they ain't killing children in a planned parenthood factory. Who's doing that?Hilarious!You're angry because she spent more.Specifically, why is it OK for Obama to travel to England and ACTIVELY CAMPAIGN AGAINST BREXIT....but THE USA says that NO FOREIGN INFLUENCES ARE EVER ALLOWED TO AFFECT ANY OF OUR ELECTIONS?
We have quite a double standard, huh?
Is that American Exceptionalism that Obama was displaying in England?
Don't worry. Putin "won". He got his boy Trump elected.
Imagine how much the children could have been helped with that $1.2 billion.
What about the children?!
Republicans caring about children.
As if.
So funny. Ha Ha Ha Ha ................

Russian-funded covert propaganda posts on Facebook were likely seen by a minimum of 23 million people and might have reached as many as 70 million, according to analysis by an expert on the social-media giant’s complex advertising systems. That means up to 28 percent of American adults were swept in by the campaign.
On Wednesday, Facebook’s chief security officer, Alex Stamos, revealed that Russia had “likely” used 470 fake accounts to buy about $100,000 worth of advertising promoting “divisive social and political messages” to Americans. It was Facebook’s first public acknowledgment of the role it unwittingly played in the Kremlin’s “active measures” campaign. Stamos’ statement was also conspicuous by what it omitted: Facebook has refused to release the ads. More significant, it hasn’t said what kind of reach Russia attained with its ad buy.
There may be a reason for that. On the surface, $100,000 is small change in contemporary national politics, and 3,000 ads sounds like a drop in the pond when Facebook boasts 2 billion monthly users. But it turns out $100,000 on Facebook can go a surprisingly long way, if it’s used right. On average, Facebook ads run about $6 for 1,000 impressions. By that number, the Kremlin’s $100,000 buy would get its ads seen nearly 17 million times.
But that average hides a lot of complexity, and the actual rate can range from $1 to $100 for 1,000 impressions on an ad with pinpoint targeting. Virality matters, too. Ads that get more shares, likes, and comments are far cheaper than boring ads that nobody likes, and ads that send users to Facebook posts instead of third-party websites enjoy an additional price break. Finally, there are network effects, which can vastly multiply the number of users who see a promoted Facebook post.
“If they got a super high engagement rate, they’re not only going to get the traffic that you get from paying, but you get this viral factor that can multiply it,” said Dennis Yu, CTO and co-founder of BlitzMetrics, an ad agency that deals exclusively with Facebook ads. “You buy one impression and you get 20 additional impressions.”
Politically charged posts—especially salacious ones—draw high engagement, said Yu. “With certain topics it’s kind of hard to lose. ‘Hillary Clinton got caught hiding something!’ Well, OK. I already believe she hides stuff.” Yu said he suspects Russia maximized its impact with a basic strategy practiced by Facebook marketers: Seed a new Facebook post with a tiny buy as low as $1 a day, then watch Facebook’s ad console and see if the post catches fire. If it doesn’t, write it off and start on the next post. But if people begin engaging with the post in a serious way, you go all in.
GoDaddy and the Golden State Warriors. “Then you’re going to boost the heck out of that sucker. You’re going to put $10,000 on it. And Facebook’s algorithm already knows who to show it to, like the friends of the people who already liked it… It’s a risk-free lottery. The minimum cost is $1 per day.”

You are just figuring that out? The only country to ever use a nuke is also the country that thinks it has the right to tell countries which ones are allowed to have them and which are not.

Perception. It’s USUALLY enough to sink a public servant.
Hillary's $1.2 billion couldn't defeat $100,000 in Facebook ads?
How did we expect her to influence foreign leaders when she can't even influence US voters with $1.2 billion more than Russia did with $100,000 in Facebook ads in the summer of 2016?
Good Lord

Let's add another fact or two to your post:
Here's How Much of His Own Money Donald Trump Spent on His Campaign
"U.S. President-elect Donald Trump pumped a total of $66 million of his own money into his campaign – far from the $100 million he frequently boasted he was going to spend, according to campaign finance disclosures filed on Thursday night."
You're angry because she spent more.Specifically, why is it OK for Obama to travel to England and ACTIVELY CAMPAIGN AGAINST BREXIT....but THE USA says that NO FOREIGN INFLUENCES ARE EVER ALLOWED TO AFFECT ANY OF OUR ELECTIONS?
