Did someone in the US lure a journalist they didn't like into an embassy, kill him, have his body chopped up into tiny pieces, and force it down a drain?

News to me if that happened. It's a fucking FACT because this asshole running the show over there bragged about it. He was a US citizen. His name was Jamal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khashoggi

    Depends what era we're looking at because the US government has been responsible for several assassinations and substantial foreign interference. I can assure you the US government has done worse at a much larger scale throughout its history. Americans tend to be less aware of their own history than folks around the world since they don't bear the brunt of the worst of their governments misdeeds.

    By this logic, any foreign comedian that performs in the US should be admonished because of every wrong the US government has ever committed. I'm sorry but the reasoning is flawed.

    Its better to just say you're biased (as we all are) and that Saudi Arabia is, in your perception, not on your team so that's why its a problem to you specifically.
