This marks the president's departure from his campaign promise of isolating Riyadh over the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi

Joe Biden will reportedly visit Riyadh later this month and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, abandoning a campaign pledge to make Saudi Arabia "a pariah" for the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

The Riyadh trip, first reported by the Washington Post and New York Times, suggests Biden has prioritized his need to bring oil prices down and thereby punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, over his stand on human rights. The visit will be added on to an already planned trip to Israel, Germany and Spain...

Like the Saudi goat rapists, or anyone else for that matter, respects that weak, frail, demented, stupid, pathetic old bat.

But, but, but, we were told more oil will not lower prices. Oh, I mean more North American oil will not lower prices.

I think Biden asked the Saudis to increase their output months ago and they told him to...eat our dust.

That’ll do it.
The Saudis will buckle under the pressure of meeting face-to-face with a shuffling, low IQ dementia patient.

Really. I’d be interested to know what he is willing to concede in order for the Saudis to so much as answer the door. They don’t take kindly to his insults and sucking up to the Iranians.

This could turn out to be a classic misadventure. We shall see.

Joe, make sure you take Brian Deese with you. Have the Saudis keep him there. Deese made this entire economic collapse. I’m sure the kingdom security guards can take care of him for you if you just pick up the phone.......well son of a bitch!

The Saudis are just going to humiliate him. It’s going to be embarrassing.

I doubt they’ll even see him...he’ll sit on the tarmac for the length of time it takes to refuel and he’ll, unfortunately for us, be on his way back to the US

With oil around $120 er bbl, and a hostile American regime, the Saudis have no incentive to do anything but stand pat.
