So It Goes

November 22, 2022

Little over a month ago Joe Biden talked semi-tough about America’s problematic, some would say disastrous, or perhaps sordid relationship with Saudi Arabia. Given Americans’ frighteningly short memories, you could be excused, if not applauded for remembering that 16 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Afghans…I mean Iraqis…I mean Saudis. Yeah, that’s it – Saudis. You might also recall that some number of Saudis were spirited out of this country immediately after their fellow countrymen perpetrated the worst terrorist attack on American soil – even worse than the one carried out by the very white, very American Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma City.

Then of course, the Bush/Cheney administration illegally invaded Saudi Arabia…I mean Afghanistan…I mean Iraq. Naturally, the war criminals Bush and Cheney were tried, convicted and severely punished…I mean got off scot-free.

Biden’s almost strong words aimed at Saudi Arabia came three months after his embarrassing photo-op with the murderous scumbag Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (or MBS as his pals, like Jared Kushner call him). It came even closer on the heels of MBS and company giving Biden - and all Americans - a big, beautiful fuck-you when Biden asked for a little help with gas prices. Who's our daddy?

Ouch!

Subsequent to all this falderal, Joe Biden’s Democratic Party took Ratpublicans behind the proverbial woodshed and beat the Senate out of them, and came shockingly close to beating the House out of them as well.

Hey Joe Biden, your party just “won” the midterm election. What are you gonna do now?

I’m gonna let MBS off the hook for the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and then I’m going to Disney World. 

Freak out…

I mean, Peace Out.
