    In the United States, the tweets released on Wednesday also confirmed that Russian accounts didn’t immediately gravitate toward Donald Trump, but initially cast a wider net — including backing Sen. Ted Cruz (R). The tweets were uniformly pro-Trump (and anti-Hillary Clinton) in the lead-up to the actual election, but appeared to revert to stoking animus on both sides of the political aisle after the election.

    Failed at my diet today because a damn Russian put a pack of snack crackers in my cart at the grocery store. Then the engine light came on in the car on the way home, and sure enough, they had clouded my mind and made me forget to change the oil. Now I have a weak, clippy cable signal because a Russian at the electronics store sold me the wrong cable splitter on purpose. Is there ANY limit to their nefarious meddling in U.S. life?

    There are plenty of shill posters on this forum, overwhelmingly employees of public unions, Soros entities, lobbies, media related. Their threads are numerous and obvious. I posted irrefutable proof of their activities across the net in a thread just yesterday on the topic of paid protesting/shilling.

    Where is the proof of any foreign/russian "bot spam" or shilling against the professional, numerous shills of the LW? NOWHERE. It doesn't exist. It's pure, good old fashioned LW projection. They are inveterate, noxious shills and prone to shilling, so claim it's some oogity boogity Russians to deflect. Fooling no one.

    10 million tweets coming from from Russian troll farms.

    Putin loves you

    And your "paid protester" bullshit wasn't even believed by your fellow Trumpers.

    I do not know. Maybe it is true, maybe not.

    If it is true, then I am even more proud of Russia.

    USSR defeated the Nazis and saved Humankind. Hopefully they can help USA against Democrats.

    Brings out another hilariously bent aspect of "muhrussia" the tweets from "Russian troll farms." OK then.

    Guess what, there ARE troll farms all over the world, Russia included. That's a fact, it's big business. It's all part and parcel of the multibillion dollar fairly recently emergent "clickbait" industry.

    You know all those "you'll never guess what happened after...." and "you won't believe what X looks like now..." and "If you ever see this run away..." and yes "XYZ politics politics bladebla is trying to steal your bladebla..."

    Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's big international business. Foreigners can be paid peanuts to tweet, post to social media, youtube comments, etc., to DRIVE TRAFFIC TO THE CLICKBAIT.

    It's just PRODUCT MARKETING.

    Yet the LIARS of the LW who know the truth of the clickbait industry (or the benighted ignorant ones who don't and are just parroting) try to recreate this obvious, generic E COMMERCE variant marketing into "stealing our elections."

    WHAT MORON who spends ANY time on the net could possibly buy into that TWISTED mischaracterization of the clickbait industry? Certainly no remotely tech savvy person could.

    Yet they repeat it over and over, and in that, alienate ANYONE who either uses and understands the net beyond google, or doesn't like being associated with stupid, unaware dishonest people.

    Just another example of how they lose and lose, will continue losing.

    Second sentence of the above quoted post is just another garden variety lie. They do lots of that too. Another reason they lose. People don't like being lied to or especially about.

    Yeah because, (para) "we call up the union and they send us people who will do whatever we want" could possibly be doctored or taken out of context.

    Better hope more people find your deflection more convincing than my facts or McCaskill is gone with the wind. Stay tuned.

    Russia used to be the scarey bogeyman. Commies. Enemies of America. Now, we have Americans defending and supporting Russia, or so it seems, because of their hatred for the left and love of Trump. How did we get here?

    Why is it the crime of the century when Russians try to influence elections by posting stuff on the interwebs but no big deal when commie-managed Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, et al, try to influence elections by purging and censoring right-wing voices?

    hmm?

    I say it's time to officially designate any and all interference in US elections, including political ads, espionage.

    If you are a foreign national, and you do any work or spend any money on anthing aimed at influence US electins, you are charged as a spy.

    Let's begin by arresting anybody outside America that post on political forum and tries to interfere in American elections

    maybe we should just turn off the internet six months before any elections to give Democrats a chance. you know, go back to letting only the commies at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC give us the skinny.


    (they'll just find something else to blame...GERRYMANDERING! DISENFRANCHISEMENT! ....)

    Maybe we make campaigns and PAC's fully disclose their donations.

    Maybe we pass a law requiring all political ads on sites like facebook prove that no foreigns money was used in it, and make it a crime to lie in political ads (Since most of the Russian backed ads are actually lies designed to trick voters)
