    It’s high time that we stop selling weapons to the Saudis. If they’re not using them to kill migrants, they’re using them to kill Yemenis.

    If we suspect the Saudis did this, we should absolutely look into it, and if they did, stop providing them with weapons.

    But while we’re auditing who may have used American weapons to kill migrants, we might want to check on this little organization called Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

      Yeah until we can investigate cops killing innocent American citizens i highly doubt they would care about the ICE raping children and killing their migrant parents

      We already know of atrocities they’ve committed. We should have stopped providing them weapons long ago. Since we failed that, we absolutely should stop right fucking now.

      But yeah, also fuck ICE.

    How on earth did these terrorists get their hands on US weapons? Oh, we sold them to them? Why do we keep electing terrorist arms dealers?

    What are you gonna do if they say yes? Are you gonna punish them the same way they were punished for killing Jamal Khashoggi…so not at all and rewarding them with another multimillion dollar arms deal?

    Fuck the Saudi government. Bunch of scum.

    Well they drove a few planes into some of our buildings….so naturally we’ll just shower their pretty pink heads with little green pieces of paper into perpetuity.

    Of course they fucking did it, they give zero fucks about pretending to be anything other than too rich to care about human life and all too willing to kill over money and sky cake

    This really isn’t much different from what the leading Republican candidates want to do at our southern border.

    So he wants to know this specifically but doesn’t care about all the other atrocities Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen with full support from the US that he already knows 100% about? He’s very good at pretending to care.
