http://ir.net/news/politics/125349/compromising-trump-tape/We dont like sparking rumors, but we do like reporting on ones we think are credible. Over the last couple of weeks, weve been hearing numerous rumors that tapes do in fact exist of President Trump, which would be best described as compromising. Since the release of the infamous Steele dossier back in January, rumors have persisted that Russia may have Kompromat (blackmail material), including tapes of the President from within a Moscow hotel engaging with prostitutes. The rumors, which have erupted over the past couple of weeks, however, are unrelated to the material discussed in the dossier six months ago, and instead may be in the possession of one of our key allies.
From what we have been told, as well as leaks coming from those close to the intelligence community, an ally is currently deciding whether or not they should release tapes (audio, or perhaps even video) to the public and just how they would go about doing so. Claude Taylor, a former White House staff member under President Clinton, who we have cited in the past, stated that he has heard similar rumors: A lot of us are hearing similar chatter-that a certain US ally has a compromising tape of Trump and is debating if/when/how to release it.

(1,257 posts)His supporters will say "So what?... Move on".
Those who despise him will not be surprised at all.
Repugs in Congress will say anything, and do nothing.
At this point, it will just provide amusement.
If anyone thinks that it would cause impeachment, or resignation, I cannot say that I would agree.
We have passed the point of humanistic moralities, and decency long ago.
And he still plagues our waking consciousness with his endless lust for attention in the media.
As was once said: "There is no such thing as bad press".
It seems to be the only true religion that he has.

(11,686 posts)As far as trump is concerned they are Russia and the Middle East ( the parts that hate us ) because he has alienated our TRUE allies. I do not see our TRUE allies wanting to help us in any way.

(11,686 posts)how are they going to do that? As most dictatorship countries they are not going to be allowed to get here to help us and they are probably not going to let us move to their country. The people who are going to need the most protection are the poor and they more than likely do not have skills that will benefit their economy. Yes, I am sure there will be people who will move to those countries but they will be the ones with enough education to benefit them. As far as military power that those countries have trump has basically lost that. The countries we once needed protection from are now in trumps eyes our allies. Unless Germany and other countries that have a strong military come charging in and attack our government to help us ( the true people ) we are screwed.

(404 posts)Better would be to protest all Republican officeholders' headquarters 24/7, getting in the face of any volunteer as President Obama advised. We make it shameful to be a Republican, we get less Republicans, and a Republican President becomes worthless to the party. Then in 2020 we get a progressive in office, after which we finish the transformation of the United States, with much better position to change the Constitution to a more progressive one. At that time, Trump voting idiots die off in any case.
Sorry to change the subject, but my idea makes more sense in the long run.
