If Putin's yacht provides an opportunity to play golf, that's a not too far fetched scenario. A month without golf would kill him.fecking hell

The Sumatran Candidate
It was just on the news.
National security advisor's statement to be provided any minute. CNN is standing by (certainly others too).
For all their awful, dreadful clickbait, they've apparently actually got some decent journalism too.
Washington Post, sir. They have a notch for one President they took down a few decades ago...
The top story of Faux News is about, you guessed it... Hillary Clinton.
No mention that I can see about Trump's stupidity.
WaPo with the original article, BuzzFeed sources verified it and The Times seem to trust it enough to run an article on it.
Is that new? I don't think I registered or had ID.
I'm interested but no expert. I'll give it a go soon.
They're alright actually. CNN has to raid their staff when they decided to try journalism.
Great reminder about the Israel story. I think they're very likely to be partner source, given their reputation in the "business".
And interestingly, my experience as a Brazilian is given me some precedents for what's currently going on in the US. Because I've pretty much said the same you did a few years ago, just applied to a different geography: Brazil copied the US constitution in spirit, but it wasn't written to handle a corrupt congress that will go along with anything the executive says.
They do?
I'll give it a read then.
I'm more going from what I've heard others say admittedly, could be inaccurate.
Greg Miller, one of the WaPo guys who broke the story, is on CNN for those interested.
They broke the Steele dossier, no?
McMaster says story is false, re-iterating what he had released. Greg Miller on CNN insisting on the story being true because what McMaster debunked isn't what WaPo claimed.
McMaster as now come out refuting the story. Hope Washington Post as got this right or this could finish them
I'm turning my phone off tomorrow night at 9pm. I've got an AI exam at 9.30am and if all hell breaks loose in this thread again I'm screwed :lol It was hard enough last Wednesday with a 2pm exam after the Comey sacking

As far as I understood back then, they posted something as the truth before any of the claims they made stories based of was confirmed.
That, and their sjw and feminist agenda all over social media makes me skeptical about them from the start.
Mind, I'm not a anti-sjw or anti-feminist, but the ways it's gotten to (in general, including buzzfeed) has become more akin to propaganda in my eyes.
But as others pointed out, this wasn't done by buzzfeed, so I'll look for the proper article and read it.
He refutes something the WaPo article doesn't claim.

Do you have a link, mate? (to wapo article)
Yeah they're fast picking up a reputation for investigative journalism. They have a large scope and seemingly a good buget too which certainly helps. They were co-founded by the WaPo owner IIRC which likely gives access to a strong network of independent journalists.
Which says a lot. What is he refuting?
Edit - just seen:
Also, worth following Jaffy if you don't already, his finger is on the pulse and he minimises the bold claims and sensationalism.
Thank you!

Bombshell.
He should be impeached and tried for treason.
Come On Republicans. Do your job....
yeah right.

Biggest issue is that they monetize every single element of their site to the Nth degree and then the good gets tarnished with the bad.
If they wanted to be taken seriously they need a change of tact. I'd tolerate a full screen splash ad if great investigative content and balanced reporting laid behind it. As it stands, their hit rate for content I want is around the 0.01% mark.
It remains a blocked site in my browser. Every now and then I'll take a look but I never see anything I can't get elsewhere in a better format.
Dershowitz on CNN said legally there's nothing that can be done about him.
Michelle Kolinski reporting from the State Department. She spoke to some officials, some of them senior officials. They were surprised not just by the story as such but that their boss had put out a public statement that they didn't know about, calling this odd.
State dept didnt even know a statement was released. This is so tasty.
CNN had to tell them

As McCain and other have said, it's his prerogative as the commander in chief to share intel with whomever he wants. If the President discusses it with someone he is essentially declassifying it.
They need to take a step back and see how absolutely mental it to think shrugging your shoulders and saying "well yeah it's up to him I guess" is. The damage this could cause to intelligence relationships around the world and not just whoever the victims of this leaking is. Now he's confirmed he can't be trusted, their task of acquiring more intelligence has just got 10 fold harder.
"The security of the american people"
Well,according to the article he is trying to debunk, it wasn't the security of the people, but the honor-system of intelligence sharing that was broken.
"The story that came out tonight, as reported, is false."
So it could be correct if they worded it differently?
"at no time was intelligence sources or methods discussed"
Again, according to the article it was sharing of information that wasn't the states to share that was the issue. That's neither a source or a method, but it's still a breach of international handling of intelligence, if what Washington Post says is right (haven't done any research on that). So we're back at him trying to debunk something that wasn't stated, as I think I saw someone else in here say.
