  What the almighty fuck.

  The least plausible thing about this is that Putin has been able to keep his mouth shut about it.

    Putin was literally a KGB spy before he went into politics, he knows how to keep a secret or two. He’s an awful human being but he’s not a complete idiot, that’s OUR dictator’s job

    Putin can talk to Trump about it when Trump gets a little too out of line.

      Like that time they met with no translators, or the other time when Trump literally ate the notes from the meeting.

    The Putin part might have been an inside joke if they were aware of some blackmail. Then again, if he’s blackmailing people… he’d have to be quiet about it… and it sure as hell appeared he had some kind of leverage on Trump around his rise to the presidency, we just all assumed it was russian tampering.

      Yeah, but imagine in 2016 claiming that the reason trump bows down to putin is because he has pics of trump sucking clintons dick.

      Do you have any idea how crazy that would sound, even yesterday? In 2016 you’d just have your post deleted for spreading false info.

      Except, it wouldn’t have been false.

        Shit. Can you imagine half the bingo carts we’ve seen since then?

        I mean, you’re in the 80s and 90s and 00s, we were all blabbering on oh this would never fly back then. Yada yada, but since COVID… It just seems there’s been a never ending stream of what the actual fuck.

        The first Tyson-zoned POTUS.

    Putin is a master blackmailer, from all accounts. There’s even a specific word in Russian for it, “kompromat”.

    I’m pretty sure he knows how to keep a secret, especially when he’s able to use that secret to destroy US democracy.

    Not joining in with the actual reality here, because i struggle telling jokes and plants from truth, so whatever, but :

    If you release your blackmail material, you no longer have any control over the person youre blackmailing.

    Why? Trump has been enabling Putin as long as he’s been in office.

  Nacent revelations allege that Donald sucked off “Bubba” (presumably Bill Clinton, former US president) and that Putin has pics.

  What…?

    Mark is Jeffrey Epstein’s brother. This is an email from Mark to Jeffrey about Trump blowing someone called “Bubba.” One of the nicknames Bill Clinton used was “Bubba.”

    What…?

    It has indeed been an amazing news day.

    My bingo card says Bubba was someone else, but not any less creepy and it being Clinton does make this the greatest timeline for now.

      FYI, Bubba is predominantly/originally an African American nickname, originating in creole/mixed black communities of Louisiana meaning Brother, though there was widespread “cultural appropriation” in white south.

        Having a great uncle Bubba myself whose real name was something word out of Dukes of Hazard, you’re definitely not wrong.

        I saw someone on here say that their theory is that bubba is a dog. 🤮

  So wouldn’t a picture of Trump with Monica Lewiński make more sense?

  source

  • unmagical@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I don’t know about “more.” It would still make sense, but Nancy’s head game was not an all together foreign concept.

    I’m guessing this picture was chosen for the “Game recognize Game” meme more because it’s easier to find than a photo of Trump with Monica.
