Can anyone say russian troll, propaganda and alternative facts? Will sig ever stop pushing Putins agenda. Yeah I know. Once a russian troll always a russian troll.
The obvious theme in these threads is that sig, jack, kiki and jsf, would have us believe America and it's allies, all our combined intelligence agencies, the FBI, our judicial system, the Justice Department, all our judges and DA's, the media in America and that of our allies are lying to us. That Alex Jones is right. That Qnon is right. That's just sick.
This thinking serves only those of us who deal with mental heath issues or see themselves as victims. Have you seen Trumps rallies? He plays the victim as he sells this shit. All the while telling his fellow victims, don't believe what you see and hear because it's all fake.
Let me say that again. Trump is telling his supports to ignore what they see and hear and only believe what he tells them. Him saying that is a provable fact. Sad, very sad.
By the way, JAYNEZTOWN shows up whenever comrade sig wants to go more negative and extreem. She doesn't want anyone to know it's her.

I called it. I also said there would be payback against Russia for fucking with us. And as those based in reality can see, it's been devastating. Russia is destroyed.

Russia used mainstream media to manipulate American voters
Russia’s disinformation campaign during the 2016 presidential election relied heavily on stories produced by major American news sources to shape the online political debate, according to a new analysis published Thursday.
The analysis by Columbia University social media researcher Jonathan Albright of more than 36,000 tweets sent by Russian accounts showed that obscure or foreign news sources played a comparatively minor role, suggesting that the discussion of “fake news” during the campaign has been somewhat miscast.
Albright’s research, which he said is the most extensive to date on the news links that Russians used to manipulate the American political conversation on Twitter, bolsters observations by other analysts. Clinton Watts, a former FBI agent and disinformation expert from the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, said that by linking to popular news sources, the Russians enhanced the credibility of their Twitter accounts, making it easier to manipulate audiences.
