FIRST OF ALL< SECOND: YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND MUCH OF ANYTHING ON RT ABOUT EITHER HILLARY OR TRUMP, HAVE YOU? Yet despite the lack of evidence on your part, you just take the meme that you've been given and use it as if it were true. I could say quite a few negative things about that, but I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusions yourself. --- As far as Trump being bad for America: That's your OPINION, SECOND. You need to stop elevating your opinion to "universal truth". Because, in my opinion, Trump is an EXCELLENT President!

Hon, Putin has been saying the same thing for YEARS. If you had bothered to learn a few little things about Putin and Russia ... instead of voluntarily drilling propaganda into your head 24-7 ... you would know that this has been discussed many times by Putin himself. In fact, there was a rather famous speech where he said something like Should the Russian bear just go to the taiga and be alone? That will not be allowed to happen, because the Russian bear will be followed everywhere, and never let along in peace" And yanno what??? WITH NATO'S FORWARD PLACEMENTS ON RUSSIA'S BORDER, PUTIN HAS A POINT THERE! Please put you thinking cap on! WHO destabilized or destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and South Sudan? And who watched from the sidelines while all of this happened? WHO was invited into Syria? The USA? Turkey? ISIL? al Qaeda? Israel? Was it Russia that massed troops on our Canadian border, and placed missiles on the Mexican border and in Cuba? Is it Russia that has 1000+ military installations around the world? Is it Russia that spends more in weaponry than the next tend nations COMBINED? Instead of listening to propaganda, just familiarize yourself with a few salient FACTS before you start bloviating about who the "bad guy" is.

Significant difference: T brings information he believes to be true, while Russian trolls promote stories they know to be false. "Hillary will start WWIII," "Hillary has Parkinson's"or some brain ailment, "Pizza/Pedophile Gate" "Killed her competitors," etc. I'm sure there's a long list of the disinformation/fake news posted by Trolls for Trump online if you don't already have one.

THUGR, like all of the neocons and liberaloids here, have never been able to define what AMERICAN interests are. Because of that, they have never really been able to discern when our interests are actually being threatened and by whom. That's why they wind up hyperventilating about WMD and Assad and golf and all of the kinds of stupid shit that get thrown in front of them as giant distractions.

Even THUGR, as confused as he is, is more attuned to what's important. You have NEVER had a sense of perspective, and it doesn't look like you're going try developing one in the near future. FYI: Not being able to judge relative importance of things? It's called being irrational ... unable to ratio. And you, hon, are irrational.

Quote:Senate intelligence committee leaders have received reports
Quote: that Russia hired at least 1,000 trolls to spread fake news
Quote: stories to hurt Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton during the presidential election. “What really concerns me are reports there were upwards of 1,000 paid internet trolls
Quote:working out of a facility in Russia, in effect taking over a series of computers which are then called botnets
Quote: that can generate news down to specific areas,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence
Quote:Committee. He appeared Wednesday with GOP intel chair Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) at a press conference before committee hearings began. The revelations reflect the results of a Huffington Post investigation this month, which found Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) had faced a “tsunami” of misinformation during his presidential campaign.
Quote: Warner said in the latest case, the paid trolls apparently focused on swing states in an attempt to influence votes there — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — where people were “reading during the waning days of the election that “‘Clinton is sick,’ or ‘Clinton is taking money from whoever for some source’ … fake news.”
Quote: Warner said it’s crucial that investigators determine if voting results were actually affected. Each of the three states narrowly fell to Trump.
Quote: “An outside foreign adversary effectively sought to hijack the most critical democratic process, the election of a president, and in that process, decided to favor one candidate over another,” Warner said. Burr said that he and Warner were committed to getting to the bottom of Russian interference
Quote: in the election. He accused Russia of blatant attempts to also impact elections in Germany
Quote: and France. “We feel part of our responsibility is to educate
Quote: the rest of the world,” he said. By the end of the first day of hearings Thursday, no one had yet testified about the 1,000 trolls,
Quote: but the investigation is just beginning. Former FBI agent Clint Watts, now a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute,
Quote: testified that Russian attempts to influence the election started before the party nominees were chosen. Trump’s GOP presidential rival Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) appeared to be a particular target, he said.
Quote: “Through the end of 2015 and the start of 2016, the Russian-influenced system began to push themes and messages seeking to influence the result of the presidential election,” Watts said. “Russian overt media outlets and covert trolls sought to sideline opponents on both sides of the political spectrum with adverse views towards the Kremlin,” he added.
Quote: “They were in full swing during both the Republican and Democratic primary season, and may have helped sink the hopes of candidates more hostile to Russian interests long before the field narrowed.”
Quote:Watts said more details about the
Quote: targeting of Rubio would be included in his written report to the committee. He also testified
Quote: that Trump helped spread fake news by embracing the stories
Quote: that served the Russian agenda against his opponents. Watts told the committee to “follow the dead bodies” to learn more, referring to several Russians connected to Kremlin fake news who have died in the past few months.
Quote: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday dismissed allegations of Kremlin interference in the U.S. elections as “fictional, illusory, provocations and lies.”
