Catching up, it seems like this buzzfeed leak will rightfully get dismissed by Trump, and any conservative as fake. -- (edited) - Inigo Jan 11, 05:27 16
- [deleted] 7
  - I don't think it should be dismissed, but I think we should remain skeptical until there is any confirmation -- nm - ty97 Jan 11, 05:33

        I wouldn't generalize, but the Atlantic article you posted above is one example. -- nm - Roger More Jan 11, 05:59
- The part about other journalists having access to it for 2-3 months and not publishing is interesting - Strongbad Jan 11, 05:30 7
  - Because it's been acknowledged by the intelligence services as something Trump is being briefed on. - Roger More Jan 11, 05:41
  - They way I understand it, Buzzfeed chose to publish because CNN went live with the story about the briefing. - ty97 Jan 11, 05:34

    - A conservative pundit I follow says he saw the memo in August - Strongbad Jan 11, 05:39 3

      - [deleted] 1
        
        And I've agreed with you, but a majority of ST kept telling me his primary and general election wins had nothing to do with the media. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 11, 07:32

        that kind of makes him not idiotic....nm - x Jan 11, 05:39 3
        
        You can be cunning, and a great saleman, and still lack basic intelligence. - Inigo Jan 11, 05:45 1

  - But this kid isn't just dislikable. He has serious issues. It's unreal. -- nm - volnelk Jan 11, 05:26 2
    - I think he gets so hopped up on adrenaline that he can't control his actions. -- nm - CQ Jan 11, 05:29 1
      - He's like Philip the Hyper-Hypo from SNL. -- (link) - Strongbad Jan 11, 05:34

- Stick a fork in DeVos. She's gonna be a sacrificial lamb. -- nm - Mop Jan 10, 23:32
Reading through those Buzzfeed pages, the reports smell like the Yellowcake intelligence, which would be a lousy last-minute legacy for Obama. - Max Jan 10, 22:40 2
- Don't smear Obama with this garbage. -- nm - Mop Jan 10, 22:52 1
  - I'm not, unless this is the doc that Obama showed to Trump, and it turns out to be crap. - Max Jan 10, 22:59

I'm not sure I've ever disagreed with an ST post more than "Bill Clinton was an immeasurably better leader". -- nm - David Jan 10, 19:45 35
- I'm with you. -- nm - pmb Jan 10, 21:40

  - B2 - you don't get credit for robbing a bank because you're not really in a position to do it, plus if you did you'd get caught and face consequences. -- (edited) - Roger More Jan 10, 19:58 2
    - I can't follow the part not in the im. Doesn't matter. The voters in the rust belt states who voted Obama twice and then swung Trump, I imagine, would - Loyola Jan 10, 20:05 1
      - I was missing a "not". It's corrected now. -- nm - Roger More Jan 10, 20:10
  - It is, but you've just compared a fraction of a man, selfish and damaged, with the classiest world leader of the 21st century. - David Jan 10, 19:50 22
    - I stand by it. That man brought peace to Northern Ireland. He could kill Santa Claus and that won't change. -- nm - Loyola Jan 10, 19:52 21
      - Clinton got things done in a way Obama only dreamed of. -- nm - Spawn Jan 10, 19:55 20

        Along with how many laws passed for gun control? Or for, well, anything? - Spawn Jan 10, 20:05 15
        
        Ask me for all my money. Did I give it to you? No? You're a failure. - David Jan 10, 20:07 13
        
        But see, Bill would talk you into it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 10, 20:12 12
        
        This is revisionist history. It was a different world. Compromise still existed, and he did plenty too. -- nm - pmb Jan 10, 21:44
        
        Now you're creating an Imaginary Bill to rival Imaginary Trump. - David Jan 10, 20:18
        
        Bill Clinton tried to pass a health care law. Did he talk congress into it? Clintoncare, everyone has that now -- nm - Bacon Jan 10, 20:16 7
        
        Yeah, and my healthcare cost increase has been *awesome*. -- nm - Spawn Jan 10, 20:17 6
        
        Look over the past 5 years. Now look at the previous 5 years. Then let's talk. -- nm - pmb Jan 10, 21:45
        
        if you take thirty million previously uninsured people and put them on *any* system, the costs will go up. to expect anything else was dumb. -- nm - mafic Jan 10, 20:47 2
        
        "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." - Strongbad Jan 11, 04:13
        
        or to put it another way, your insurance rates were kept artificially low by the misery of others. -- nm - mafic Jan 10, 20:48
        
        It would have been just as bad or worse without the ACA. -- nm - Krusty Jan 10, 20:41
        
        Wait for the one you get without it... -- nm - David Jan 10, 20:19
        
        And make you think it was your idea -- nm - VMan Jan 10, 20:12 1
        
        Barrack would ask politely and then thank you for your time when you laughed at him. -- nm - Spawn Jan 10, 20:14
        
        Yeah exactly. Kids killed in a school. The fuck. -- nm - Loyola Jan 10, 20:06
