This thread makes me happy.

The media NEVER does a full on expose on what RUSSIAN interference means and there’s a reason for that

Because all it is boils down to is talking shite using the latest technology available.

They want the conservatives in charge so that America’s military and economy is as strong as possible, also so that Russia is held accountable... lol

I mean think about it, how fricking stupid would the Russians have to be to want conservatives in power?

Evidently they release things about Dems that we aren’t supposed to know.

are we that stupid as a society?


IMO, it's not a sign of society being stupid, it's a sign of how desperate the left is to say Trump isn't legitimate.

As Sidicous said, something like $100,000 of posts/ads. IIRC, the time period included after the election! Compared to what the candidates spend, how can $100,000 sway anything?

At the time, I searched for examples of these ads that were supposed to sway the election. But it was said that something like 95% didn't even mention a candidate or a policy. Just generic stuff to cause "disruption" in the USA. But I had trouble finding any examples at all.

I finally found one, all it did was encourage people to attend some anti-immigration rally. It had something like 32 people interested, 5 people saying they would attend, and the event never took place. Sway an election, wait, it gets better! This cancelled rally was to take place in Utah, a red state. No way their $100,000 could have an impact.

This is dems and MSM babbling.

I really don't care if an outside country wants to run ads, or prefers a candidate. How are you going to really control this anyhow, they could operate through a local citizen? It's up to voters to inform themselves. Next step, the government protects from all unapproved sources, and tells us who to vote for. Heck, skip the middleman, just let them vote for themselves!

Probably less than Clinton and Hussein along with help from dirty trickster James Carville have done to interfere in the Israeli elections to keep Netanyahu out of office.

It’s really the saddest thing we’ve ever heard from our intelligence community.

I get it if they hack a server and post plans or inside info etc, but social media trends etc would indicate that Americans are so freakin stupid they vote based on social media trolls

They don't have to do a damn thing. Their puppets (Democrats and media) will do all the work for them.

If Russia ACTUALLY colluded with the democrats and they won we wouldn't be hearing sh*t about Russia. This selective faux outrage is laughable.

They probably do what every other country does. The fact is, nobody is holding people at gun point and making them vote for one candidate or another. The media and DC use this a an excuse because they nominate shitty candidates or when they lose. That’s it
