Is it unclear?
The Donald Trump that has a huge debt to Russia?
The Russia that might be interested in sensitive information about the royal navy?
The royal navy that provides the most immediate nuclear deterrent to Russia?
Right? Turns out all that Russia Russia Russia shit wasn't me just smoking too much pot. Who knew?
So, we trick the Don into visiting the UK and then y'all arrest him under the Official Secrets Act? Do you think you could maybe throw him in the Tower of London? Quick, while he's still just a citizen so it doesn't count as an International Incident?
(Sorry, I just get so fed up with the spinelessness of our legal system with regard to this traitor.)
He’s supposed to be opening another golf resort so maybe he’ll come for the grand opening and we can nab him then.
Is he even trying with the grease makeup anymore? It looks like he put it on while skateboarding off a cliff.
How long could you bare to be in the smell he reportedly emits. The amount of time the staffer spent putting that on was the same as how long they could hold their breath.
iirc he doesn’t “let” anyone else do it. For, yknow, reasons.
Isn’t this the Steele Dossier guy? I thought he was discredited, although I admit I don’t know as much about that whole situation as I probably should.
The dossier was raw intel compiled as opposition research that was leaked. It was never intended to be 100% correct, instead it was supposed to be a starting point for further research.
After the leak it was mischaracterized as a finished product and so inaccuracies were used to smear it.
Worth mentioning that anyone aware enough to understand why smearing the Steele Dossier was important was also aware of everything you said. In other words, anyone repeating the lie knew they were lying. That's not always the case.
No it was the opposite. Information laid out in his dossier continues to prove true over time as more details are released to the public. Not sure that anything has been shown to be false.
Most criticism you find is heavy on colorful language like "'fake news" and "common sense" but lacks any disproving evidence.
Not everything has been proven to be true, but nothing has been proven to be false.
I thought the pee tape had been debunked but looking over Wikipedia I see that’s not the case and I’m misremembering.
A little extra rough that the naval defence guy states the claims are untrue
At least they weren't left at a bus stop this time.
As a guy who loves a good story, maybe add Trumpet to the no fly list to or from UK? In fact I would put him on the interpol arrest list. That would let him feel consequences.
I dunno.. Supposedly British naval tradition is "monstrous! Nothing but rum, sodomy, prayer, and the lash!"* and Trump is a teetotaler who would never pray to anything but a flattering AI rendering of himself..
*to use the longer version of the fake Churchill quote

A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
