How Russian cyberwar elected Trump

“Fake News now goes international”

Israel also has a far left element in their country as do we. This is from their far left.

[DaxtonBrown]

Anyone who reads the tweets and facebook posts of the Russians knows they didn’t influence squat. If a Rooskie tweeted “lock her up”, how is that any different than what millions were tweeting?

[richardtavor]

Not so. The lines in Israel are about equally divided as they are here. That chasm that we are seeing in America is a rift that goes all the way around the world. Like the US, in Israel, unfortunately, the media is controlled by liberals. However, so much less than it was even five years ago, and especially since Netanyahu was elected.

THAT’S YOUR AUNT?!

[KDF48]

The language factor. Planned Parenthood, killing pre-born babies. Progressive education, destroying history. Mexican round steak, baloney. Russian hacking, left-wing funding.

[gspurlock]

So Russian social media trolls have more influence with the U.S. electorate than the Democratic Party and the Mainstream Media combined??? If that’s not an admission of abject incompetence, I don’t know what is.

[Eleutheria5]

Ooops. Wrong thread. Sorry.

However, carefully gathered evidence shows … credible analysts of campaigns and voting patterns

Credible analysis would have to come from an organization that correctly predicted Trump to win. The only poll that I remember that consistently showed Trump in the lead was, incredibly, from the L.A. Times.

They have to go back at this crap for the mid term because they have nothing else and the think this is a WINNER ,LOL

[samtheman]

Get back to me when Trump takes $150 million form Putin like Hillary and Billi Bob did.

yup

[philman_36]

I smell fear.

[Eleutheria5]

So far I got blahblahblah tweets were designed to help Trump. Blahblahblah. Hillary deleted e-mails that she deemed were “personal”. Of course. She said so. What other reasons would she have for deleting e-mails. Blahblahblah Hillary is wonderful and Trump kept taking her out of context. Blahblahblah Comey is making odd statements.

This is how I summarize the parts that I actually heard, about 10%.

[exDemMom]

I read somewhere that internet bots created to post false messages on various message boards (e.g. the comment section after a news article) promoted Hillary about 60% of the time.

Of course, after Russia benefitted so greatly from Hillary’s pay-to-play schemes and uranium one, there is no way a rational person would conclude that Russia preferred Trump.

GARBAGE!

But IDIOT Democrats really believe it, that is why there are soooooo many Democrats running for POTUS in 2020 lol

IDIOTS don't realize TRUMP is UNBEATABLE!

[humblegunner]

I don’t see that source on the excerpt list.

She can’t figure out why the Russians would side with Trump? To make life difficult for Hillary. Once Trump was elected, they turned on him for the same reason. Occam’s razor, for a close shave every time.

[Chewbarkah]

I couldn’t fight my way through the pop-ups and bs. Who do they claim is “one of America’s most credible election analysts”? Is it ... Marvin Hamlisch?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It starts with a lie so you can just discount everything else that follows.

“Yeah, because Russia preferred President Trump over President Uranium One.”

---

Not just President Uranium One, but the person who would have continued to over-regulate our energy industry and would NEVER have bolstered our defenses. Those last 2 things are the opposite of what Trump promises and, just as importantly, the opposite of what President Reagan DID (the energy bit in conjunction with the Saudis) to bankrupt the USSR. Does anyone think that perhaps, just perhaps, old Vlad might just remember how his beloved USSR was unceremoniously shitcanned, errrr, tossed onto the trash heap of History by Reagan? I’m going with “he remembers, every single day, multiple times” - and that he is incredibly cognizant of the fact that Russia is exactly as dependent on sales of oil and natural gas to generate foreign currency earnings now as the USSR was 35 years ago.

So, if Vladimir Putin is both a patriot and intelligent (and I am quite sure that no thinking person believes otherwise), then why on God’s green Earth would he have EVER wanted Trump to be President...esp. vs. someone whom he could easily blackmail with that juicy, thick Uranium One file that undoubtedly sits in the safe in his office?

The whole “The Russians tilted the election to Trump” idea doesn’t even come close to passing the smell test, unless you’re hoping for the smell of freshly-killed skunk.

[euram]

more BS. I’ve seen some of those Russian ads, and they were pretty pathetic. They also ran ads supporting Black Lies Matter, Sanders, Clinton. A large number of their ads came out long before Trump even entered the race, starting as early as 2014.
