Oh, you po witto babeeeeees! It would be impossible to "minimize" what Russia did since it's so incredibly trivial. What Hillary and her goons did, on the other hand, is criminal and even treasonous. Staging a coup against a lawfully elected president and using the government to conduct espionage on the opposition candidate is about as close to treason as you can get.never said they were not. i said their impact in changing an election is minimal at best. i've also said if we're mad they are jacking with our elections, why are we not mad at ourselves for jacking with other countries? i don't do that "i can do this but you can't" routine. we can and do mess with other countries and their politics daily.can you list some writers/journalists you do like?CNN - fake news.
You post a bogus site and then call CNN fake. Seriously dude you need to get some correct info because you are not getting it.. Go to CBS or NBC or whatever..but clearly you need some real news
CNN, CBS, NBC, FOX - most major networks are hurting for ratings and money so they make up things to get people to watch them. it's like a soap opera to be honest where the smallest of details is always made life and death and you need to keep watching us so we can tell you what to be scared of or mad at today. and people fall for it.
they fall for the russian trolling. was the election a part of it? yep. but it was so much more than that. have you SEEN the facebook ads you continue to bring up? i've posted that article a few times and you usually get mad, cuss me out and tell me how stupid i am and move on because i'm not giving into your posts.
they're trolling us to get us to do exactly what we're doing and you can't see that. you also can't see the best way to beat THEM is to quit beating the shit out of each other.
what is your long term goal in these discussions? get someone to change their mind? i've not seen that happen in decades of these online feuds. or at least VERY seldom. and have you ever looked at a piece of news and CHANGED your mind on something or did you call it fake? or if you like the meme, do you use it to show why you're right?
and given so few people actually change their minds in these discussions regardless of the "source" - what good did their trolling *really do* in the end other than exactly what trolling does?
divide us.
like i said - all of us need to grow up and get over this.
Well at least you admit that they are trolling us.. big step
never a peep from us.
someone does it to us we're prom queen upset at a broken nail and heads must roll.
not very realistic in a holistic picture of things.
the problem is we believe what we want to believe and use these 'trollings" as evidence for how we feel. then we get mad at people who hack us, whether internal or russian and we get so focused on that we lose sight of what that hack revealed. while i'm embarrassed at how badly we're being trolled, i'm ashamed of what we as a country are so willing to do for "power" illustrated by what was found on the DNC server. in another time, heads would roll for what they did.
today we just don't give a damn as we're all hyped up about things that in the overall scheme of things simply don't matter.
are the russians trolling us? YES. how do we beat that? the way you beat ANY troll, verify sources and don't engage in stupid. but we're so quick to call someone names these days we don't even care many times that we're being MORE stupid than the people we yell at. only that we yelled and got some short term sense of worth out of getting the better of someone in an online disagreement.
is that your long term goal in these discussions? telling people how stupid they are?
i WANT to hear your input. i WANT to hear oldladys input. i WANT to hear slades input. i want to hear input from all sides WITHOUT making it personal if i disagree.
part 2 is the killer these days and we know it but like many things we know are wrong, we simply don't care because telling someone how stupid they are is more important than fixing things.
The democrats have been called snowflakes, sore losers , fake news, less trustworthy than Putin, Trump haters, by Trump and his followers for over a year.
He is still lying minimizing what Russia did..Maybe our leader should acknowledge what Putin did and call it what it is.. A internet terrorist attack because it is still going on..
Instead Trump lies and points the fingers and blaming everyone else..
Trump is a troll insulting everyone all over twitter..
