It’s no coincidence that Russia’s Information warfare is cranking into full gear again considering a bunch of Republican congressmen just went over to Russia to grovel at their feet on July the fucking 4th.

Putin is loving this timeline.

“We will help you attack and undermine America’s electoral system and neuter America’s intelligence and federal law enforcement agencies if you do everything you can to keep the Republicans in power Mr Putin.

In exchange for that favor we will remove the sanctions against your glorious oligarchy.”

Pro-Trump & Russian-Linked Twitter Accounts Are Posing As Ex-Democrats In New Astroturfed Movement
#WalkAway from this deceptive propaganda campaign

As pundits, politicians, and other Very Serious People spent last weekend admonishing “the left” for not being civil enough in their approach to pushing back against the Trump administration’s cruel policy of forcibly separating immigrant children from their parents, a peculiar and carefully crafted narrative began to take shape on social media. A closer look at this emerging narrative—a self-described “grassroots movement” of former Democrats fleeing the party—revealed an astroturfed campaign driven by pro-Trump Twitter users and amplified by automated and Russian-linked accounts.

The surge of tweets started on Saturday, June 23, when news broke that White House press secretary Sarah Sanders had been quietly asked to leave a restaurant in Lexington, VA, the night before. The social media campaign really took off the next day, after Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said in a speech that administration officials who support Trump’s policies should expect to face pushback when they go out in public.

Most of the tweets were strikingly similar, and the vast majority pushed a very familiar narrative. Using the hashtag #WalkAway and claiming to be former Democrats, social media users shared their stories of leaving the Democratic party after being turned off by the “hate” and “division” of “the left.”

Poor Siggy. Has to eat shit, yet again. LOL!

It's to make soft Democrats or any voter who is not committed think that there's a movement amongst democrats to "walk away." I suppose it could be aimed at weak republicans too. Of course it's bullish*t. The people who scream Fake News the most are the ones who use it the most.

What I don't know is if this latest reposting of *anti* stories / clutter is part of the chaos plan...? Do you know? I have a feeling it is, but here??? With 10 members? Hardly seems efficient, but the 'net is a crazy living organism - who knows.

SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

I suppose RUSSIA!! is responsible for Trump's increasing approval and the democrats' decreasing approval over all these months? Yanno, whether or not #WalkAway is genuine, democrats have been quietly walking away for a long time, starting with the 2016 election where Hillary saw poor numbers compared to Obama. And no amount of RUSSIA!!-blaming has changed the democrats' long-term declining fortunes, or is going to change the over-all trend in the future. Democrats need to look at what they are doing wrong. (Hint: it's the economy, stupid.)

CNN poll: Democrats' 2018 advantage is nearly gone Updated 4:33 PM ET, Wed May 9, 2018

The Democrats' advantage in the generic ballot dipped from 16 points in February to six points in March to just three points now. By 48% to 43%, registered voters say they would rather back a candidate who opposes Donald Trump than one who supports the President. That margin has narrowed from the 52% who opposed Trump to the 41% who supported him in January.

Here lies our fallen hero:
Her fall was not a small one.
She did but make her voting base,
A narrow but a tall one.

Oh look, it's REAVERFAN, carefully pretending that a vanishingly small number of Russia-sourced tweets has anything to do with 63 million Americans (the number of people who voted for Trump).

Keep grasping! Grasp! Damn your eyes! Proven wrong over and over. I guess you get paid to lie, so you have to.

Hillary got 3 million more votes than Blumpy. Or did you forget?

"Hillary got 3 million more votes than Trump". And Trump got 50% more states than Hillary.

the Clinton archipelago

That might be post of the year. Where did you find that?

I'm not sure about the naming of St. Louis Island. It might be St. Croix Island or Duluth Island.
Seems a little weird that Milwaukee is named Lake Island, folk might mistake it for Lake County IL.

How is it that second resides on Harris Island, but whines incessantly about all the Republicans who surround his existence?

To further help others with their geography trivia, I can point out that there is a Menominee, MI (southernmost tip of the UP) and Menomonie, WI and Menomonee Falls, WI - but the Menominee Island is located in Menominee County, which is the Indian Reservation.

