Will Bunch is thinking of heading to Lowe's for a pitchfork after seeing who was at Trump dinner for Saudi crown prince

[highplainsdem]

Here's the full list of all the CEOs and Bill Ackman-types who were delighted to dine with two murderers, MBS (Khashoggi, etc.) and Trump (boats, USAID, etc.)

While you read this, I'm heading to Lowe's to see if they have any pitchforks left www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

— Will Bunch (@willbunch.bsky.social) 2025-11-19T12:42:11.061Z

Who was there, in the order the Times listed them:

Cristiano Ronaldo, the soccer star who's the highest-paid player in the Saudi Pro League

Gianni Infantino, head of FIFA

Elon Musk

Tim Cook

Michael Dell

Jensen Huang of Nvidia

Linda Su of AMD

David Ellison of Paramount

Mike Wirth of Chevron

Jane Fraser of Citi

Stephen A. Schwarzman of Blackstone

Brendan Bechtel

Mary Barra of GM

William Clay Ford Jr.

Donald Trump Jr., who claimed after Khashoggi was tortured and murdered that he'd been a terrorist sympathizer

Dina Powell McCormick, head of head of global client services at BDT & MSD Partners, a merchant bank and investment firm, and GOP Senator Dave McCormick


Of course no one is really going after pitchforks.

But the willingness of these guests to accept invitations to that dinner and do business with people they know are guilty of murder shows their lack of ethics.

1. I would argue that Trump is just as guilty of murder as MBS.

Trump has ordered the murder of Venezuelans by blasting them to smithereens, just as MBS ordered Khashoggi’s murder. The only difference between them is that MBS murdered one of his own citizens while Trump is murdering citizens of another country. Trump just hasn’t yet figured out how to murder US citizens and get away with it.

[highplainsdem]

3. Will Bunch makes it clear they're both murderers, and I agree.

[70sEraVet]

13. OR..... trump HAS murdered US citizens and HAS gotten away with it!

That woman who claimed trump brutally raped her when she was 13, SHE certainly believed that he was capable of committing murder. So do I.

[markodochartaigh]

24. "Trump just hasn't yet figured out how to murder US citizens and get away with it."

Well, Trump ramped up federal executions, breaking a moratorium on federal executions, during the run up to the 2020 elections in order to gin up support among his base. In my opinion this is the presidential equivalent of shooting someone on 5th Avenue.

[Deep State Witch]

30. Well, There Was The Pandemic

While he didn't outright murder people, he did cause a lot of deaths from downplaying COVID, promoting snake oil cures like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and telling people that they didn't have to mask.

[OMGWTF]

32. Over 500,000 Americans died because of T💩p's Covid BS

[FakeNoose]

45. He "murdered" them by convincing them not to get vaccinated

WTF!!! They proved their stupid loyalty to Chump right to their own deaths.

Meanwhile all the intelligent Americans (including most of the D voters) got vaccinated as soon as the vaccine became available.

[not fooled]

46. And he got vaccinated

I'm sorry all of those people died unnecessarily but really, when the same guy who got vaccinated himself ASAP turns around and tells them to skip vaccines, and they do as he says but not how he does, how dumb are these people?

[FakeNoose]

48. Chump plus every Repuke in the Senate and the House

They all got their shots FIRST before anyone else.

I remember someone complaining that AOC got vaccinated in early 2021... well they ALL did, it wasn't just her.
They didn't have to wait in line either.

[yellow dahlia]

51. I believe the removal of CDC personnel in China, early on in the grifter's first "term",

directly related to the fact that the Coronavirus was not contained early on. My opinion (not so humble).

[vapor2]

27. ANOTHER difference is that trump is gaining

something from MBS for personal enrichment

[Delmette2.0]

29. Thousands of America's died and suffered

from his handling of COVID 19. He had to make money for himself with the stockpiled hospital supplies and equipment. And he probably had investments with the fake cures.

[maxrandb]

2. Was that a dinner guest list, or the Epstein files?

[OldBaldy1701E]

4. "But the willingness of these guests to accept invitations to that dinner...shows their lack of ethics."

You say this like they had not already shown us this fact.

They have... many times over.

[2naSalit]

23. I wonder how many of them...

Are former clients and friends of epstein.

[OldBaldy1701E]

43. That was my thought as well!

Great minds and all that.

[2naSalit]

49. Right?

[Ping Tung]

5. It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners. Albert Camus

[pimpbot]

6. pigs at the trough

All they care about is money. Money money money money. They also know the way to get more money right now is to bribe and grift the crime syndicate we have running this country.

So just remember this, the next time one of these assholes or their companies talks about DEI, environmental justice, or some other feel good topic. They really don't care and its just lip service.

[spanone]

7. Trmp has been murdering people in boats....

So I'm sure the Crown Prince felt right at home.

[KS Toronado]

8. Was this at the White House?

Appears to have his gaudy decorating style.

