The New York Times reports (and Yahoo! News repeats without any paywall) that the government of Saudi Arabia is threatening to sell $750 billion in treasury securities and other unidentified assets if Congress passes the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The bill would allow foreign governments to be sued by 9/11 victims and their families. The threat was issued by Saudi Arabian foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir to unnamed US lawmakers while he was visiting Washington sometime last month, on the grounds that these assets could be in danger of being frozen by US courts.

Trump would say to damn the torpedos, and not give a damn.
Cruz would do much the same, citing that Christians don't need to kneel down to "others".
Sanders would probably try to find some compromise that would be good natured but a little too weak.
Clinton would go to Goldman Sachs and ask them what she should do.
Don't blame me, I voted for moose wang!
