    I'd put a bottle of 18 year old scotch on that, my friend. :)

    Somebody has to be indicted. IMO.

    I am a Bourbon guy and I will take that bet...Scotch for you or Bourbon for me. At least $80 bottle...Let’s make the deadline the start of the Democratic Convention in Milwaukee next year. If you win I will even fly there and bring you some rotten California oranges to throw at the candidates....Hopfully the Pirates will be in town to play the Brew Crew. I know some of the kids on the Brewers.

    You got it. Marking this thread for future. :)

    I'll even let you pick the bottle you want, between $80-$120.

    Taking in a Brewer game together would be ideal. :)

    The existence of the Russian social media division campaign has been well known for some time. Indeed it was reported on even before the first fake news websites started flooding right wing forums and places like Twitter and 4chan, and funneled onto social media and into the right trash blogs and AM talk radio screamers. The noise machine, already primed with years of open race baiting, spread the poison on autopilot.

    Your “translation” is pathetic. You can’t get much weaker, than putting words in other people’s mouths.

    I didn't see one Russian social media post during the election, and don't know anyone who did and especially nobody who changed their vote from Hillary to Trump because of a Russian bot.

    Maybe you could show us one?

    Congrats, that is great to hear. Looking forward to meeting you someday. After this bet. :)

    Win or lose, it will be fun.

    How do you know?

    You never check anything. And this forum was flooded with them. My FB feed was flooded with them from my Trump supporter friends, too.

    And you’ve already played that card, and I buried you in links, which, predictably you didn’t read.

    Most of the Trumpsters here gleefully repeated posts from fake Russians sites designed to look like real news. And when it was pointed out to them that the sites they were posting weren’t from the sources they had been mislead into believing, they defended the lie.

    Trump does that to his base every day. And when a Trump lies to a Trumpster, the response is always “ thank you sir, may I have another!

    Care to provide some data/source to back up your 95% claim above? I suspect the source will be your ass.

    It's faster just to say no.
