    He should have been stopped by the Meuller Report. So many things, like an insurrection for example, should have made him ineligible for office. It is getting harder to put this all on Trump - people are enabling this. That he still has supporters is beginning to say more about them than it does Trump - we already know who he is.

      My conspiracy suspicion is that the Mueller stuff was just to stop protests like the Women’s March from happening. Huge grassroots protests went away as soon as Mueller was appointed because the liberals who make up those kind of protests had faith in the system.

        Took me so long to figure out what the word around the “removed” was. For others (using a symbol so it isn’t removed again), I think it is “susp|cion”

          It’s fine on my instance. We don’t have many filters here. If you’re referring to the third word in their comment then you are correct.

          Are words triggering comment removals? Can’t imagine why suspicion would be one of them.

            Specific strings of letters are filtered in some instances. So it isn’t that word, it’s the 4 letters that are being filtered out in the middle of the word. But apparently it’s only on some instances.

    It’s worth noting that the most salacious allegation from the Steele Dossier was actually confirmed by the Mueller report:

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pee-tape-trump-mueller-report-823755/

    "According to the report, on October 30th, 2016, Trump’s private attorney and fixer Michael Cohen received a text from a Russian businessman involved in the Trump Tower Moscow deal, in progress for more than a year. “Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there’s anything else. Just so you know….” Giorgi Rtskhiladze wrote to Cohen. Cohen told investigators he spoke to Trump about the issue after receiving the texts from Rtskhiladze. 

    Rtskhiladze later admitted he had been told the tapes were fake, but he did not communicate that to Cohen, the report says. 

    Rtskhiladze’s description of the tapes’ content tracks with the unverified information included in the Steele dossier, which claimed that Trump watched Russian prostitutes urinate in a Moscow hotel room in 2013. “Rtskhiladze said ‘tapes’ referred to 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.”"

      Yup. It’s when he drank piss. Sex worker piss. Trump drank piss. He had prostitute piss in his mouth and swallowed.

      Sorry. But I just want to make clear this shitface hired sex workers to drink their champagne. His cultists have to know about this. Piss.

    This is actually terrible. Judge Steyn agreed with the defense’s stance that the lawsuit should be dismissed because Steele never intended for it to be made public when BuzzFeed published it in 2017. Also, because Trump waited too long… Why would he give the info the buzzfeed if it was not intended to be released? Why would the time frame matter?? This is some extra backwards shit just to help keep the framing of Trump as a Moscow piss baby. It’s clearly working though

        Always look at the character of a person when claims like this are made. Trump is a germaphobe and afraid of being sick or seen as weak. It’s very unlikely he’d drink a stranger’s pee.

        Now as to the story he watched prostitutes piss on a bed the Obama’s slept in… trump is a vindictive asshole and I believe he’d pay good money to do that today. I would also not be surprised if he said some very racist things, recorded by the russians, during the event.
