Locker Room Talk

So: First, CNN reports that intelligence chiefs presented Trump with reports that the Russian government may have tried to compromise him. And then Buzzfeed published the entire dossier full of, shall we say, puerile allegations, which we won't summarize here because this is a family aggregation post.
