Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

It is illegal. Or do you not giving a ? Unless it was Hillary.

So is crossing the border, for hundreds of thousands, or do you not give a , unless it was Trump?

**DarrinS** · 10-03-2017

It is illegal with coordination from a campaign. It is even illegal without coordination. Again are you okay with Russia targeting US citizens?

I'm not okay with it, but I would wager that their ads we're dwarfed in comparison to what team Hillary put out there.

I know your hobby is a coping mechanism, but it's kinda sad, tbh. She lost against "grab her by the pussy". That's a seriously weak candidate.

That's an assumption that gets you across the "doesn't ing matter" bridge.

Then the righteous indignation as a cherry on top.

Hillary dd a number on you folks.

Facebook and Twitter will become more transparent with where and how ads are being served, and advertisers will have to be more transparent as well. The great majority of the United States population will continue to spend a ton of time on Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp. Twitter will continue to fade until Trump is no longer President, after which it will fall into complete irrelevance.

That's what I would hope an investigation would determine either way.

Prognostication from wishful thinking. I want it to be true so it will be.

So Trump will be the reason that truth in media gets off the ground.

You are okay with it. You just said their ads dwarfed even though they targeted Americans . They couldn't have dwarfed that much since there were more than 3000 ads alone on FB and are under FBI, DOJ, and congressional investigations. Do you want the ads released?

But you asserted it as truth already. It's like saying "it's worth investigating how a murder occurred in your hotel room" when there's no evidence a murder occurred. Where's the evidence that public opinion was swayed?

Nope, from expertise.

I don't know what this means but Hillary sure did a number on you.

And you think, even with a foreign agent disclosure to all of their registered users, that will really hurt FB or Twitter? I know Twitter is your best bet here, but you're severely underestimating the power of our vain society. There isn't a ship for people to hop onto like Facebook was when MySpace started tanking.

**DarrinS** · 10-03-2017

I would love nothing more than getting rid of ALL click-baity fake ads that you see on almost every web page these days. But, I expect that they don't want to give up the ad revenue.

DMC doesn't want to find out the results. Like a Ho on Maury who don't know who the daddy is.

I'm content to let the investigation determine that.

Damn he shook.

On top of that, MySpace wasn't savvy enough to buy Facebook before it passed them.

Facebook doesn't make that mistake.

This is what I don't get. There is obviously enough evidence to merit this investigation, so why all the pushback? If there is a reason other than partisan politics, let me know.

Indeed. Although MySpace was a much more enjoyable platform.

What pushback? Just lols at all the "it's happening" tweets.
