The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Wow, that's not what came out.
The Obama admin's IC wanted to push a narrative that Putin was helping Trump


Nope. The Steel Dossier sat on desks of pollies, but copies were passed around. Some of the items in it were possible violations and so it made it's way into intelligence hands (McCain gave one to them)- and most of it was not looked on well by intelligence, but a few things they were curious about. No one bought the golden showers part, and it was deliberately not made clear what intelligence was curious about. In the end there were some 220 (?IIRC) contacts with the Russians by the Trump campaign so there was a there, but the influence was deemed minimal.

You should be able to smell this, if not your smeller is off. Too fix your smeller, a good knock up side the head is warranted, one that makes you fall down. Some people can fix it themselves without all that, like the lawn guy.
