    You are aware I can’t openly do that. That’s a forum violation. I can say that they almost never post anywhere other then the latest news section.

    Then stop it! It's been over three years since the discovery and you're saying your party hasn't made any progress to protect themselves from this stuff?

    Typical DNC, waiting on someone else to fix their problems!

    I can name several myself based on a fair number of indicators

    Massive Twitter data release sheds light on Russia’s Trump strategy

    https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/17/twitter-foreign-influence-operations-910005

    Twitter on Wednesday released a trove of 10 million tweets it says represents the full scope of foreign influence operations on the platform dating back nearly a decade — including Russia's consistent efforts to disparage Hillary Clinton and an initially erratic approach to Donald Trump that eventually settled on a concerted pro-Trump message during the 2016 campaign.

    The huge data cache consists of tweets from some 3,400 accounts tied to the Kremlin troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency and 770 others linked to Iran. It also includes some 2 million GIFs, videos and other pieces of visual content. Twitter said it's making the information available to "enable independent academic research and investigation," according to a company blog post.

    The Russian tweets around the 2016 presidential election showed distinct patterns when it came to Clinton and Trump, according to researchers at the nonpartisan Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which has been scouring the data since late last week.
    ............................................................................................................................................................................
    The minions keep trying to dismiss Russia's impact (like Don tells them to do) even as more evidence of their influence emerges.

    Not only that but the whole premise is bogus. They are lumping in all clickbait related material dishonestly. Hey it's Twitter after all, known for censoring nonleft accounts while allowing the most vile hatred and racism imaginable, so long as it's from a LW perspective.

    Not fooling anyone.

    Well, the only collusion with Russians seems to be with Hillary and the DNC. Anything else is just plain nonsense. Paul Revere, you're not with your "Russians are coming" obsession. All that Mueller money wasted because of Democrat lies and hissy fits. I think Revenge is a dish best served cold.

    If you don’t have the ability to make an informed decision on who and what to vote for, and some tweets are going to confuse the hell out of you, do all of humanity a favor and stay the hell out of the voting booth. Cheese and f’n rice, I can’t believe how far we have fallen as a civilization. Done in by some tweets?
    Hope Siri doesn’t kick the bucket, you wouldn’t be able to find your toilet.

    So we have a release of 10,000,000 tweets that according to the left, allowed Donald Trump to win the Presidency.

    Sounds massive.

    I wonder if anyone who buys this "influence" meme has asked themselves how many tweets occur each day?

    Based on estimates, over 260,000,000,000, 260 BILLION, have been sent so far this year. Over 440,000,000 just today.

    Allow me to correct this kind of dumb remark:

    The Russian propaganda campaign actually occurred across several social media platforms, internet message boards, and entire websites bought and built by them. They not only used posted content, but also paid advertising.

    There, hopefully this prevents this uninformed error by you in the future.

    LOL

    So let's see. You're hoping I will be influenced by claiming I'm dumb and uninformed.....

    You guys need to get back to class and learn how to debate. It might also have a positive impact on reading perception.

    Not really, it was a factual statement about your remark. I was clearly uninformed and did not account for information widely available to anyone. Unless you would prefer that I label you "an informed liar". I can, if that suits you more.

    So now, in addition to calling me dumb and uninformed, you're calling me a liar?

    Dang kid, you rock!

    No, actually, the choices were to call your remark uninformed, or to say you were informed regarding the remark, and therefore just lied. Not both, and not really the choices you listed.

    That sounds so "informed and high minded"...

    Unfortunately that is not the reality of the country.

    We elected a Reality TV star President I remind you

    No need to apologize. Feelings not hurt at all. Glad to provide an outlet for your kind of responses.

    That's an adorable bit of overwrought polemicism, but, in reality, it was our intelligence agencies and law enforcement that sounded the alarms and continue to sound the alarms. And Trump's bizarre, unethical, and dishonest behavior eventually forced republicans to request another republican to appoint a republican special counsel. And this republican special counsel is going to put the foreign agent Trump appointed to head our national security(!) in jail for lying about his collusion with the Russian government.

    Think of the depth of that scandal alone. Fascinating.
