[CNN Story on possibly compromising information the Russians have gathered on Trump](http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html) > [@](#): > > Some of the memos were circulating as far back as last summer. What has changed since then is that US intelligence agencies have now checked out the former British intelligence operative and his vast network throughout Europe and find him and his sources to be credible enough to include some of the information in the presentations to the President and President-elect a few days ago. [A Buzzfeed report](https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia?utm_term=.uaek7PNMwl#.njo9Lb1kJ6) relates: > [@](#): > > A dossier making explosive — but unverified — allegations that the Russian government has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” President-elect Donald Trump for years and gained compromising information about him has been circulating among elected officials, intelligence agents, and journalists for weeks. > > The dossier, which is a collection of memos written over a period of months, includes specific, unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians. CNN reported Tuesday that a two-page synopsis of the report was given to President Obama and Trump. The details supposedly involve golden showers from Russian prostitutes at the Ritz in Moscow. What fun. I bet Trump will pissed on Twitter. Seriously, let’s hope this disclosure immunizes him from blackmail. It does bring a whole new meaning to wikileaks. ---

Well, Trump _does_ have an obsession with gold colored things. I guess regular showers just aren’t good enough for him. ---

It’s being discussed in the [del]Trump Pit Forum[/del] Elections Forum. Don’t get your hopes up. He was allegedly an observer, not a participant. Supposedly done in a bed slept in by President Blackenstein as a gesture of [un]respect. ---

When I first read this story (absent details about alleged golden showers) I was curious as to what it might be that the Russians could have that was “blackmail material”. After all, we are talking about someone who just won an election despite a mountain of scandalous conduct that doesn’t seem to worry his supporters one bit. So if this rumour is right, the “blackmail material” is evidence that Trump engaged in kinky sex. Yawn. You could play the video on national television and it would result in a wave of indignation, a lot of comedy material and nothing more. ---

Yawn. You could play the video on national television and it would result in a wave of indignation, a lot of comedy material and nothing more. That’s just one thing. It’s 35 pages of stuff. And despite being released as “breaking news”, it appears to have been around for months. But yeah, it’s hard to blackmail a guy who has no shame. ---

> [@Princhester](#): > > So if this rumour is right, the “blackmail material” is evidence that Trump engaged in kinky sex. Yawn. Well, no. If you read the actual “report” (of whose veracity I am distinctly skeptical, btw), you’ll see references to lots of other accusations including engaging in bribery on business trips to China. ---

It isn’t going to matter. The non-gullible among us already know he’s garbage, this is just one more thing to toss on the heap. Trump will deny it, comedians will make fun of it, his supporters will spout the usual round of cognitive dissonance that passes for excuses and ignore it. Trump could rape an entire litter of kittens on stage and blame Obama while he’s doing it and the idiots who support him would genuinely think it was Obama’s fault. So it was with Bush, so it will be with this orange dickmuppet. It doesn’t matter who’s president, it’s the ignorant-and-proud-of-it shitheads who think that the republicans can do no wrong that make this happen. ---

The Trump supporters who don’t reject this as “fake news” will just hand-wave it away. Russian prostitutes? Well, the culture is different over there. Prostitution is probably legal there. Everyone probably does it. Trump was just respecting another culture’s customs. Even if it’s not legal, it was still consensual. And Melania probably signed-off on the whole thing because she understands the pressures he’s under. She’s classy like that. Not like that ball-busting gorilla Michelle. True, it’s kind of messed up. But at least he was supporting their economy. Those poor whores need every ruble they can get. Trump was just doing his part to make Russia great again, like a patriotic American should. Urine is gross, sure. But it’s sterile! A golden shower never hurt anyone. And most importantly, this happened in the past. Doesn’t matter if it happened a few months ago or a few years ago. The past is the past. I’m sure Jesus has already delivered Trump from this harmless vice, just like he’s done with all his other problems. Trump doesn’t even have to apologize because I already know his heart. He’s a good man, unlike that ISIS-lovin’ Obama. And let’s not forget about that harlot Hillary in all of this. She was having a lesbian golden shower party with illegal aliens when Bengazi was going down, but you don’t hear the lamestream media talking about that, do you? ---

Just sayin’ what? And why would you infer from my post that I’m claiming anything? The story sounds crazy, sure. But then again Trump is a crazy mo-fo. Anything is possible when you’ve got a crazy mofo as the president-elect. But Trump could announce today it’s all true, and his supporters would still be in lock-step behind him because “it’s time for us to move on” and “HILLARY EMAILS BENGAZI PIZZAGATE.” Just to be clear, are you claiming this wouldn’t happen? You might want to open up any Trump thread on this message board and read what some people are posting. Just sayin’. ---

You could play the video on national television and it would result in a wave of indignation, a lot of comedy material and nothing more. There’s an old joke about the wily Commies getting footage of a young, handsome US President banging away at three women. When they show it to him, he asks for a copy “…because the folks at home will be \*so \*impressed.” That used to be funny.
