Want to bet federal tax dollars will pay “national security” employees as trolls glorifying King Obama on these pages.
Most of the conservative Facebook boards I’ve been on (including Free Republic) won’t fight the trolls.

IIRC they were both during the crawling over broken glass defense of Hitlery’s slut hubby.
Circa 1995-99. I seem to vaguely remember some form of Constitutional crisis in that time frame.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
My initial reply was only a seemingly modest, feeble response to alert our younger members that there have always been trolls amongst us.
They will expose themselves, & in surprisingly few posts.
