Jesus tap dancing Christ for 10 months this all I have heard. What the frick does this actually mean?
I know I heard that they did NOT change or alter votes.
The only other thing I have heard is that the Russians had Facebook posts sent out on a somewhat grand scale aka a propoganda war.
Is that really it, fake memes and Facebook posts?
Please tell me there is more to it. Please oh please tell me there is more.
Even Fox doesn't get their guests to expound upon what was the "Russian interference".
frick I feel I'm in a damn nuthouse.
Just fricking tell me what this means instead of just saying the words!!!!

DNC got exposed for being scum, but we're not supposed to talk about the impact the reveals showed about them.

Hackers modified state election databases so if you were in dem area, your name on your id no longer matches spelling on database. Cant vote.
Updated database as if you already voted. Cant vote.
27 states.

It's part of the narrative. If the political parties would have been swapped it then the Democrats would be waving Russian flags.
Some leftists probably applaud Kim over threatening America with nuclear war. Just because Trump.
That's why I think we live in the most divisive time since 1860.

It means Russia actively attempted to influence our election by using things like fake news articles that were referenced by "legitimate" news sources and candidates. There were also numerous attempts to exploit various pieces of equipment and software associated with the election. None of this is new, which makes it so odd for continued denial.
There are multiple unclassified reports on this. Try reading those.

I just chimed in to say that I went to Covington once.
Place sucks.

It means they (allegedly) released communications of citizens involved in the private organization DNC that painted those individuals in a poor light. Some facebook propaganda too.
That is pretty much it. Russia ran some weak arse interference plays that could have been made by a bunch of college kids.
Mostly it is because it was Her turn and something about allowing racism and bigotry to rule once more over the USA.

At this point, all they have is a shite load of facebook memes.

We both know you are going to ignore or contort around whatever we say. Lets wait until the Republican administration appointed special investigatornl comes up with.

Democrats are just assigning the blame game. Did Russia try to hack the election and frick yo the results? Almost certainly. We do the same shite to them. Was it enough to blame it over Hillary Clinton being shittiest politician in human history? No.

Hacking into political organizations' emails and exposing them through propaganda channels.
Paying for ads on social media to circulate propaganda.

It means HRC lost. That's about all it means. You know what they say about excuses . . .

Yes.
Hillary spent $1.5 Billion including hundreds of millions in negative ads against Trump in battleground states but she lost because the Russians put up some fake news sites and had bots commenting on articles.
Russians played everyone honestly. No matter who won 1/2 the country was going to question the legitimacy of the election.
We fell for it hook, line and sinker. Our intelligence apparatus got played and they are still choking on the hook.

Facebook posts
Fake Twitter accounts
And fake news websites
All either telling the truth about crooked Hillary or making up stuff about her.
That is pretty much it.

Well that's the beauty of it. The definition of Russian interference and what it actually means has been left up to the individual to decide. You have those who demand to know the specifics that support such a claim and then you have those who are willing to take the most irrelevant info and hold it up as the smoking gun or missing piece of a much larger puzzle. Jeff Sessions at the same event as the fat Russian ambassador, Trump sells some real estate to a Russian x number of years ago, Russian bank renting space in Trump Tower?? I can keep going, but you can get the point. Whatever connection you make, it still doesn't answer the question of how the Russians interfered with the elections.
The only ways you can effect an election are to motivate more people to get out and vote, convince people to stay home or to physically or fraudulently alter vote totals by voting illegally, voting multiple times or any number of other illegal activities. Claiming that buying fake ads on Facebook somehow effected the election is stupid. The public gets bombarded for months at a time with campaign ads from candidates and pacts, often with out of context or blatantly false claims. We don't launch year long congressional investigations or appoint special counsels to look into them either.

Russia has been doing this for about 100 years, so, let's not have a cow over it.

It's nothing more than a case of "Swamp Convulsions" due to Trumps arse kicking of the "Swamps" candidate, if Hilldawg would've have won there's a +99.999999% chance the Russian shite would be 10,000 light years in the Enemedia's rear view mirror.

quote:It means the establishment doesn't want us to realize that they control the Presidential election (and probably always have) because if we find out we have no say in it, we won't continue to grease their wheels. So they put out this propaganda nonsense about Russians.

And per usual, we fall for it, and let it consume us while they continue to have their way.
That's just how the game is, and always has been, played.
