Russian bots are always ready to sow dissent using social media. They are already at work sabotaging the efforts of the high school students from Parkland, Florida for their stand on gun control. It happened during the 2016 election cycle, is happening now and will happen before and after the 2018 election. http://thehill.com/policy/technology/374594-russian-bots-turn-to-gun-control-after-florida-high-school-shooting-report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get your meaning. I found it interesting that social media used as a weapon. I stay of politics as a rule, voted both sides over the years.

Is he legitimate? It's impossible to know who was swayed by his Russian supporters but we know some were and as a result Trump treats Putin and Russia unlike any other world leader, country.

stanscript Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just a recap of the last week or so, in no particular order (it’s hard to keep up) 1. Reported that as of November, 130 in White House didn’t have permanent security clearances 2. Rick Gates to plead guilty 3. Ron Porter quits after photo of wife with black eye published 4. Stormy Daniels claims she had an affair with Donald Trump shortly after Barron Trump born. 5. Scott Pruitt “justifies” travelling first-class because he was afraid other passengers would yell at him. 6. 17 students killed in Florida high school massacre. Trump blames just about everybody but Putin and the NRA 7. Mueller adds to charges against Manafort 8. Trump lawyer claims he paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 and says Trump didn’t reimburse him. 9. Alex Van der Zwaan to plead guilty (today) 10. Mueller indicts 13 Russians and 3 Russian organizations 11. Playmate Karen McDougal receives $150,000 from Rupert Murdoch owned National Enquirer to “catch and kill” story of another Trump affair. 12. Mueller reported investigating Kushner 13. David Sorenson, Trump speechwriter, resigns amid reports of spousal abuse 14. Trump plays golf while massacred high school students are being buried 40 miles away. I’m sure I left out a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYHSFAN33 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just for clarification here, we are talking about words on the internet, correct? Words. On. The. Internet. This is the big “interference” I’ve been hearing about for over a calendar year? Quite a let down if I say so myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words on the internet is far tamer than the tactics the USA have used for decades while tampering into international elections. As long as the internet is globalized and accessible throughout the world this is the reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
