Outside the Beltway

Trump’s ongoing revelation of his character.

They were looking for a show to steal. They were fine with contracts that bind. And they were willing to make a deal

A snapshot from Saudi Arabia.

Hasan Minhaj is a serial liar. Does it matter?

An unsavory practice that’s mostly legal.

An embarrassing photo demonstrates the perils of leading the free world.

Another potential deal that doesn’t address the central issue.

The real crime is what’s legal.

Those expecting Bernie Sanders’ agenda are sorely disappointed.

The fecklessness of U.S. human rights policy in full display.

Five men have been sentenced to die by a Saudi Arabian court for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, but the parties who are really responsible are getting off scot-free.

The fifth Democratic debate brought some candidate clashes, but hardly the no-holds-barred type of event you might expect for this late in the pre-primary process.

The same Republicans who were outraged over Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server are silent about the use of private apps by Trump officials.

It’s been one year since Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, never to be seen in public again. We are no closer to justice in his case than we were a year ago.

Not surprisingly, there are other phone call transcripts and other communications that further complicate Trump’s position.

The House of Representatives passed a defense spending bill that seeks to limit Presidential authority when it comes to striking Iran and aideing the Saudi war on Yemen.

Eight months later, the President and his Administration continue to refuse to acknowledge the truth about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

President Trump’s foreign policy has largely been a failure, and there are specific reasons why.

President Trump’s obsequious effort to please Russian President Vladimir Putin continues.

Former Vice-President Joe Biden is calling for an end to American support for the Saudi war on Yemen.

The United States agreed to pay North Korea $2 million for “medical treatment” for Otto Warmbier. Did the Trump Administration actually pay the bill? They aren’t saying.

The Wall Street Journal tries, and fails, to defend President Trump’s indefensible veto of the Congressional resolution regarding the war on Yemen.

President Trump has not surprisingly vetoed a Congressional resolution to limit American support for the Saudi war on Yemen. His defense for doing so is utterly absurd.

The Saudis tortured an American citizen, but the Trump Administration doesn’t care.
