The problem is you want to feel better. Not change something. Some people just like feeling better than others, others like making other things better.

NYT always does a decent job at writing articles 6 years after they are done spreading the propaganda.

Why the Discredited Dossier Does Not Undercut the Russia Investigation

It was a series of memos about purported Trump-Russia links written by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence agent, during the 2016 campaign.

It cited unnamed sources who claimed there was a “well-developed conspiracy of coordination” between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and that Russia had a blackmail tape of Mr. Trump with prostitutes. In addition to giving his memos to his client, Mr. Steele gave some to the F.B.I. and reporters. Buzzfeed published 35 pages in January 2017.

Many things that were not immediately apparent about the dossier have since become clearer. It grew out of a political opposition research effort to dig up information about Mr. Trump funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party. Their law firm, Perkins Coie, contracted with a research firm called Fusion GPS, which subcontracted research about Trump business dealings in Russia to Mr. Steele. Mr. Steele in turn hired Igor Danchenko, the recently indicted researcher, to canvass for information from people he knew, including in Europe and Russia.

Was the dossier a reliable source of information?

No. It has become clear over time that its sourcing was thin and sketchy.

No corroborating evidence has emerged in intervening years to support many of the specific claims in the dossier, and government investigators determined that one key allegation — that Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, had met with Russian officials in Prague during the campaign — was false

When the F.B.I. interviewed Mr. Danchenko in 2017, he told the bureau that he thought the tenor of the dossier was more conclusive than was justified; for example, Mr. Danchenko portrayed the blackmail tape story as rumors and speculation that he was not able to confirm. He also said a key source had called him without identifying himself, and that he had guessed at the source’s identity. The indictment accuses Mr. Danchenko of lying about that call and of concealing that a Democratic Party-linked public relations executive was his source for a claim about Trump campaign office politics.

The document is not that heavy on words, just looks like a compilation as if some Redditor wrote it.

They got Twitter screenshots in here

Didn't know his real name was James D. Hamel

It's amazing all of our propaganda outlets unanimously report on the 'israel-Hezbollah war'.

Not the 'IDF-Hezbollah war'

Or the 'israel-Lebanon war'

But trying to use their same twisted terminology they used in Gaza. Except Lebanon is an internationally recognized country.

Anyone supporting israel deserves to be shamed. What's next, inclusion for people who wave around Swastikas?

I'm going to call a Nazi a Nazi and a Zionist a Zionist. Zionism is the name their death cult gave themself in the 1900s.

There were many Jews in the protests nobody was calling them Zionists.

People protesting against Genocide know the difference between Zionists and Jews. The administration is just lying because they are Zionists.

I'm convinced he is innocent. If he was not they would have evidence instead of paid testimonies against him.

Israel does not seem very responsive to diplomacy. Maybe you can send Netanyahu and Biden a letter to ask them to cut it out.

This was not a mistake. Their lies were pointed out but instead of apologizing they doubled down on their fake news propaganda.

CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash deliberately spread Zionist smear propaganda. They have been doing so for an entire year.

CNN Runs Gaza Coverage Past Jerusalem Team Operating Under Shadow of IDF Censor

D-d-d-double kill Genocide!

The israeli plant Keir Stürmer sucks up to the far right? Shocker.

So CNN host Jake Tapper tries to get Gratchen Whitmer to attack Rashida Tlaib on fabcricated claims of antisemitism?

Blue MAGA media is catching up to Fox News quality at lightspeed.

You wouldn't guess it from all the headlines in the newspapers about how israel did a 'impressive technological pre-emptive attack".

Linus is great. Sure he has his flaws but of all the flawed people he doesnt have horrible ones.

Cut a Liberal and a Fascist bleeds

Oops you're right I misread. Thanks for the correction.

It's a joke about how people pretend israel is a Democracy with equal rights for all while a Palestinian woman gets jailed without charges for a decade 10 months.

Based. Politicians only listen when people crash the economy. Direct action has the most impact by far.
