Report: Russia Has Trump Golden Showers Blackmail

[Denzil_DC]

76. That's fine, and I think we agree on a whole lot of stuff.

I'm wary of fixating on the golden showers aspect because unless there's actual uncontrovertible clear video (heaven forbid), it's unprovable, and I'm thinking of Dan Rather here. It would go a few ways: "How could anyone in their right minds believe he'd do a thing like that" (hi, Kellyanne) or "It's no more or less than what I'd expect of the ole pussy-grabber" or "Big deal." It's certainly grabbing a few headlines at the moment.

OTOH, Trump et al. can't really prove a negative - "Here's definitive proof Donald J. Trump has never paid ladies of the night to relieve themselves on each other on a hotel bed formerly occupied by FLOTUS" - so it's damaging in what may be a relatively trivial sense (especially as we know how thin-skinned Trump is, and he's already being roundly ridiculed about it on his Twitter feed), but the meat is, as you say, the other allegations, and that one is just a part of potentially explosive blackmail material the Russians may hold.
