So why is everyone so butthurt that President Biden fist bumped MBS? What was he supposed to do? Slap him? Punch him? For 4 years dumpty sucked up to the Saudis, was the first overseas trip he took as president. Now he’s hosting a golf tournament 50 miles from Ground Zero, getting more Saudi $$, claiming they never got to the bottom of 9/11. He lied saying he lost hundreds of friends on 9/11. He lost none. Jared just received billions from the Saudis and had just returned from Saudi Arabia on Jan 6. And President Biden is the villain for fist bumping MBS. Flaming hypocrites.
The joys of a self-policed opposing 2-party mutually-exclusive divisive winner-take-all political system with a permanent politically appointed high court and a broken impeachment process that excludes public opinion. Small wonder such macabre relationships exist.
A lot of respect for Tiger Woods who refused to sell his soul to this bunch, lots of 9/11 families are outraged but Trump countered that we evidently don’t know all about that either, yeah, right.
Wikipedia: LIV Golf has been criticized by human rights groups as an example of sportswashing by Saudi Arabia. The tournament has claimed that its major objective is to improve professional golf. However, critics have said LIV Golf is part of Saudi Arabia’s political strategy of cleansing their global image.
No problem! We still don’t know who flew into the towers! No problem! That made my building the tallest in New York! No problem! All LIV players are still eligible for the major tournaments!
Imagine the joy if everyone boycotted the event thus causing investors associated with the event to lose money just like Donald Insurrectionist lost the election.
I’m all in on the protests against professional golfers “selling their souls” to the Saudis, many of them were well past the nadir of their careers having already earned millions on and off the course. When they say it’s about being able to spend more TIME with their family, we all know it’s for the MONEY.
But…let’s be honest…as a nation we do NOT live in a clean, unbroken glass house.
As a nation we wage war, we consume petroleum, we sell products and trade, have traded with these type of people. We should ALL commit to being better people, as individuals and as a nation.
Photos Reveal Ivana Trump’s Final Resting Place At Bedminster Golf Course
Her grave is not too far from the main clubhouse, in a place golfers would not typically see, the newspaper reported. It’s situated at the back side of the first tee, according to the Post.
The U.S. has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia for some very good reasons. Do the Saudis have blood on their hands? Absolutely. Does that mean we should alienate them? Would that serve any useful purpose?
An Arab expression sums it up: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Our common enemies include notably Iran and Russia.
International politics can be messy and complicated, but that’s what our leaders have to deal with. There will be many situations that are “d**ned if you do and d**ned if you don’t.”
As just one example, America supported Stalin, a mass murderer, in WWII. FDR was not happy about doing that but it was necessary to defeat Hitler and Nazi Germany because they were the greater of the two evils.
Are the actions of Saudi Arabia’s leaders worse than Japan’s and Germany’s in WWII? Of course not yet those two countries are among our staunchest allies today.
Everyone sitting in the stands at any athletic event knows better than the coaches on the field how to win the game but the coaches are the ones tasked with calling the plays who will suffer the inevitable criticism when they don’t win every game.

As pictures were shared from Thursday’s LIV Golf pro-am at Trump’s Bedminster golf course, the presidential seal was visibly plastered all over towels, golf carts, markers, and other items at the event.
That presents a problem, considering Trump is no longer president. Federal law prevents anyone who is not the president from using the seal in a way that might insinuate the government is sponsoring a private-sector business.
