Here's the story currently making headlines in the mainstream media alleging Trump has deep ties with Russia and is being blackmailed by them.

Trouble is...

Oops.

What was that the mainstream media were saying about fake news again? !jk!

This has to be the single greatest troll of all time!

And Buzzfeed is going to be the next Gawker, brother!

The report says the settlement of Barvikha, outside Moscow, is “reserved for the residences of the top leadership and their close associates.” It is not reserved for anyone, and it is also populated by the very wealthy.

I think it goes without any requirement of proof that the "very wealthy" are also "close associates" of the top political class .......... and this refute is baseless!

Oh; and a mis-spelt company name isn't proof of any wrong doing either - perhaps more so the opposite.

So lets summarise the OP:

A self confessed liar (4Chan) says he should be believed this time and the OP says that's fine

Sometimes words fail me

Frankly, "mainstream media" are too lazy to check out their facts and print any old bollocks the press office of no 10 hand them.

And that attitude breeds problems
