    Saudi authorities had executed at least 241 people in 2025 as of August 5, with 22 executions in the previous week alone, according to the international human rights organization Reprieve. Reprieve reported that the number of executions in 2025 would exceed all prior records if executions continue at the same rate.

      But the progressive city of Jeddah! It’s progressive! Can’t you see how progressive Saudi Arabia is, they even let women and children be seen now!

      Don’t worry about a few headless people, just think about how progressive the city of Jeddah is!

      Yeah we still have horrible culture around gay rights and human rights, but THE PROGRESSIVE CITY OF JEDDAH!

      Still love how he stood there and tried to explain himself to that Saudi guy that he doesn’t really hate Saudi Arabia and its people and thats not what he meant in the interview he did when he legit did like eleven other interviews over the years since where he basically said “Yes 100% fuck them I mean this shit” rofl

    I’m sure a perk of having Saudi Amania is all those dirty indies won’t be distracting from the super premium sports entertainment brand that is WWE sponsored by Dude Wipe Ultra.
