ex-British spy

So, hes still a spy, but no longer British?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Hey kids, let’s review those report allegations! Sure the pee tape is real, but what about the many, many examples of Russian government influence and hacking to support Trump not to mention monetary and advisory support.

He’s a traitor, a fraud, and a rapist. Of course the Republicans want to elect him. Jeniuses all.

[-] demosthememes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

He should have been stopped by the Meuller Report. So many things, like an insurrection for example, should have made him ineligible for office. It is getting harder to put this all on Trump - people are enabling this. That he still has supporters is beginning to say more about them than it does Trump - we already know who he is.

My conspiracy suspicion is that the Mueller stuff was just to stop protests like the Women's March from happening. Huge grassroots protests went away as soon as Mueller was appointed because the liberals who make up those kind of protests had faith in the system.

Took me so long to figure out what the word around the "removed" was. For others (using a symbol so it isn't removed again), I think it is "susp|cion"

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 0 points 7 months ago

Are words triggering comment removals? Can't imagine why suspicion would be one of them.

[-] Hereforpron2@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 7 months ago

Specific strings of letters are filtered in some instances. So it isn't that word, it's the 4 letters that are being filtered out in the middle of the word. But apparently it's only on some instances.

LemmyWorld filters fagg-ot (e.g. removed) even though it's a fucking British food and it pisses me right off.

[-] TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Because he did not bring case in time. I was hoping for a more fun reason.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Maybe I'm too conspiracy-brained (not even sure if that's the right term here) but bringing a nothing-burger to court and failing on technicalities so it'll get dismissed and you can claim "deep-state" seems like a pretty Trumpian thing to do.

Never underestimate exactly how stupid Trump is.

He wanted to be a Manhattan big shot. Through his own arrogance, stupidity, and greed he managed to make the New York elites hate him.

Wow, he really has had that stupid look on his face his whole life, huh?

We better hope he's a loser when it counts.

All he does is lose.

It's worth noting that the most salacious allegation from the Steele Dossier was actually confirmed by the Mueller report:

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pee-tape-trump-mueller-report-823755/

"According to the report, on October 30th, 2016, Trump’s private attorney and fixer Michael Cohen received a text from a Russian businessman involved in the Trump Tower Moscow deal, in progress for more than a year. “Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there’s anything else. Just so you know….” Giorgi Rtskhiladze wrote to Cohen. Cohen told investigators he spoke to Trump about the issue after receiving the texts from Rtskhiladze. 

Rtskhiladze later admitted he had been told the tapes were fake, but he did not communicate that to Cohen, the report says. 

Rtskhiladze’s description of the tapes’ content tracks with the unverified information included in the Steele dossier, which claimed that Trump watched Russian prostitutes urinate in a Moscow hotel room in 2013. “Rtskhiladze said ‘tapes’ referred to compromising tapes of Trump rumored to be held by persons associated with the Russian real estate conglomerate Crocus Group, which had helped host the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Russia.”"

I hope the Mi6 officer gets some money back for frivolous lawsuits

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 0 points 7 months ago

Oh! Is this the golden shower report?

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world -2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yup. It’s when he drank piss. Sex worker piss. Trump drank piss. He had prostitute piss in his mouth and swallowed.

Sorry. But I just want to make clear this shitface hired sex workers to drink their champagne. His cultists have to know about this. Piss.

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The accusation was that he watched them piss on the bed the Obamas slept in when they visited. Which seems in-character for someone as infamously petty as Trump.

[-] PatFussy@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

This is actually terrible. Judge Steyn agreed with the defense's stance that the lawsuit should be dismissed because Steele never intended for it to be made public when BuzzFeed published it in 2017. Also, because Trump waited too long.... Why would he give the info the buzzfeed if it was not intended to be released? Why would the time frame matter?? This is some extra backwards shit just to help keep the framing of Trump as a Moscow piss baby. It's clearly working though

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 7 months ago

Trump IS a moscow piss baby

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 7 months ago

Always look at the character of a person when claims like this are made. Trump is a germaphobe and afraid of being sick or seen as weak. It’s very unlikely he’d drink a stranger’s pee.

Now as to the story he watched prostitutes piss on a bed the Obama’s slept in… trump is a vindictive asshole and I believe he’d pay good money to do that today. I would also not be surprised if he said some very racist things, recorded by the russians, during the event.

There are dozens of ways to bypass paywalls, and if you don't learn how to, you'll just end up reading what Rupert Murdoch wants you to read

I'm saying it so people don't click on the article for no reason
