Lord Dampnut's supporters mount a campaign to throw shade on the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, but they're not really worth the attention, so here's the journalist's last article instead:

Well what a relief! Khashoggi was the instrument of his own demise. Seems that the 59 year old journalist tried to assault the 15 Saudi security agents he lured to the Saudi consulate. When chopping off his fingers proved insufficient for reducing the threat to life, which he presented to the agents, they had no choice but to strangle him, dismember his body and dispose of it in the woods.
Trump has declared that this account is totally credible and Pat Robertson has given it God's stamp of approval too.

At which point he presumably resurrected, reassembled himself, walked back to the consulate, and left it alive never to be seen again?
Cause that was the Saudi version of events before and they're apparently more trustworthy than the US intelligence apparatus.

And more credible than women giving evidence of sexual assault...

Meanwhile, Trump wants to (
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/19/john-bolton-russia-nuclear-arms-deal-trump-lobbying) withdraw from the Nuclear Arms Treaty with Russia.
Quote:
John Bolton is pushing for the US to withdraw from a cold war-era arms control treaty with Russia, in the face of resistance from others in the Trump administration and US allies, according to sources briefed on the initiative.
Bolton, Donald Trump's third national security adviser, has issued a recommendation for withdrawal from the 1987 intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty (INF), which the US says Russia has been violating with the development of a new cruise missile.
Withdrawal from the treaty, which would mark a sharp break in US arms control policy, has yet to be agreed upon by cabinet and faces opposition from within the state department and the Pentagon. A meeting on Monday at the White House to discuss the withdrawal proposal was postponed.
Bolton wants this because it suits his political narrative and Trump wants it because it fits his strategy of covering one pile of shit with a bigger pile of shit. Trump would burn the world to save his toddler ego.

Remember the Albanian Pyramid Scheme in the 1990's? The web of con-jobs endorsed by heads of government which destroyed that nation?
Here's a refresher...

What's this have to do with Trump, besides Trump bringing in legislation allowing money managers to NOT keep their client's interests at heart? Just watch the video.

That's why Trump keeps trying to gut the CFPB and hire only those who hate consumer protections to head it. I would love to see Liz tear him a new one about it. Here she is ripping Mulvaney, the evil asshole, a new asshole. She would make that stuttering retard in the whitehouse shit himself.

To no real surprise to anyone, Lord Dampnut still lies a lot:

Over the summer, Donald Trump told a group of supporters that he’d spoken with the head of U.S. Steel, who told him that, as a result of the president’s policies, the company was opening six new plants. It wasn’t long before we learned that Trump had made up the conversation, and U.S. Steel wasn’t opening any new plants.
But the president was undeterred by reality. As the Toronto Star’s Daniel Dale has documented in detail, Trump not only kept repeating the lie, he also inflated the number of new plants that don’t exist. What started as six imaginary plants soon became seven, then eight, and more recently “at least eight.”
Remember, the actual number is zero. The president nevertheless repeats the lie at nearly every campaign rally, constantly upping the ante, assuming Republican voters won’t know or care about the difference.
Something eerily similar is unfolding with Trump’s rhetoric about a $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, which, in reality, is not real. And yet, despite the fact that the deal does not really exist, the American president continues to ascribe new job totals to the imagined agreement.
Mar. 20, 2018: “We’re talking about over 40,000 jobs in the United States.”
Oct. 13, 2018: “It’s 450,000 jobs.”
Oct. 17, 2018: “It’s 500,000 jobs.”
Oct. 19, 2018: “I’d prefer that we not cancel $110 billion worth of work, which means 600,000 jobs.”
Oct. 19, 2018 (a few hours later): “600,000 jobs, maybe more than that.”
Oct. 19, 2018 (a few hours later after that): “So now if you’re talking about – that was $110 billion – you know, you’re talking about over a million jobs.”

When Trump lies about Lyin' Ted Cruz, is that a meta lie?

Who knew Ted was "beautiful".

Looks like there's yet another item on the agenda, if the Democrats manage to take the House, cause Republicans are clearly fine with the president using his position to benefit his bottom line:

House Democrats released a trove of new documents this week that they say prove Trump was directly involved in canceling plans developed by the federal government to sell the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Critics argue that Trump intervened because he wanted to prevent commercial developers from building a new property at the downtown Washington, D.C., spot that might compete with the Trump Hotel, which is located across the street.
If Democrats take back the House this fall, they say they will seek to get their hands on more potentially damning documents, haul in FBI and General Services Administration (GSA) officials to testify under oath and possibly pass legislation to block the administration from moving forward with the rebuilding plan.
[...]
The GSA, which oversees government buildings, had long debated whether to demolish the FBI's aging J. Edgar Hoover Building and let a commercial developer come in to build something new, which would allow the FBI to relocate its headquarters to a larger and more secure location in the Washington suburbs.
The FBI decided in February to instead go along with a more expensive proposal to rebuild the D.C. headquarters.
Democrats say the documents they released this week suggest the FBI did so at Trump's behest, though the administration has maintained that it was the FBI's decision, and that it wanted to stay close to the nearby Department of Justice.
[...]
Democrats say their documents show the decision was actually approved during an Oval Office meeting between Trump and GSA officials on Jan. 24.
The documents include a picture of the meeting in question and emails that describe the project as what “the president wants” and “what POTUS directed everyone to do.” GSA officials are also quoted in emails saying that they were operating “per the President's instructions.”
