You guys got my Mom thinking we're in the middle of the 2nd Cold War or something. what the hell is wrong with you people?


Oh come on, it's Epic Troll Wars!
All I need is some popcorn.

Second, there will never be a re-uniting of Crimea with Ukraine. There might be a half-measure of an independent Crimea. They have now seceded twice. If they returned, isn't it going to be an issue that Crime has a massive Russian military base?

Si Shen, while Syria and Ukraine are debatable, Georgia was an intervention to stop a genocide. Destabilizing democracies is our job

I know, but my mom doesn't even watch cable news or hang out on the internet all day long and she started talking to me about it yesterday. She wasn't hysterical or anything, but she actually used the term "2nd cold war".

There has been zero proof of anything nefarious going on with Russia, collaboration or otherwise, and average citizens that don't get involved with internet flame wars are actually starting to parrot some of this crap.

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.

So, it's talking about primaries.
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.”
This is EXTREMELY CONFUSED reporting. First it generally mentions a 'tsunami' of gossip about Sanders. Then it brings up Clinton examples.

Warner said it’s crucial that investigators determine if voting results were actually affected. Each of the three states narrowly fell to Trump.
So, it's NOT about primaries?

“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

What's your point 1kiki? I mean, this is what's being discussed and all you are doing is saying it's false. Nothing new with that.

The noose is tightening around Russias' neck. Exciting isn't it...

I guess this means you guys are big fans of Comey again? It's hard to keep up with your on-again-off-again relationship.

That's the difference between books and newspapers T. 1984 is still just as culturally relevant today as it was almost 70 years ago.

You guys can't decide from week to week whether Comey is a good guy or a bad guy.
