Wasn't there the theory that he was so friendly with Putin because they have video footage of him getting peed on by Moscow hookers?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, it was him watching Moscow hookers pissing on a bed in the presidential suite of a hotel, with a previous resident of that room being Obama. It's been a while since I thought about the piss tape.

First I'm hearing. Hopefully the last too 😐

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Don’t we all?

[–] cybersandwich 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nothing in this article mentioned that. Unless I missed it too.

So this is just some guy on the Internet spewing bs at this point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't there like a testimony from an FBI guy about the pee tapes or something though? I think there was no hard evidence, but the pee tapes at least have to some plausibility.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

The rumour was that Russia had a video of him getting peed on by prostitutes in Sweden or something. Russia likes to motivate with sticks, even when they dangle a carrot, so if (hah) Russia were involved it stands to reason they'd have something to leverage him with.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody who's not in the cult.

Congratulations to Jessica Denson!

This has been years in the making. We're going to see a shitload more reports (and books) of how incredibly fucked the entire campaigns and administration was under that orange fuckwit.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

NDAs are the biggest crock of shit ever and should be made universally null and void, yes, even in cases where they're valid. What the fuck is the point of having freedom of speech if someone can just coerce/threaten/force you to into signing it away?

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think there is an argument to keep them for things like products in development phases to stop people from blabbing to possible competitors, but this particular situation is bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That could easily be solved by just removing competition from our economy. Lets just work together on shit, that's a lot better for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Good luck with that.

[–] wanderingmagus 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Technically a Page 13 in a government/military setting is an NDA. Now in your ideal world, sure, you'd never need to keep secrets, but in the real world, you probably don't want a potential invader to know your exact defense systems, capabilities, guard locations and the best and least guarded places to come in and out.

Even assuming a completely peaceful world, you probably don't want to be sharing the passwords to critical infrastructure or the private medical information of people on a hospital database.

[–] CharlesDarwin 10 points 8 months ago

GOOD. No way NDAs should even be a thing for something like this.
