The rumor turned out to be untrue. Keep discussing a fairy tale then, I guess. Don't break the circle.

Discussing a rumor AS A RUMOR and never once presenting it as fact is not "fake news." The rumor existed. The journalists merely reported and debated it's validity.

You know, like journalists are supposed to do.

But keep trying to equate it to outright fabrications and lies to vindicate the right-wing cult media echo chamber. The only person here you're fooling is yourself.

Didn't Hillary bring that up?

At any rate, do you aspire to be like the right? Doing what you think they do? Interdasting.
actually I don't think I participated in this thread in any way. I try to not jump on rumors. I don't always succeed, but I do try, and wait for the story to hash out one way or the other. And save your gaslighting bullshit for a drumpf supporter. I'm immune.

Not true at all. I have never taken the side I think Meuller is on a witch hunt or any of the other crap goinjg around. So bothsdiesism or whatever its called not found.

You equated Fox News with unspecified leftwing conspiracy sites & gave us the "they're just as bad" routine. 30% of the public gets their news from Fox. Few could even navigate to the other.

Was this rumor true or false? I'll file this one in with the "Trump is starting his own SS" conspiracy.

Again we find ourselves logic constrained.
A false rumor is not the same as a rumor that turns out to be false.
A "false rumor" implies fabrication and lies. You have no basis for this.
And you do this constantly. You are dishonest and you peddle an dishonest agenda.

But you won't ask those questions. You will instead play the whataboutism card.

Wel, yeh, but what about Horowitz' inquiry?

What about Bill & Loretta?

What do they have to do with Mueller's investigation & the slime being cast his way? Nothing.

What's really funny is he tries to do a drumpfian gaslight effect on it as well, and it's several levels below drumpfs efforts and his are pathetically low to begin with.
LOL. Nah I wouldn't go so far as to say Trump is better at it. He is after all selling that shit to his base, they are all too easily influenced (due to varying degrees of limited intelligence as well as willingness). It works as well on us as it does when these morons come in here and give it a whirl. I'm always surprised when people speak of Trump's gift of gab or talent in scam and even of his charisma. He truly needs nor possesses any of those skills and neither does he need to with his base. He vomits bile and they lap it up not because he's particularly good at it but because they're super hungry for bile, hatred and ugliness. What he had/has that his base does not have is money to throw around and a reality show that his base believed showed him as a no-nonsense, get-things-done personality neglecting to see that it was scripted, edited, directed and contrived as shit. Trump offers nothing of value, his supporters place value in that and in things that have no value. i.e. discrimination, segregation, hate, hurting people around them even if they themselves will be hurt in the process. Yes, he speaks to them but not because he shines on high. He's bad at it in fact. He's not converting people but he IS losing people. His supporters just don't care and excuse it because as I've said before The stupid and horrible as well as opportunists FINALLY have a voice in the top office. He's not a gift to them. He's a horror show but they are too stupid or horrible (possibly... probably both) to care. The most ridiculous part of all is that they don't care that he's a national/global disaster as long as they can push their agenda.

If he were converting people I might give an inch on my opinion that he's good at something but as of yet he has said or done nothing to convince me otherwise that he has anything to offer the world. He is one of the profoundest cases of Waste of Skin I've ever seen.

They have sunk. I save the depths of my nastiness for them and feel no sense that it depicts who I am. I know I'm a good person. Trump's base thinks being good/decent is a weakness and aim to crush it. As does Trump. It's pathetic that they choose to believe they have no choice in the matter because decency makes their skin crawl and they refuse to see the difference between vulnerability through decency and weakness of being dupes. The dumb twats can't even see that the best way to be duped is to not understand what being duped really is.

On a rare occasion my husband and I have discussed his negative reaction toward me being vulnerable (rare because I'm not particularly oversensitive). His gut response to it is to feel like I'm trying to manipulate him. I liken Trumpublicans to this way of thinking accept they feel it about decency.

Love is love, and drumpf said he'd be a champion for the LGBTQ citizens (I have a feeling he may have been not entirely truthful on that one tho)

You don't remember all the crappy "dossier" rumors just after the election? It was paid for lies by the Clinton campaign to discredit Trump and it just backfired, yet it was reported all over the media. I mean seriously - wtf?!

http://www.newsweek.com/pee-tape-trump-russia-investigation-justice-department-buzzfeed-710734

The dossier is at the center of a legal and political mess with near-constant new developments. Here's a very basic summary, with help from the Washington Post: The American company Fusion GPS started doing research on several Republican candidates during the 2016 campaign at the direction of the Washington Free Beacon. A lawyer for the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee retained Fusion GPS from April 2016 to October 2016. Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, who eventually compiled the dossier—of which Clinton staffers say they weren't aware.

BuzzFeed published it in January 2017. The Justice Department appointed Robert Mueller to investigate Russia's meddling in the election in May 2017. Mueller's team then met with Steele as part of the probe, according to the Associated Press.

Somewhere along the way, one of the claims in the dossier—that Trump paid prostitutes to urinate on a Moscow hotel bed where Barack and Michelle Obama had once slept—went viral. The "golden shower" dossier got its nickname and, given the rumor that the Kremlin has video of the incident, has sparked many "pee tape" jokes.

Nope. He just wanted all this time to be in the top position in the nation so his love for Puti would beyond scrutiny. The rest of the LGBTQ... They can burn for all he cares. Speaking of top position, Puti for the win. Trump will never win that position in their Epic Love Story.

Um, because one spilled over into the other. Even WAPO acknowledges that the Clinton water boy, and the texts to his mistress, cause a problem for Mueller.

Of course the Republicans are going to exploit this. The Clintonistas once again gave them a lifeline. You should be blaming the waterboy for tainting the water.

LOL! I never cared one iota about the piss story, even if it's true. The guy is a Plague! Them's the facts and you know it's true but you embrace the sickness, pustules, fever and abundance of vomit. The smarter minds know that eradicating the Plague is The Only Answer to surviving it.

What about it do you think is bad news for him, considering it's not about him?

Regardless, the conservative hysteria about this investigation is one of the most truly depressing things I've seen in government...well...ever. It turns out that the National Security Adviser was secretly in the employ of foreign powers during the campaign and transition and might have still be working with them while in office while he lied to the FBI about it. What is the response? To attack the people he lied to and to go after the FBI, not to immediately start investigating the Trump administration to see what other foreign agents he might have hired. In fact, the Republican response has been to stymie those investigations to the best of their ability, meaning that the only group now meaningfully investigating the president works for him.

The level of corruption here is without precedent as far as I can tell. I hope we can all agree on the need to clean house in 2018. Even conservatives should be on board with the Democrats taking over one of the two houses of Congress just so we can get some meaningful oversight.

Did you read the article?

Yes, the right wing noise machine is all over it, even though Strzok was reassigned six months ago, two months into the investigation. It's hard to see how Strzok might be influencing the investigation today.

They're all over any bit of innuendo they can fabricate & conflate to portray Trump as a victim of conspiracy by the deep state.

Trump is merely victim to his own lies & incompetence.
