I've been unwilling to hike down and see. The smell when you get close is like a physical barrier.

I think "Operation Orange Hands Much Tinier Than Giant Russian Bear Paws Of Vladimir Putin" sounds about right. So I ran it through the Google translator just to see what it looks like in Russian: Операция Оранжевые Руки Много мельче, чем Giant русский медведь лапами Владимира Путина (or in our alphabetski "Operatsiya Oranzhevyye Ruki Mnogo mel'che, chem Giant russkiy medved' lapami Vladimira Putina," So I'm to take it that they don't have a word for "giant"? (Maybe everything's big in Russia.) Also, Vladimira Putina is a GIRL? Now, there's a news scoop for ya, Evan.

Vladimir Putin recorded on a bus talking to Pravda news anchor: "Whoa, whoa, I gotta use some Mentos, just in case I actually meet Trump again. You know I'm automatically drawn to suckers and climbers like him, I just start exploiting them. It's like a magnet. Just flatter them, tell them they're brilliant. I don't even wait. And when you're a powerful Russian oligarch like me, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the balls. You can do anything. Even tip an election."

Ridiculous article.

Does anybody actually believe spotlight-whore Donny could stop himself from boasting about it, making oh-so-clever oblique references that he thinks are cleverly coded, but actually as obvious as the murderer on CSI? (In the first 15 minutes there will be a bit part on screen who adds nothing to the initial investigation. Its him. Actors are expensive, you don't hire them for no reason).

All you have to do is be nice to him (Is that a Billion dollars in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me? Its so big.), and he'll roll over and have his tummy tickled.

In Smiley's People, they called it a honey trap. And with all the rumors about him and Jeffrey Epstein hiring people to recruit underage girls for parties in NY with promises to launch their modeling careers, it's not hard to understand where they got the idea. And he would certainly be gullible enough to fall for it, expecting them to cover it up until it was too late. Seems quite plausible, in fact.
