In June 2019, when President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with bin Salman to discuss military matters, they did not bring up the subject of Khashoggi's assassination.[116] A week later, at the G-20 summit, during a group photo of international leaders, Trump shook bin Salman's hand.[117]

Like 6 months ago, my former lawmaker steve king defended not having abortion exemptions for victims of rape and incest by saying there wouldnt be “any population of the world left” if not for rape and incest.

He acted like a insane libertarian Ron Paul supporter and did such a good job that not a single person doubted him. He later quit saying that he had got so into it that the fake personality he had created was starting to intrude into his real life

In the defense of people who were tricked, including myself, he did a genuinely incredible job on the impersonation. There were a bunch of google Ron Paul types on the forums at the time, and the hardcore Paulites were basically all conspiracy theorists, so he was very believable.

I can't remember, but didn't Trump pass a law in the early days of his presidency that was something like "You must repeal 2 regulations for every new one you pass?" Was that a real thing? Is it still on the books? Did everyone just ignore it and hope Trump would forget about it?
