Mike Lester cartoon: an angry donkey labeled both MEDIA and FAKE NEWS speaks into a camera. "Donald Trump's alleged sex thing is the worst event in the history of Planet Earth!" From behind the camera, Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Anthony Weiner, each labeled with bad sex things, smile and give a thumbs-up. In the corner, a Twitter bird labeled "REAL NEWS" is beaten and bound.

John McCain felt it was worth forwarding to the FBI. Intelligence chiefs also passed it along to Obama and Trump. And although the pissgate stuff is definitely the popular focus, there's also serious and legitimate poo poo in there about Manafort and Page.

It's questionable, but it has some legs. I think right now the most easily verifiable claim is about Michael Cohen being in Prague, to which his only defense has just be to post a picture of his closed passport as evidence he has never been in Prague.

So, we'll see. At any rate they were going to feel justified in ignoring verifiable news in the first place. Mother fuckers running with pizzagate do not care about truth or verifiability in the first place.

I agree that it's wonderful, but I actually find it very inspiring and encouraging to see these people plugging away, in spite of grievous setbacks, at their important but thankless work. It makes sense of geopolitics too, turning it into a very difficult problem to untangle rather than Bad Guys sitting in their skull thrones cackling maniacally.

My absolute favorite is when they talk about Taiwan, because of all the James Bond poo poo Taiwan gets up to and bungles miserably. Secret underwater doors for stealing nuclear waste! Disguised missiles! GREEN BEE!

Second favorite is Vadim's Bag, god I wish they'd post that picture.

On the other hand there's zero chance that a legit agent/cy would ever bother to type the é character so Politifact rates this report FALSE, BUT LOLWORTHY.

i'd like to believe this would hurt Trump's image, but it appears to be an obvious bait, and even on the off chance it were true, is there anybody left on American soil who's still to make up their mind about Trump, or willing to entertain changing their opinion on him? maybe I'm being pessimistic, but it seems like those who support Trump have already decided they don't care. They won't care if it's fake, they won't care if it's true. They won't care if he hired hookers to take a poo poo on his face and they won't care if he shot a man. They won't care if he doesn't build the wall and they won't care if the economy tanks.

Well, I can say that if the fake "Donald Trump is a piss man" report led to the unearthing of his secret but extensive history as a piss man, set to a backing track of frantic all-caps denial tweets, I would probably laugh.

Yeah, but there are legal things too... reports are that the FBI had already been investigating it after John McCain passed it on to them, and, hell, even the Alpha/Alfa Group spelling problem that some people are pointing to could also be a transliteration issue (the actual name of the company is Альфа-Групп, but they do like to go by "Alfa" in the West)