Rounding out this area, to the east of Bayfield Island is Ashland, and to the west is Superior. Between Dane and Hennepin Islands are the Atolls of LaCrosse and Eau Claire. Superior, LaCrosse, and Eau Claire are State-funded University congregations.

Anyhow, Hilliary's 20 States and Trump's 30 States. Quite the turnaround after RINO Romney became the only Republican Nominee in history to capture less than 50% of the States.

And much weight is thrown to the term "former Democrats"
But almost all reasonable people are former Democrats, from the time they opened their eyes and woke up.
Very few can survive the Indoctrination of Public Schools without being Brainwashed into Liberals. Only exposure to the Real World and absence of Liberal Public School Gaslighting during this recovery period, as the FACTS Vaccine wears off, can force reasonable folk to gain their sense and cast off their cloak of Liberalism. This defines them as "former Democrats."

Psssst! Dood, I hate to inform you but ... roughly 63 million Americans voted for Trump (62,979,636).

And somehow, you manage to imply that all 63 million people are pro-Nazi extremists- or worse! - and deserve your collective aggression because ... yanno ... "fascism"!

Hey, despite the fact that you behave like a jerk, I don't think ALL "liberals" are just like you, and I sure don't justify rampaging against "liberals" because of YOUR behavior.

And a good thing, too! You give liberals a bad name!

So, hoping that this doesn't get lost in REAVERFAN's bullshit ...

Thanks for bringing this up.
What I've noticed over the past year is that (some) people ... such as JO, SHINY, SECOND, and WISHY .... people who are otherwise sensible, mostly good-hearted people have become progressively more and more unhinged in their thinking. (Not you and THUGR, tho. You two are trolls and have been trolls for as long as I can remember. You don't get any credit for being anything other than a troll, and you might even be sockpuppets. And RF is the latest addition to the "troll farm".)

It's at the point where people SERIOUSLY believe that I'm a "Russian troll" (!), despite the fact that I have an extremely long history of posting here .... loooong before RUSSIA!! and Trump ever became "a thing" .... and that my posts have been pretty consistent over the years: I was highly critical of GWB when he crossed my lines, and critical of Obama for the same reasons. My opinions aren't a secret; what I find frustrating is that people mis-state them so often!

But using common sense, do you really believe that Russia would waste their resources planting a mole here, on this no-account scifi fansite, waiting for the day (14 years later) when "their" candidate might have a shot at the Presidency in order to reach a couple dozen people?

It's gotten to the point (JO, ARE YOU READING THIS?) where JO apparently thinks that KIKI, SIX, JSF, and I are all here at the behest of the FSB! The same confounding questions: Why would a security agency waste four of their people on a website that reaches maybe two-dozen people?

Srsly.
If the FSB was that stupid, none of you should be worried about RUSSIA!! because RUSSIA!!! (or at least it's security agencies) would implode from gross mis-allocation of resources. The concept goes so much against common sense, it reveals a sense of paranoia ... which itself speaks to a unrealistic level of self-importance. AS IF you, or I, or this website rates that level of attention from .... anyone!

But it's gotten to the point where anyone who disagrees with the "liberal cabal" (PLEASE NOTE: Those who disagree with the liberal cabal make up roughly half of the voting population of America) must be

1) A Nazi/facist, and/or
2) A straight white male supremacist, and/or
3) A Russian troll.

So.
Half of our voting population is made up of Russian trolls and white male Nazis????

Anyone care to toss THAT against the wall of reality and see if it sticks?

*******

Moral indignation/ outrage has short-circuited several common-sense units, I think. But what are people so outraged about? It's been such a scattering of the important and the trivial, it's hard to make sense of THE thing (or maybe the several issues) that are driving people. And please, don't say "Trump". That's not a good answer.

What I would like to do, for anyone who cares to answer what, specifically, drives them nuts about Trump, isn't to argue but to ASK QUESTIONS. I would like to keep on asking questions until I feel that you, or I, have gotten to the heart of the problem.
