Oh please, Smitty.
Annexation of Crimea wasn't a minor annoyance.
Didn't bother me, I thought it was nicely executed, my only complaint, is that they didn't go big, all the way to the Dniepr, and take Mykoliav too. Might as well have Odessa and Moldova while your'e at it, Ivan, go big or go home.
Ivan should have gone all the way to Madrid. Fuck the Eurocucks...I'll drink a toast to Mother Russia on a job well done.
Just stay on your fucking side of the Atlantic or get nuked back to the Stone Age.
Still got my foreskin thanks for asking. - Montegriffo.
Can we change the title of the thread to Cuck Intel Agency.
So is this what happens when a non-Skull and Bones member is elected? Is this because there are so many skeletons in the closet they are scared what Trump might use them for? Is this because everyone is scared shitless of Flynn?

This Trump dossier fiasco is NOT one of Facebook's 10 trending news items, although two guys kissing at the Golden Globes is still up there days later.
Weird. All every news outlet can talk about is the dossier.
So the website BuzzFeed decided to publish a series of memos that have been floating around for months alleging all kinds of terrible things about Donald Trump.
Some of those terrible allegations have to do with efforts to influence the American elections and Trump. Some of them have to do with Trump’s personal sexual conduct.
Readers of this newspaper know well not to include me among Trump’s supporters. But the scurrilousness of what BuzzFeed has done here is so beyond the bounds of what is even remotely acceptable it should compel even those most outraged by Trump’s political excesses to come to his defense and to the defense of a few other people mentioned in these papers whose names are also dragged through the mud.

This part of the article is what was worth quoting:
“Publishing this dossier reflects how we see the job of reporters in 2017,” Smith writes. This is an amazing thing to say, because if you think it through, it means publishing open libels and slanders is the job of reporters in 2017.
“Fake news will become more sophisticated, and fake, ambiguous, and spun-up stories will spread widely,” warned an important American editor at the end of December 2016. His name: Ben Smith. His publication: BuzzFeed.
