DemocratSinceBirth's JournalHave Herr Drumpf and Frau Conway apologized to CNN for lying about their reporting?
Is MSNBC becoming FOX LITE?
Even if Pee-gate isnt true, Donald Trump is stuck with it.
The actual report, which is unconfirmed, states that Trump hired prostitutes in Russia to perform a golden showers urination show for him, which Russian authorities planned to use as compromising material to blackmail him. The details have been the subject of some amused debate on Twitterwas Trump actually showered upon? or did he just watch? is urine sterile?but they dont really matter. What matters is that the connection between Trump and kinky pee is now seared into our collective consciousness.
The scandal tracks closely with this famous would you rather conundrum: Would you rather have sex with a goat but have nobody know, or not and have everyone think you did? David Cameron is a real-life exemplar of this query. An unsubstantiated allegation was published last year alleging that he had stuck his nob in a pigs gob. The chances that Trump or Cameron actually did these salacious acts are small, but that doesnt change the fact that everyone cant stop seeing and talking about it.
Trump did his best to discredit the report, signaling in a rare use of all-caps that this was a Drudge sirenlevel offense: FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT! Trumps Twitter feed is fake news incarnate, but (and it pains me to say it) he was not wrong to label Pee-gate a kind of fake news. The paradox is that in the era of fake news, the term fake news has lost any real meaning, in no small part due to Trump. News is as partisan as anything else, a blunt weapon to be used against political opponents. And whether the story is true or not, Trump has to live with it.

It's on. Drumpf presser thread
http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/trump-press-conference-live-stream-watch-online-1201957955/Did Deplorables at 4Chan create the Peepeegate documents ?
It is the Trump trolls at 4Chan that are saying that one of them created the Peepeegate documents. Cui bono? They are, of course, saying that to discredit the story as apocryphal. If the documents were forgeries they were damn good forgeries because they fooled various intelligence agencies, United States senators, and the president.
There is an interesting news story from the Guardian about the authenticity of the documents:
The Guardian: source for 35 page "dossier" is "consistently reliable, meticulous,
and well informed."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/10/fbi-chief-given-dossier-by-john-mccain-alleging-secret-trump-russia-contacts?CMP=share_btn_tw
Senator John McCain passed documents to the FBI director, James Comey, last month alleging secret contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow and that Russian intelligence had personally compromising material on the president-elect himself.
The material, which has been seen by the Guardian, is a series of reports on Trumps relationship with Moscow. They were drawn up by a former western counter-intelligence official, now working as a private consultant.
The Guardian has not been able to confirm the veracity of the documents contents, and the Trump team has consistently denied any hidden contacts with the Russian government.
SNIP
An official in the US administration who spoke to the Guardian described the source who wrote the intelligence report as consistently reliable, meticulous and well-informed, with a reputation for having extensive Russian contacts.
Some of the reports which are dated from 20 June to 20 October last year also proved to be prescient, predicting events that happened after they were sent.
We will learn soon enough if these documents are what they seem to be. It is in the Deplorables interest that they aren't
The hits keep coming
This is different than the "debunked" Rather Bush AWOL story
I said this months ago. The Deplorables have destroyed objective truth. Even if Trump didn't pay Russian hookers to pee on one another to defile a bed the Obamas once slept on it sounds like something he would do and that's all that matters. Now all the Deplorables can do is chase their tails debunking the story.
ON EDIT-We do not have enough information to make definitive conclusions whether or not the account is apocryphal. Maybe it is true. Maybe it isn't.
