Only from the Democrats soliciting foreign powers to interfere. Thankfully, it wasn't enough for Hillary to win. Hillary had the full weight of the Administration, the FBI spying for her, a fake dossier and she rigged the primary to bump Bernie out and she still lost. If foreign interference was really as an issue, she would have won. Almost all of it was used to her benefit.
Zero impact would have made it quite a waste of money on Russia's part and quite a waste for these Epoch Media Group characters. I'm sure they're seeing results, or they wouldn't bother. It wouldn't be worth the expense and risk otherwise.
I don't consider Facebook a news source at all. I guess many other do though. I mean, any news read on Facebook has to be second hand information from a traditional media source or just gossip, right? I'm not a FB fan so correct me if I'm wrong.
See, unlike your accusation, Trump actually has solicited foreign powers to interfere. He does so unapologetically, because that's how he rolls. It's also silly to claim that the FBI was somehow spying for her, since none of their activities affected Trump's campaign in any way, and they sure didn't help Hillary (it's not in the FBI's purview to share what they learn in an investigation with people who are not on a need-to-know basis, yaknow). Neither was the dossier in any way "fake," as some of it has been proven true and the rest remains unproven, but not disproven. And finally, there was no foreign interference on Hillary's behalf, whereas we know there was and continues to be quite a lot on Trump's behalf.

My accusations are based on facts, which you just choose to ignore because it doesn't fit neatly into your "Orange Man Bad" box. The ensuing criminal investigation into the Russian Hoax and the interference in the 2016 election will bear this out. We already know the DNC used GB, AUS and the Russians to cook up a fake dossier and we know that elements in the CIA and FBI were used to get FISA warrants based on the dossier and based on outright lies from elements in the FBI. The maleficence took place at the top executive level and not buried seven layers deep like James Comey likes to lie about. The Obama Administration actively sought out foreign governments to work with to harm President Trump while he was campaigning and afterwards when he was President and it was clear there was no need to keep spying on him. The fact that the Russians took out ads on Facebook and in other places had almost zero affect on the populace. In fact, at this very moment the Democrats are actively doing the bidding of Putin by sowing distrust and discord in our government with fake Russian collusion and the Ukraine hoax, which is designed to protect Hunter and Joe Biden. real crimes were committed there, but not by Trump. Trump and his Administration discovered them and are now actively investigating it.
Where did you get your crystal ball and how much did it cost? What we know about the dossier is that it was oppo research begun by Republicans, then continued by Democrats, and that it was put together by Christopher Steele. No one went to the Russians seeking a "fake dossier" to harm Dirty Donald, and unlike Dirty Donald, they didn't have their campaign chairman sharing polling data with agents working for a foreign power that was using its intelligence assets to influence our election.
It's called paying attention to facts. Are you actually disputing that elements of the Obama Administration did not use foreign powers to help them with the election? Of course the dossier was used to harm President Trump. It was used to get the FISA warrants to spy on him and it was used to sow distrust and doubt into his Administration after he won the election. Even after he won, they renewed the FISA warrants to continue to spy on him. This is why there is a criminal investigation into what happened and how the hoax got started.
wow I took the more lazy route and just stopped logging in only a couple times a year lol. I do use the marketplace thing it isn't bad at all. good alternative to craigslist.
Actually I agree in general I personally never really saw the whole joy in social media. With that said I will admit that there's a boatload of people that don't see the joy in Forum posting either. so there's that. It is certainly helpful if you think about the original intended purpose which was to keep track of family and friends. But somewhere along that line friends just became anybody who clicked, bots included. Then it all became a numbers game just too bizarre for me. Twitter is just a troll farm from my perspective and chock full of bots as well. To each their own.
LW Complex complaining about political shilling. And just like that the MOTHER of ALL LW Irony Universes BANGS into existence!
When I found out that employers were using social media to scrutinize job candidates of political leanings I decided to erase myself as well as I could. It was kind of creepy anyway.
too late... everything you've ever posted/searched is on someones server somewhere... the internet never forgets...
And then Guam will tip over, the ice caps will melt and we’ll be growing cranberries on the North Pole!
I don't know. There's a lot of Trump supporters (and Trump himself) who believe some really stupid stuff, like birtherism, crowdstrike, #clintonbodycount, #pizzagate, and Qanon. Seems those people would be "ripe for the plucking" when it comes to disinformation campaigns. You don't believe in any of that nonsense, of course. Right?
lets pretend your assessment is true... ummm, those trumpettes (as you call em) would have voted trump without those ads can you provide any evidence that registered, long time democrats changed their lil minds and voted for trump because of those fake ads??? by evidence i mean actual hard copy proof & not just some hack spouting off that they were duped...