[surfered]

9. Does Lowe's sell any of these?

[Blue Full Moon]

15. But they sell wood chippers.

[meow2u3]

33. Question is, do they sell freeze spray in large quantities?

[NBachers]

10. Charter members of the private White House Ballroom Executive Perks Club- Private rooms available with masseuse services

[rubbersole]

18. masseuse services/DC Girl Scouts Troop headquarters

[Dear_Prudence]

11. A Satanic-version

Of the Last Supper.

[Joinfortmill]

12. "You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question?" WTF?

[Blue Full Moon]

14. FIFA owned by EA, Electronic Art.

[JT45242]

16. Does anyone know where the entire list is not behind a paywall? That list is fewer names than people we can see

I'm curious how many other lesser known vulture capitalists, etc. were there and who they are.

Not sure if the vulture capitalist company that bought out the company that I work for is big enough potatoes to pay to play for an event like this.

[Farmer-Rick]

20. At the link at the end of the article

They say they have the full White House list of guests.

[JT45242]

40. I hit a pay wall.with the link

Looking for the list without giving NYT money

[bronxiteforever]

17. Pa Senator Dave McComick is a rotten person. Literally stands

for nothing but himself. The perfect Republican.

[Farmer-Rick]

19. Well more crap I will never buy or watch again knowingly

Ford and GM were sucking up, the head of international soccer’s governing body is kissing the ring, monopoly CEO of Paramount and CBS is pressing the hands of murderers, the head of Apple of course is acting like a giddy school boy. Not to mention Chevron in all its monopolistic corruption.

All thing I will do my best to avoid in the future.

[evolves]

21. The problem is that

it is almost impossible to live and function in today’s society without supporting these murderers. You can’t own a cell phone without patronizing one of them. It is difficult to own a car or to fuel it without patronizing one of them. It is almost impossible to own a computer, through which we all interface with the world, without patronizing them.

I would happily boycott, but it is almost impossible to boycott all of these quislings and be able to live in the world today.

[Wednesdays]

36. True that, but we can always cut back.

Bike a little more, and drive a little less. Preserve your phones a little more, and extend their lives so you don't have to buy them as often. Stay off of Facebook and X. Shop locally and avoid the mega-corporations, especially Amazon.

Even a few dollars add up to big sums if we all work together at it.

[evolves]

39. I do almost all of that.

I know that every little bit helps, but I feel complicit if I give any of them just a little patronage. It's a moral dilemma for me. I'm so hard-core that I've boycotted Exxon since the Valdez!

[BradBo]

22. Money over murder, all of them.

[Hotler]

25. Fascist traitors. nt

[John1956PA]

26. In the photo, the East Room looks to be of sufficient size for formal dinners. There is no need for a ballroom.

[vapor2]

28. Anyone notice in every photo

how MBS was constantly fidgeting with his hands.? Was so noticeable

[walkingman]

31. The contrast of how he treats someone like Zelensky compared to MBS is disgusting.

[3825-87867]

35. Remember the "Patriots" who

wanted Jane Fonda's head in the 70s?
They might be the parents of magats today!
Or republicans

[walkingman]

41. You are 100% correct. I do think a lot of it is generational but not always

It depends on if someone's life experiences. I think one of the best lessons to learn in life is that "everyone is just another version of you".

[3825-87867]

34. Lots of calls for boycotts...except...

know what you never see as a possible boycott?
IPhoneys and Apple products.

I know a number of Apple owners who have literally shit their pants over Walmart and other corporations caving to trump. But they never once wanted mentioned to boycott their Iphoneys even though Apple screws it's customers with a new phone you MUST get every couple years for insane prices (though not at the maximum fee! Hah!)
Selective boycotting for thee but not for...Tim's products?
Evidently the word hytpocrite is not just for magats.

[Ocelot II]

37. How many of those d-bags are in the Epstein files, I wonder?

[Botany]

38. Mike Wirth of Chevron

&t=95s

[Mblaze]

42. A Congress of Oligarchs

[FakeNoose]

44. The reference to pitchforks and torches ...

You have to see an old movie like the original "Frankenstein" or "Dracula" from the 1930s to understand ....

This happens when the villagers get riled up and take to the streets:

[Cha]

47. Shows their Greed for Money & Power Above

any GD Decency to Reject the Cruel and Inhumane Saudis and Traitor to the USA :

TY & Will Buch.

[kimbutgar]

50. Companies I will go out of my way to boycott

Add to Target and Home depot as last resort if I need to buy something.

[róisín_dubh]

52. ...

Fuck Ronaldo and Infantino. Were it not for Scotland (and hopefully Ireland) making the World Cup, I wouldn’t watch a second next year. I’ll just schedule shifts at the pub when Scotland is playing.
I’m getting rid of my iPhone as soon as the contract expires. Cameras on them are shit compared to the Pixel and Galaxy anyway.
My MacBooks will just have to outlast Tim Cook. Because fuck him too
