If Trump hits Assad will Putin make the golden shower video public?

I think he won't do anything but talk tough.

1. Well it would be about time. Long overdue. But if a republican was hiding money in a russian bank

under a fake name to avoid paying united states taxes on it to the Irs and it was a large sum, then putin might make nice and not release the video or documents that he might have on trump.

4. Probably more than one Republican hiding money-

Is there speculation that Trump is doing that?

2. Putin wanted Rump to lift all sanctions on Russia

and Putin retaliated by gassing babies.

3. I imagine Congress will say no, like they did to Obama

when he asked them if they would fund troops in Syria.

5. Too much emphasis on that video, really.

Here's the thing: If it were made available, it couldn't be shown on any of the major network news shows, so they'd just have to talk about it. Of course, it would be all over the Internet, but how many people would really bother to view it, and what would they think if they did?

Now, it's a little kinky, to be sure, but it doesn't rise to the level of, say, sexual abuse of a child, when it comes to disastrous things to be exposed about a public figure. Since most people don't find that particular kink especially erotic or disgusting, really, the impact of the release of such a video would be relatively low.

As a blackmail threat or kompromat, then, it's rather a weak one.

If it were released, most people would go, "Ugh," and move on with their day. It would be something that would get Trump out of office, frankly, because nobody got harmed by it. It's awkward, of course, but not a career killer.

That's why I've never understood why people are so focused on that particular thing about Trump.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see it as the enormous deal some are making it out to be.

6. You are utterly and totally wrong

If such a thing exists it would sink Trump more than anything else. Why? Because it isn't complicated, it can't be defended and it makes Trump look like a weirdo. The appeal of the strongman to authoritarians is that he is strong. Once his people see him as a deviant he is "weak" and he's done.

7. There are worse videos than the pee pee one

Either Trump with a way under aged girl(s) or with a boy.

What people don't get is that most prostitutes the world over are children. So even if it's just the pee pee video, there's a good chance the women in it are young teens, 13-15 years old.
