haha, well they have a poll and are voting on it like they've heard it. If fake, what a bunch of weirdos.
Edit: Interestingly they are being such arrogant dicks about it. They seem irritated that people are asking to share. So definitely a weird dynamic over there. They either have it and are being big jerks about it, or are collectively trolling for days on end to bring in traffic, which means they still suck.

Really hope it isn't a hoax, but considering the forum it's supposedly happening at, I'd say it's more likely hoax than legit.
Which forum are people discussing this?
I always found the "hoarder" thing difficult to believe. Sure a couple of people maybe, but it's unlikely that any group of people actually have this and it's not getting out to the rest of us.

There is a poster on mygnr claiming that "The General" has been leaked as well.
Who knows?
#674 Re: Guns N' Roses » atlas shrugged leaked? » 472 weeks ago
Yeah I am searching all over for this. Someone hook me up if possible
I did a quick search and didn't find much. I figured if it's true, I'll get it eventually.

Another win for the working class. /s
Senate kills rule that made it easier to sue banks
Vice President Mike Pence cast the tie-breaking vote Tuesday night to repeal a rule that made it easier for Americans to sue their banks and credit card companies.
Senators passed the measure by a vote of 51-50, handing Wall Street its first major win since President Donald Trump took office in January.
Two Republican senators, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Kennedy of Louisiana, sided with Democrats in opposition to the resolution.
Wiping out the rule would affect tens of millions of Americans who often don't know they are covered by an arbitration clause when they sign up for a credit card, checking account or prepaid card.
Many companies tuck arbitration clauses into contracts as a way to resolve disputes outside the court system, making it harder for an individual to bring a case against a bank or credit card company.
"Tonight's vote is a giant setback for every consumer in this country," Richard Cordray, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said in a statement. "Wall Street won and ordinary people lost."
Republicans have balked at plans by the consumer agency to bar companies from using arbitration clauses to stop consumers from bringing class-action suits. They've argued the rule issued in July was an egregious overstep Cordray, an Obama appointee.
Senate banking committee Chairman Mike Crapo blamed the agency for failing to re-examine the rule and develop alternatives.
"The CFPB chose an all-or-nothing approach, leaving Congress no choice but to overturn it," Crapo said in a statement.
The party-line vote is one of the last steps before the CFPB rule can be wiped out by Trump. The House voted 231-190 in July to overturn the rule. The measure now goes to the President's desk for his signature.

Who is saying this? My GNR has a thread, but it was locked down pending verification of said leaks.
Somebody hook me up if true.

Over one year in this investigation, still no evidence of collusion. Maybe another 3 years they will get it.

This is nothing more than an offensive move to make the results of Mueller's investigation become questionable.
The Uranium story was discredited years ago. Nothing will come of it. Moderate conservatives are blasting Fox over this right now. Mueller's investigation is not "coming back to Hillary." The dossier was paid for by both political parties, and then the FBI. This is old news, reported by CNN (fake!) months ago. Oddly, the Republicans only seem to be concerned about when the Dems paid for it. So much in fact, they left that part out of their latest fundraising email entirely.
In addition, the dossier is one tiny fragment of many moving parts. It isn't the catalyst for Mueller's investigation into Trump and friends. That said, the FBI has said many parts of it have been proven to be true thus far.
More than anything, what it seems like to me, is that Trump and his allies are shitting their pants and are making a pre-emptive strike with all this. Niger, Manafort etc. It's what Trump does best, along with his pals at Fox.
The right wing freak out/celebrating only shows their complete lack of reading comprehension IMO.

Also, I'd bet ppl sorta knew it was opp research all along, yet there's making a stink out of it now to deflect Niger investigations & coverage from the media. You don't find the timing at all coincidental?
It was just reported last night that Manafort is now under investigation for money laundering. What a coincidence.

Don’t you want the truth? Time for a special council to look into this. Also Mueller was the head of the FBI then and Rod Rosenstien was also a US attorney then. The gag order on the witness is about to be lifted. Let’s here them out.
Of course I want the truth. Investigate away. But the notion that Hillary is going to get bogged down in this is pretty desperate.
We have been investing collusion for 9 months and nothing has come up yet. NOTHING.
And you guys KEEP saying this. Yes there is nothing...because they are still investigating it.
