The Steele Dossier was largely validated, even the more outrageous stuff like the pee tape. It's fake, but it was a real tape and one of Trump's goons in Russia tipped off Michael Cohen about it and how they stopped it from getting out.

Confirmed in a footnote in the Mueller report of all things, that nobody read.

The report found that Cohen received a text from Russian businessman Giorgi Rtskhiladze that stated he had, "Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there's anything else... Just so you know.'"

In a follow-up text to Cohen, Rtskhiladze makes clear he's talking about "compromising tapes of Trump rumored to be held by persons associated with the Russian real estate conglomerate Crocus Group, which had helped host the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Russia."

Was exactly what stuck out to me. Don't remember when that conclusion was reached.

As best as I can remember, everything in the Steele Dossier has either been verified, or is unverified. Nothing to my knowledge has been proven to be incorrect.

I picked up on that too. The dossier was comprised of raw intel, it wasn't characterized as comprehensive and 100% accurate.

I don't really care if he fucks couches or not, but IKEA shouldn't be used as a brothal.

Which couch?

How the hell is Twitter related to your ability to sink a 3-pointer?

A company I used to work for ran some ads featuring gay couples, and we got a shit load hate mail and messages that we had to respond to "thanking them for their feedback" I was one of the few that said fuck that, I'm not thanking bigotry, they still had us do it for a few weeks before allowing us to ignore them. I just said from the get go, I'm not doing these cases, if you have a problem with that let me know, if you guys want to do them be my guest.

Don't put up with this shit.

"BuT eVeRyOnE iS oN tWiTtEr"

Yeah, because people like you make it compulsory and other people who won't stop complaining about it refuse to leave. 🤷‍♂️

saying that participating in social media is necessary for players

That's a rational statement from the viewpoint of "you exist to make us money by cultivating brand recognition". Objectively, it is in no way necessary to participate in any or all aspects of human society. That it may bring benefits does not make it 'necessary', irregardless of the fact that such participation can also bring harms.

Ok, that made me chuckle.

So, basically what you would have gotten from the white pages, and an incomplete social security number. Is he worried someone is going to try to steal his identity? Mail him anthrax? Text or email him dick pics? Wasn't he already concerned about those things? He's the nominee for VP, and his running mate tried to have his predecessor killed on national television. He has tied to Russian oligarchs who defenestrate judges, and he's the target of international spies who want his access to state secrets. He's worried about half his social security number?

It doesn't take much to find anyones SSN.

nah, you're thinking of the guy who owns x. like anyone would be dumb enough to destroy that much brand recognition by renaming twitter..
