt old liners in the kingdom and either jailed them or imprisoned them Saudi style in a 5 star resort but taken away all their assets their power and gotten rid of decades of institutionalized corruption by the cabal and 41. He has befriended Trump and as they say the rest is history.
The GCC, Gulf cooperation Council is changing things quickly as well.
It's a whole new day in Saudi Arabia. It's not the old Saudi regime by a long shot.
