Well...that was the biggest bunch of horse shit that I've wasted my time on reading...for quite a while.

Should have known...the Washington (com)Post.

And following the election the Russians trolled with anti-Trump talking points.

[a fool in paradise]

Aren’t they now saying that 126,000,000 were reached? Nearly half the US?

[Sacajaweau]

No one voted for Trump because of facebook, google, twitter.

They voted against the monster that Hillary is and all her lies and deviousness etc etc....period.

"....One of the theories to emerge from their post-mortem was that Russian operatives who were directed by the Kremlin to support Trump may have taken advantage of Facebook and other social media platforms to direct their messages to American voters in key demographic areas in order to increase enthusiasm for Trump and suppress support for Clinton. ...."

Lots of speculation and "theories", but no facts or evidence presented.

One of those liberal, "iffa, coulda' woulda', shoulda', but didn't" moments.

But they keep drilling deeper into the numbers with no thought whatsoever that they might have had just a really bad candidate. They can't seem to understand why their corrupt, lying crook didn't win.

Might have been because she was a corrupt, lying crook.

a ridiculous story...... brings into sharp focus the vengeful idiot that defrauded his way into our white house.

the weird thing that was once called president cant stand losing his third term

the barefaced vengeance against trump will not be tolerated

[Williams]

Total bullcrap. Obama “agonized” over how to best screw Trump with the fake dossier Hilary purchased from Russia.

[Williams]

Yeah you see I was going to vote for Hilary but a crappy Facebook ad made me stay home because of course that was the only source of information. And the Russians were brilliant they focused this in Wisconsin where the republican hadn’t won in 50 years. Gee how DID Wisconsin get do close?

[FlingWingFlyer]

More FAKE NEWS out of San Jose.

[pfflier]

All you have to do is look at the byline...San Jose Mercury News.

They hire reporters that aren't even qualified for mother jones or rolling stone.

[5th MEB]

The only thing you have to know; San Jose Mercury News.
ALL LIB/PROG/DEM BULLSH!T, ALL THE TIME.

The only thing Obama ever agonized over was whether to tell Reggie Love that he was cheating on him - and when his drug stash was running low...
