    I'm guessing it was CPUSA.

    LOL. Now I'm picturing a couple of Russians sitting around drinking vodka and laughing their asses off "can you believe they're actually wearing those things!!" :roflol:

    multi-billion dollar, win-at-all-cost elections. I think that could be helping to drive the massive uptick in propaganda, excuses and bold-faced lies.

    The American left didn't switch their votes, nobody ever accused them of that.
    They just didn't vote. Instead of Donnie losing the popular vote by
    three million, it would have been higher. Maybe much higher.

    This is the issue in the global web world. And it's not just Russia: Any country can promote its interests abroad. Which has made this Russian bot thing absolutely ridiculous. So, what are they going to do? Will the internet fundamentally evolve into countries? ISPs can only access websites under the domain of their country?(American, Russian, Chinese, etc.) Because that's REALLY the only way you're going to stop this.

    Under the ridiculous motions that the intelligence community/members of Congress would like us to believe: Because I supported Madam Marine Le Pen in the last French elections, am I an agent in French politics? I'd like to sincerely ask them the question.

    It's oh so interesting that those who promoted Globalism, are now distaught at the idea that people all across the world can view international politics. Many news sites even have a column DEVOTING itself to such. But now, I'm a foreign agent?

    You can't have it both ways. You can't be pro-Globalist, yet want to shut off the free internet.

    If they're sincere and want to fix the issue without promoting any sort of divisiveness, they would equip FB, Twitter, etc with a personal verification.(Some websites do this, Pornhub as an example.). If every social media outlet had a personal verification, then those with that verification are indeed who they are and those who aren't, well aren't.

    Coming from your side who cheerfully supported a rapist and sexual assaulter that's pretty funny.

    Mate. :D

    The internet that we know today, the WWW came into being back in 1995 with the Windows operating system.

    Back then the only people making money on the internet were the porn websites.

    By 1996 we were warned that nobody is in control of the internet. There are no regulations, anything goes.

    How many emails have you gotten over the past twenty years from some general in some shithole country like Nigeria informing you that there's a chest full of $500 million dollars that belongs to you ? Should we send in 1,200 U.S. Marines to take down this scammer or maybe use a Predator UAV armed with a Hellfire missile.

    Nobody is in control of the internet.

    The internet was created during the early 1970's by DARPA for the U.S. military in particular for the U.S. Air Force.
    FYI:
    (If there was never a Vietnam War, there would be no internet today.)
    Same can be said if there was never a Cold War there would be no internet today since the internet purpose was for a nuclear exchange between the USA and the USSR.

    Watched two old geezers on C-Span some years ago who were on the DARPA team that invented the internet. They were asked a question and in hindsight both said the U.S. military should have kept the internet classified and never allowed the private sector becoming involved in the internet.

    The internet has dumbed down society and billions of people in the world are less informed or misinformed today.

    Forget about Americans, the left is now only concerned about Russians and protecting illegals.

    Is that why the RUssian bots promoted pro-gun messages?

    Like patriotic constitutional Americans do? Sounds like Russian bots are more American than the left is.

    The scourge of useful idiocy seems to have been cultivated very effectively by the Russians and it appears to be the most favorite disease Trump fans love to be infected with.

    The Russians should advocate for Fisherguy remaining alive and well. You'd likely commit suicide within the hour.

    the "not my president", "boycott", "resist", "impeach", "collusion", "deplorables", "racists", "nazis" crowd accuses others of posting divisive lies and propaganda. Duh

    And Left Wing Bots are flooding Facebook with false gun stats. I’ve seen the Occupy Democrats LIE about school shootings this year almost 10 times posted and reposted.

    Russian trolls or Radical organizations based in the US, spreading lies, it’s all the same. Sniff out the BS and think for yourself.

    And this place has way more liberals bots. There were loads during the campaign that dissapeared after it was over.
