There was a guy we knew in college (he became kind of legendary within our circle) who was kind of psychologically messed up in ways we couldn’t grasp even now. At one point he ended up living in an off-campus apartment where he had his own bedroom, but his roommates said they never saw him use the bathroom. They found out he had been urinating in bottles and they were all around his room.
The weirdest part was that between freshman year and senior year his hair had turned an odd shade of yellow that didn’t look natural, so a lot of people wondered if that’s what the urine was for.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here, and predict that this is in fact fake news and Trump knows that, because his team put it out there in the first place, in an effort to draw all attention away from Obama’s farewell speech in Chicago tonight because he knows we’re more attracted to the lurid than the serious.
ETA: Nevermind. I didn’t realize this revelation was part of the other document. Interesting that people aren’t so much bothered by the russian angle as they are about the pee angle.
So some dudes posted on Nov. 1 about a story that had been out there for at least five months earlier. They claim they were dishonest and made up a story and are willing to lie to anyone gullible enough to believe them… This means something, but probably not what you think.
It must be galling to Max that BoingBoing’s newest member (“82nd Airborne Vet and Political Truth Seeker”) got here before him with the compelling evidence that this is all a hoax. Oh well, at least he’s in distinguished company.
That link is everywhere, but I don’t see anything that dates the posts any earlier than 11/1, which is after the Mother Jones article and well after when Ken Vogel says they investigated the story.
Yeah. I see that now.
