No kidding, lets get real. FB is shoving WashCompost and CNN articles at me even though I requested they not do that?
To: DCBryan1
Someday they may actually provide evidence with all these accusations. In the mean time, they expect us to take them at their word; Even though they have been proven to be liars.

Translation:
The Democrats know they are going to be even more humiliated in the mid-terms than they were in 2016 and are already hard at work coming up with conspiracy theories.

No doubt 1790, 1794, 1798, up to 2018.
If there is an election, there are campaigns afoot to influence the outcome. This is the ultimate “duh” article.

political influence campaign
Is that anything like 24-7 Trump hate on every cable channel and every newspaper in the known zucking universe?
