    I'm pretty sure that there were some "drinking urine is a Covid preventative" things out there in the MAGAverse... though most likely those were started as jokes among Q-Anon types. But there are in fact Anti-vaxxers who were in on it.

    I'm at work, so you'll have to do your own searches...

    You have to understand the nature of kompromat in Putin's world. It isn't just about Putin having compromising material, it's about knowing he has that material and isn't doing anything with it. It makes Trump more comfortable with Putin if Putin has kompromat because Putin knows some of his more secret proclivities and is (or seems to be) ok with it. They're buds now.

    Putin will never blackmail Trump. They don't consider Trump an agent that is controlled, as we saw in his first Presidency where afterwards Russia admitted Trump was kind of a failure for them as he didn't do all the things he promised or that they hoped he would do. Trump is more an agent of chaos, and agent of weakening America's grip on the world.

    Trump will never be blackmailed by Putin. Currently Trump is in the submissive position and wants Putin's respect as a fellow strongman, so there is no need. If Putin ever betrays his sense of loyalty then Trump will be furious and go scorched earth on him and he won't care what collateral damage there is. It's the Cohen playbook.

    Putin might use it if a Trump Presidency is failing and they want to drown him in scandal to cause chaos in the US, but I don't think there is anything anyone could say about Trump that would reduce his stature among his followers.

    I feel like Trump sees Putin as an ally and gets played like a harp. Remember that time in the presser post Helsinki when Trump supported the idea of arresting Bill Browder lol?

    But as you say, Trump was too dumb and weak to deliver on reversing sanctions.

    Yeah, he had that guilty AF look like "I just gave away the farm for a Trump hotel that won't get built in Vladivostok in 2030"

    My only regret is that I didn't sell all of my remaining Tesla stock earlier this week - I only sold about a quarter of it.

    Something involving Putin's penis being inserted into or more of Trump's orifices, I'd guess.

    Surely, the point about the story was that it was the prostitutes that were pissing on the bed that Obama had slept on. He wouldn't have come into contact with any germs, would he.

    As to being sceptical, the issue as I presented it is nothing to do with Trump. Any scepticism is about what Putin would have tried to achieve... not what Trump wanted. In that context a piss tape sounds exactly like what the ex-head of the KGB would have tried to achieve. It's not 'natural', (like someone having sex). It's kinky and sordid.

    Y'see, this is another example of why I should finish reading the thread before responding :(

    I don't have a problem with thinking it's total BS. I'm just struggling to understand why it CAN'T be true, particularly as the allegation is about the intentions of Vladimir Putin. I mean, that fecker would have probably tried to get Trump into a room with two women pissing on Obama's bed even if Trump DIDN'T want it.

    I like the way they all get out and try and claim like it's some sort of achievement... 'Look, we drove at 4 miles an hour around a slight corner and we're still alive' :)

    You have time. JP Morgan is predicting <$130 after Q4 2024 sales are reported.

    The real problem is that even worse Kompromat has emerged since then and no one seems to care

    e.g Trump sending covid testing kit to Putin while Americans were dying

    Seems bad!

    But he said tests were overrated (on the same day he sent the machines to his vladdy) and also that if we tested less we would have fewer cases. It was a win-win!

    It's remarkable the extent to which Trump's oligarchy is taking shape.

    Miller's podcast with Glasser pointed. out the absurd corruption of Elrond as huge financial backer, being actually on stage with Trump and being promised a role in government.

    Great work everyone!

    Not sure that's worse in marketing/political terms.

    It's a bit like the way the tories over here had INDUSTRIAL levels of corruption with the covid ppe supplies, (and payments to companies with litle to no proof they needed them), with literally TENS of billions of pounds going missing and yet, somehow, a labour minister getting 2 free tickets for a taylor swift concert is headline news in the tabloids.

    People can't relate to financial shenanigans. They CAN relate to someone getting a freebie to go to a concert they want to go to.

    Something sick and a bit twisted goes over badly with the rubes whereas someone banging a porn star or grabbing women by the pvssy... hey, that just means you're a red-blooded male in the west so what's the issue.

    Even sending tests to your bestie who is also a 'strong man' is less unattractive than being a weirdo who wants to watch kinky sex stuff.

    At least, it's arguable one way or the other and I suspect it comes down more to the person reading or seeing it as to what's worse.
