      With the news that Trump's Pecker was sitting on a whole safe full of kompromat can we dispense with the fiction that only Russians blackmail people?https://twitter.com/mbieseck/status/1032751294988120064 …

      Stop saying “Kompromat” like you’re standing in Moscow. It’s weird.

      I assumed everyone who read the tweet would recognize it as an ironic jab at those who think Americans don't do this. I see not everyone understood that.

          Did you at least get that my use of "Trump's Pecker" was also a linguistic play?

          Not really, I know. I just thought the use of one linguistic play would signal another might be present.

          Also critically important that you note first two references to Hillary Kompromat were affirmatively NOT stolen emails, but intercepts from her travels.

          No. It was direct citation from a document. You've heard of citing actual sources, haven't you?

          Sometimes foreign words concisely express an idea that requires entire phrases or sentences in English. Like schadenfreude, I think kompromat falls into that category.

          I think the Russians have moved so far into peoples heads rent free that they even have you using their terminology. It’s hysterical.

          Hope you dont eat blinis or borscht or dring vodka then. Dont ever refer to drug or economic czars to refer to special government appointees. Dont watch beluga whales. Or wear sable fur, a balaclava or a babushka.
