Remember Khashoggi? Because White House may not

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The midterm elections are finally over, more or less, and we got what we got — Donald Trump is still president.
Sorry, but someone had to say it.

Now back to the cold realities of everyday life in the White House of Weird, beginning and ending with: Who ordered the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and what consequences will there be?

You remember Khashoggi, the self-exiled Saudi reporter/U.S. resident and contributing columnist to The Washington Post who, upon entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul looking to secure a marriage document, vanished. His horrific fate allegedly involved being tortured, murdered, dismembered and removed piecemeal by a squad of hitmen who were waiting for him with a bone saw.

For a few days, at least, Khashoggi was the lead story for many media outlets, but then, trickle by trickle, his name has largely faded from the headlines, with the exception of the Post. Everyone was off to the races or to cover the next Trump campaign rally.

Day after day, Trump did what Trump does: said preposterous things so the media would break out in hives and move away from unpleasantness, such as whether the U.S. would hold the Saudis accountable for Khashoggi’s murder. The House and Senate have discussed curtailing the arms sales about which Trump has boasted, but otherwise, the status quo is relaxed and tanned.

Obviously, such global intrigues involving murder, money, oil, arms and conspiracy are complex, and this one is multipronged enough to ignite wars and destabilize global markets. The Trump administration early on apparently decided to make nice with Saudi Arabia and, as the president keeps saying, the consequences of bad blood between our two countries would be costly, both monetarily and perhaps geopolitically (to Iran’s benefit).
