I treat Louise's reports as "raw intel" GliderGuider May 2017 #4

Very wise. paleotn May 2017 #42

Me, too. Although I don't trust her, we *do* share a common enemy: Putin. BlueCaliDem May 2017 #105

Trust, but verify? How can you trust something you can't verify? progressoid May 2017 #130

Ask Ronald Reagan - it was his quote. GliderGuider May 2017 #133

Seriously? You're using Ronald Reagan as an example? progressoid May 2017 #136

No, I was using it as a joke. I guess irony isn't this Internet's strong suit. Sorry. nt GliderGuider May 2017 #140

And you know this how? GliderGuider May 2017 #13

Literally, she's a fiction writer. That's what she did before becoming a Tory MP muriel_volestrangler May 2017 #18

And now Louise has great intel connections womanofthehills May 2017 #21

She thinks Democracy Now are Russian shills. Enough said. progressoid May 2017 #131

That's interesting, but it has no bearing on her dismembering of Trump. nt GliderGuider May 2017 #36

Not a good idea to hide a link behind an alias gristy May 2017 #66

Alias? It's the fucking headline of the piece! GliderGuider May 2017 #70

You know that's a silly question, right? Orrex May 2017 #93

You raised the question of anonymous sources. GliderGuider May 2017 #94
