Pizza in some of those emails refers to...pizza. And a pizza theme fundraiser hosted by the Podesta brothers who are...Italian-American. And they invited a well-know DC pizza chef to be there from his restaurant: Comet.

Was there some code for some of them? Yes, but I think they meant people they wanted to meet with. Just like the Secret Service gives codenames to the POTUS etc.
The one that crossed my mind was that Pizza might refer to Nancy Pelosi!


As someone who has been on the end of spearfishing attacks, I can totally see how someone could be fooled. I never click on links in emails. I always hover over them. And if the link is obscured, I go to the website.

I am very upset about Comet and I live nearby. I can imagine a whacko trying to blow up the entire block now, God forbid.

Pretty sure the Podestas are Greek American. Guessing Alefantis is also Greek American.

I can't believe people are trying to act like handkerchiefs with pizza-related maps on them are a real thing. I wholly agree that there is no pedophilia ring here, but let's be real. It's this level of denial that contributes to the suspicions of the conspiracy theorists.

Level of denial of WHAT for god's sake? Shut UP. Posters who want to believe in nefarious conspiracies and promulgate them while, as an aside, saying sure this bullshit, hate-fueled, mental illness-fueled story is proooooobably fake are part of the problem. YOU are part of the problem, last poster. There is no pizza code. There is no 'degenerate art' (<--- look it up.) type kiddie-trading ring. Just shut up you stupid goddamned monster, and stop giving any form of plausibility to this.

You sound unhinged. Consider whether it's healthy for you to continue following this thread.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have serious problems by insisting in any level of conspiracy, so do get lost, 9:11.

You don't like being called out for being a patsy for not being incredibly clear that fomenting conspiracy, something untowards **is** happening type discussion on any level about this is incredibly dishonest and irresponsible. You really should talk to someone about that.

Your post is bordering on incomprehensible, PP. Maybe step away from the keyboard, take some deep breaths, and try again later.

A handkerchief map does not a global pedophilia ring make.

(On another note, I can't believe I just wrote that sentence. The world has gone mad.)

Sarah Palin?!!! Welcome to our humble message board. As always, I enjoyed the word salad.

Some of you are such terrible idiots, and doubtlessly are terrible people. Part of the problem in the conversations here is that some of you are willfully so dumb.

The idea that either Podesta is suspect because of his taste in art is straight out of the Weimar Germany playbook, and it's at the base of a lot of this. You see stuff you don't understand, and it scares you, so you have to demonize them and pretend to wholly disavow insane conspiracy theories. To take a line Time's cover with PEOTUS, we are likely to remain the 'divided' states of America because of this manner of thought.

At least in name. He is likely given the Manfort status whereby he still is getting paid and has influence.

These are deplorables.

Trump's slogan might as well have been 'Making America Dumb Again'.

Are the people on here who are so upset about "fake news" willing to admit that the Michael Brown shooting was "fake news". You know, "hands up, don't shoot"!

That was fake news that led to looting and serious destruction. Some may say that it has led to cops being shot. Wish all the liberals were as upset about that fake news.

Not a great deflection - my 7YO does a better job of it.

I am a Conservative and you need to GTFOH with this crap. Fake news on BOTH sides is bad because there are people out here dumb enough to act on it - ON BOTH SIDES. It is not a damn Conservative/Liberal issue. And we are stuck on stupid to make everything a jab at each other. Based on this crap, this idiot walked into a family restaurant with a weapon trying to investigate rumors he read on the Internet. Liberals and Conservatives should be pissed and concerned about this.
