Even the murderer, the guy who ordered the journalist to be executed and dismembered with a bone saw, looks a bit embarassed for our American president.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I can remember when the president of the United States snapping at a reporter, "Quiet, piggy!" might be headline news.
Not to The New York Times, apparently.

This is what America looks like without an Attorney General. This is what America looks like when the Justice Department is the President’s private law firm.

Personally, I think it's terrific that no one around the president is willing to tell him he sounds completely delusional and out of touch here. Just let him keep telling voters they're not paying what they're paying.

Sanders: The wealthiest people on earth are pouring hundreds of billions into research and development for AI and robotics. You think they’re doing that because they’re thinking, “Oh man, this is going to be something that will improve life for working people, for low-income people.”?

James Comey is not going to jail, folks.
On the other hand, yet another lawyer who has hitched her star to Donald Trump, may well be on the way to being disbarred.

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.

I’m familiar, by the way, with the argument that we just aren’t appreciating the NYT’s subtlety here; that it’s actually a searing indictment of this group of elites, just in a “show me, don’t tell me” kind of way. That take relies on ignoring that it’s in the New York Times.
