    Who gives a crap about the killing of Jamal Khashoggi ? ...

    Well apparently a lot of people do, especially leftists, but why exactly
    is a mystery to me. Are we supposed to go at loggerheads with a
    Mideast anti-Iranian ally because someone who only a few had ever
    heard of had his head chopped ? So what's all the fuss about and
    are there not a lot more things to concern an administration than a
    year old murder, especially of a foreigner ?

    Khashoggi was a US resident (but not a citizen). The killing took place in Istanbul. Just what jurisdiction we have over this is puzzling.

      I don't know anyone in the mid-east. If fifty million of them got zapped it wouldn't disturb me for more than a minute or so.
      Now, if I had kids and my son(some how) married a beautiful Iranian(whatever) girl and her family got wiped out I'd be distraught a little longer.
      If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

        The media cares because he was one of their own. One may choose to sympathize or not, but that motive is at least comprehensible. In any case the Saudi regime is revealed for the thugs that they are. Something the women who live there have known forever.

          I don't care about the death of this man, not my problem. Some reports say he was a threat to the family.
