So what are the Saudis giving Trump in exchange for this deal? Did they buy a bunch of penthouses in various Trump properties, or did they finally drop the pretense and give him straight cash?
So, HOW LONG before THIS corrupt Republican “administration” declares war on some other country as a cover-up of their corruption? You know, like the shrub and Darth Cheney did?? Look out Venezuela, Comrade-cadet Bonespurs-trumpski and “Bomb-Em-All” Bolton are looking at you…

“If you look at great human civilizations, from the Roman Empire to the Soviet Union, you will see that most do not fail simply due to external threats but because of internal weakness, corruption, or a failure to manifest the values and ideals they espouse.”Cory Booker.
“Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.”Thomas Jefferson.
“Unfortunately, corruption is widespread in government agencies and public enterprises. Our political system promotes nepotism and wasting money. This has undermined our legal system and confidence in the functioning of the state. One of the consequences is that many citizens don’t pay their taxes.”George Papandreou
Republicans, traitors since 1968. Nixon with Vietnam. Reagan and H.W. Bush with Iran-contra. Trump and company with Russia and Saudi Arabia. Bush the lesser and company, war criminals.
Spiro was a real work of corruption. I remember he dissed college students to the point of implying violence against them would be fine (people on both sides).
Maddow reveals former GOP VP’s secret financial deal with Saudis to ‘wage a scorched earth political war on Jews’
Did anyone else catch Trump trying to pronounce Venezuela the other day? It was like ZVen-a-way-la! Here’s a hint, before you attack another country, learn how to pronounce it. Of course, he probably can’t spell it either. Jeez.
Where is Tricky Dick when you really need him. Our current Bozo and his money-grubbing traitorous minions, make Dick look like Teddy Roosevelt, probably the last decent Republican Prez.
It is important to note that this discussion on “selling” the Saudis nuclear technology started with Trump’s first National Security Adviser, Mike Flynn and, evidently, is still being carried on to this day by elements of the Trump Administration (those “elements” mainly consist of the human detritus left behind when Flynn resigned – and, yes, Virginia, Flynn resigned; he wasn’t fired – Donnie John seems incapable of ‘firing’ anybody – that’s MUCH too confrontational for a coward like Trump!) .
Two points on this technology transfer. the first is, Why in the heck would Saudi Arabia need a nuclear power plant when they sit atop one of the world’s largest sources of petroleum. A self-evident answer is that the technology to build a nuclear power plant is easily transferable to the technology needed to manufacture a nuclear weapon.
That explanation leads to my second point. Because the technologies are so easily transferable, Congress has passed as law saying you must get Congressional approval to give that technology or any information applicable to it to a foreign power. I do not believe there has been any attempt to acquire such approval, to this point. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.
The Trump Administration hasn’t yet, technically, broken American law because they haven’t actually started transferring that technological information, but they are so close to committing yet another felony that it really isn’t funny.
Republicans used to preach patriotism and being true to American ideals. I could always give them that. Unfortunately, that party now is filled with minions of Satan, against whom they also used to preach. I guess they were lying . Sad.
PBS has recently aired a series about history’s most notorious dictators. Seeing the episode on Benito Mussolini, I was struck by the consistent similarities between Donald Trump and the world’s first fascist who, just like Trump, enjoyed consorting with like-minded dictators, and who served as role model to one of the worst fascists, Adolf Hitler.
Trump is much more Benito than Adolph, and it might pay to remember that Benito’s first military “victory” was over Ethiopians with spears against his aircraft and machine guns. Well, so far Bonespurs hasn’t shown even that much courage, so. . .
