The #KhashoggiMurder was immoral. But it was also disrepectful to Trump & those of us who have supported the strategic alliance with the Saudi’s. Not only did they kill this man,they have left @potus & their congressional allies a terrible predicament & given Iran a free gift.

And then I had to explain to my daughter (who mostly intentionally tunes out the news, because it is more than she can handle) why I was laughing.

(I was surprised that she was able to tune the murder of Khashogggi out - but she had. It is a sad state when we are so overwhelmed by all of the awful things happening that we have to tune out at some point, for self preservation, to avoid hearing even more unbelivably bad things.)

I tuned out from February 2017 to January 2018. It was just too much for me to handle with Trump being selected as president. My health was on the decline and I had to tune out current events for awhile.

Trump doesn't care that an innocent human being was butchered, but a real or implied slight to himself is another matter.
