Thursday! Alright.
Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:
- Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi may have been killed and dismembered in a Saudi plot that the crown prince might have been in on. But, according to the New York Times, Jared Kushner is urging President Trump to stand by his buddy Prince Mohammed since this whole thing will blow over soon. From the Times: “Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and Middle East adviser, has been urging the president to stand by Prince Mohammed, according to a person close to the White House and a former official with knowledge of the discussions. […] Mr. Kushner has argued that the crown prince can survive the outrage just as he has weathered past criticism.” Nice to know that Kushner is such a strong advocate for human rights and basic fucking decency! Cannot wait for him to bring peace to the Middle East soon. [New York Times]
