    Criticizing Trump's reaction isn't the same thing as blaming him for the shooting.

    No thread on the latest terrorist act under Trump’s watch? No anti-Islamic conspiracy minded retweets from POTUS?

    This is certainly an interesting response regarding an anti-American Saudi receiving flight training on the Alabama Florida state line who committed another mass shooting after hosting a party celebrating the killing of Americans.

    Im not sure if there was even a Saudi in the 9/11 attack although I could be mistaken. The narrative of the military attack was probably manipulated and changed based on the delay if information to media outlets. A common occurrence.

    In other words please don't let this occurrence affect my business dealings and take a hit at my bottom line.

    Saudi Arabia has denied official complicity in the attacks. While 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, official U.S. government reviews haven't made public any concrete evidence of Riyadh’s involvement.

    Shows how morally bankrupt trump is... that having the saudi's paying the victims is a desired result.

    Somewhat interesting sidenote on Saudi pilots... A Navy Pilot did an AMA and someone asked something to the effect of who are the worst pilots to instruct. He stated that by far Saudi pilots were the most entitled, arrogant and generally unsafe people he trained. The reason was instead of desire and aptitude the Saudis all came from families with status/ connections and couldn't wrap their heads around being ordered/ instructed to do something.

    Of course not all of them were poor pilots just a significant percentage -- they all could fly in SA, but were grounded in the US. It was kind of like training to drive an F1 car for years -- yeah you can make it around the track, but there's no way you could actually race it without crashing.

    Mark Esper really sending some good messages to his men and women:

    *War crimes are OK if you show up at a Trump rally
    *It's fine to film a mass shooting of US military personnel if your government is willing to cut checks

    Morale must be amazing.

    He seriously said that? What a god damned son of a b****. If trump possessed a conscious and a pair of balls, he’d immediately fire the b*stard. He won’t, because our worthless Secretary of Defense is taking his marching orders from Mr trump himself.
