- Too many clouds here -- nm - decline Feb 10, 15:03

  - yeah, this is clickbait defined. so everyone rushes to see if it's the hookers pissing on the bed.... - x Feb 10, 14:07 13
    - I think this is more about CNN's defensiveness/wanting to be vindicated. They don't like being called fake news, they weren't the ones who published - Roger More Feb 10, 14:17 5
      - perhaps. but if that's the case, they shouldnta broke it at 5 on friday afternoon!...nm - x Feb 10, 14:21 4
        
        Twas a bit surprised by the timing myself. Maybe positioning it for the Sunday shows? -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 14:25 3
        
        yeah, i think that's right...nm - x Feb 10, 14:31 2

    - also, "US investigators." CNN, please. -- nm - Max Feb 10, 14:09
    - FWIW, I assumed it was not about that stuff. Also think it's worth reporting, not sure how to make it less click-baity -- nm* - ty97 Feb 10, 14:09 3
      - I agree. The salacious stuff is really the least important thing in that dossier. The fact that they corroborated some of it lends more credence - pmb Feb 10, 14:45
      - oh, i think it's likely worth reporting and i don't care if you link it. (though to me this mostly doesn't look like lots of smoke).... - x Feb 10, 14:19 1
        
        I didn't take it as a personal attack or personal affront, don't worry - ty97 Feb 10, 14:25

- i hope not...nm - x Feb 10, 13:23
- I don't think so. Just an easy dead period until baseball season starts. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 10, 13:23
- Can't say for sure, but I think he's just taking a break until Trump hysteria dies down. (So, probably?) -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 13:20 2
  - that was my guess. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 10, 13:26 1
    - I'm sure he'll be scratching the four year itch before long ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 13:34

the knicks have banned charles oakley for life from madison square garden....nm - x Feb 10, 13:16 14
- Fuck the Knicks! Free Charles Oakley! - Krusty Feb 10, 13:25 12
  - You should just become a Nets fan -- nm - decline Feb 10, 14:21 2
    - Unlike any other sport in this case I root for both teams. It's a different shitshow in Brooklyn than in Manhattan. NY basketball is at its lowest. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 15:45
