LMAO, you are always on the attack against the US. Russia good. USA bad. Maybe you should move to Russia. This Hall guy has been a Trump critic but it's just silly to say they didn't "break the rules". They broke the law (allegedly, LOL)!
Trump losing it tonight

She was so warmly regarded, pre Russia bots.
Oh snap! That’s straight up 25th amendment !
So which is it. No american helped Russia or Hillary helped russia?Oh snap! That’s straight up 25th amendment !
djohn’s derangement is exactly what Russia wanted. Mission accomplished
Trump tweeted that no American conspired with Russia. 9 hours later he said Hillary conspired with Russia. So which is it?
Damn, Darrin loves Trump.
It did cost some bucks but it was relatively cheap.
And if you were the guy that rallied the group in Florida with the following, I need to proofread your exhortations:
(underlined is mine)
"On August 20, we want to gather patriots on the start of Floridian towns and cities and march to unite America and support Donald Trump!
Florida is still a purple state and we need to appoint it red,”
streets instead of the start... wtf...?
appoint instead of just turn it red...?
Seriously, "we" can do better. , and I'm not good at this but I'm not gonna appoint a purple State red.
And yes this got out. It's that bad. Trump people were saying it was strange, but they rallied anyways comrade!
I don't think he can handle the pressure. His mind is about to crack.

They put out stuff on Trump as well. Basically lies. But much more Hillary stuff. The Russians were trying to sow general discord. They put a whole bunch of different type of race bating stuff.
But Putin is actually a fine person. He just disqualified his only real opponent from running in the next election. At least he did not kill or poison the guy.
I'm guessing Trump had a meltdown, Cwis defended him and Darrin pretended not to defend him.
As An American Tragedy Unfolds, Russian Agents Sow Discord Online
As the news broke of a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., on Wednesday, hundreds of Twitter accounts believed to be under Russian sway pivoted.
Many had been tweeting about places like Syria and Ukraine — countries where Russia is seeking to strengthen its influence.
Suddenly the accounts shifted to hashtags like #guncontrol, #guncontrolnow and #gunreformnow. Tweets mentioning Nikolas Cruz, the name of the shooting suspect, ed.
For Bret Schafer, an analyst with Hamilton 68, a site tracking Russian influence on Twitter, the pattern is becoming all too familiar.
Hamilton 68 follows 600 accounts run by the Russian government, Russian trolls, bots and individuals sympathetic to the Russian point of view.
Data collected by the site over the past few months suggests that Russian social media accounts are now regularly seizing on divisive or tragic news to rile up segments of American society.
"The Kremlin doesn't care about gun control in America, they have no skin in this game," Schafer says. Accordingly, some accounts tracked by Hamilton 68 spew extreme, pro-gun rhetoric. Others attack the National Rifle Association.
"By taking an extreme hyper-partisan position, it just serves to further rip us apart,"

Facebook Still Lying About Its Role in the 2016 Election
I flagged this on Twitter before President Trump started flogging it. But I’m not at all surprised that he did. Because, somewhat to my surprise,
it revealed that Facebook seems still to be committed to lying, albeit now more artfully, about its role in the 2016 election and more broadly as a channel of choice for propaganda and misinformation.
First, here’s the tweet I saw from Facebook’s VP of advertising: Rob Goldman …

Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal.There is, as they say, a lot to discuss here.
The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election.

Facebook was a bad actor by complicity in the entire 2016 election Russian interference campaign.
As I’ve noted in other posts, it’s an engine built to maximize engagement for ad sales and data collection which operates with no need to price its negative externalities. To pull that out of jargon into more concrete terms,
it’s like a factory that is highly profitable in large part because it can dump its toxic waste into the local river.
Facebook is designed to do stuff like this. So it’s not some shocking or unexpected occurrence that this happened.
For months,
Facebook’s executives, including its founder and CEO not only denied but mocked the idea that its platform had been used to distribute misinformation and propaganda during the 2016 campaign.
It came clean only under tremendous pressure, both legal pressure and the pressure of public opinion.
It’s laughable and frankly offensive that any executive from Facebook thinks he can lecture anyone on this topic.
Facebook had dirty hands in this whole drama and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to any discussion of its responsibility.
But note
Goldman’s effort to deemphasize the election
and argue that the real goal wasn’t electing Donald Trump. Presumably an ad executive wouldn’t feel like he had a particular dog in that fight either way. But it’s clearly a pretty key thing for him.
He even apes what amounts to quasi-Trumpian rhetoric in
saying the media distorts the story because the facts “don’t align with the main media narrative of Trump and the election.”
This is silly. Elections are a big deal. It’s hardly surprising that people would focus on the election, even though it’s continued since. What is this about exactly? Is Goldman some kind of hardcore Trumper?
The business model of Facebook is universal usage. It doesn’t target one demographic or regional or political audience. The whole point of Facebook is that everybody be on it. Much of its network value is bound up in that universality. Everyone’s on Facebook. Everyone has an account.
This business model has critical political implications.
Much like a television network, it can’t be perceived as taking sides in America’s increasingly polarized politics. That could cut it off from a big chunk of its potential audience.
This fact has shaped the behavior of all of the tech giants over the last decade but none more so than Facebook.
Nothing is moreq politically divisive today than the question of Russia’s role in the 2016 election. And yet Facebook is implicated in that story. It can’t avoid it, despite trying desperately to do so.
Simply put, if Facebook collectively says what is obvious: that Russia decided it wanted to elect Donald Trump President and used Facebook as one tool to do that, it becomes just another part of the ‘fake news’ universally derided by Trump and his supporters.
In other words, the story of Russia’s effort to elect Donald Trump is just ‘fake news’.Donald J. Trump

The Fake News Media never fails.
Hard to ignore this fact from the Vice President of Facebook Ads, Rob Goldman!
