Knowing something is different from proving it

Posturing pols are signaling shock and outrage at the death of Kamal Kashoggi at the hands of an apparently sanctioned gang of Saudi government hitmen. 

First, anyone who is “shocked” at nearly anything any of the Middle Eastern satraps do is a liar or an idiot.  Anyone who is familiar with the Middle East knows the place is 99.9% sh*thole.  Making the Middle East less of a total sh*thole than Chief Lyin’ Azz Warren is any part American Indian.

The place is a sh*thole.  The people governing the sh*thole are largely corrupt, backward, double dealing D-bags.  Saudi Arabia runs chop-chop square where they publicly cut the hands off thieves and the heads off government dissidents, infidels, those who blaspheme Allah etc.  Why is it a shock to anyone that a government that sanctions such public barbarism that they would kill a journalist who refused to pay ball with them?

Bottom line: No thinking person is shocked that the Saudi government was - at a minimum - complicit in the death of Kamal Kashoggi.  

If they are not shocked by the murder – and no thinking person is – it is hard to believe that are outraged by it. It’s like being outraged at your chronically drunk associate for wrecking his car.  I think outrage comes from some unexpected, unjust and purposeful act.  Kashoggi’s death meets 2 of the 3 criterion.  It was unjust, and it was purposeful, but it was hardly unexpected.  The only aspect of it that was unexpected was the brazenness of the act.

So the “outrage” is more about: “For crying out loud, if you’re going to kill to someone, at least do it in private!”  That’s a pretty odd case for outrage – kill them in private.

It’s all virtue signaling from virtue signaling azzbags. 

Prediction:  Knowing something is different from proving something.

We all knew that PFC Huerta stole a Jeep from the E-Club and drove it back to the barracks one cold night.  He denied it.  No one saw him take the Jeep.  No one saw him driving the Jeep.  No one saw him get out of the Jeep at the barracks.

The colonel of the unit who “owned” the Jeep asked what I was going to do about it.  I told him, “I’m not going to do anything about it.”  He was “outraged”.  I told him Huerta refused office hours, where I could punish him based on very little evidence and instead demanded a courts martial where the government would have to prove Huerta took the vehicle. 

The government couldn’t prove squadoosh.  The colonel remained outraged and I got a call from my own colonel telling me that colonel so and so was mad as hell blah, blah, blah.  I told my colonel the info above and asked him to relay that colonel to colonel.  The issue died away except Huerta became a minor celebrity in the battery for a couple of weeks.

The Saudis are going to deny any prior knowledge to Kashoggi’s death.  The Turks et al are going to be able to prove exactly nothing with regard to Saudi royal family complicity in Kashoggi’s death. 

There will be much hand wringing among the virtue signaling azzbag class. 

The Middle East will remain a sh*thole largely trapped in the 12^th century for the next 10,000 years.

Nothing that happens there should “shock” or “outrage” anyone.         

PDJT calls horse faced woman a horse faced woman
PDJT took a victory lap at the recent dismissal of the Stormy Daniels case by calling the porn star “horse face”.

OK that’s a bit unseemly for the President of the United States, but it’s not out of character. I would have let it go.  But, as PDJT told Leslie Stahl, “you’re not president.”

So how can you put up with such unseemly behavior from the POTUS?  One word, results.
