Perhaps the American people will get lucky?

LIEberals have been trying, with some success, to remake America in their own image throughout my lifetime (I’ll be 76 next month), and WE must put a stop to their evil machinations!

A wake-up call? Have the LIEberals finally overplayed their hand?

This Real American hopes so!

Rush had an interesting theory today: he said that whenever liberals want to put pressure on advertisers, they generate thousands (millions?) of posts on social media from fake (robot) accounts that are all controlled by a few dozen people. The advertisers decide to bail in order to save themselves any trouble or expense, and the liberals’ target goes under.

If this is possible now, why doesn’t some smart conservative multimillionaire hire a few tech geniuses and pay them substantially to track down and identify the people behind the bot accounts?

Title of his next book: Killing Mr. Big Mouthed Bill. Haven’t watched the punk for 10 years at least, maybe more. Got to the point I could not stand the punk. Good bye, so long, don’t let the door hit your homo loving ass on the way out!!! As for Flux News, I have not watched it for years now either. It got just as liberal as the rest of them, so I get my news from conservative sites on the web now. Bye Bill, CNN probably has an offer coming soon. You and homo Cooper will hit it off well.

I sure am glad that President Trump is OUR CINC!

He’ll most assuredly wage war on the LIEberal establishment!

And, HE WILL WIN!

That’s a rather polite way of stating “the pooch is screwed,” given that so many FReepers “don’t get it..

I don’t think the pooch is screwed, yet.

Getting close.

Counting on Real Americans waking up in time!

You are most welcome.

Movie? That is a GREAT idea!

Unfortunately, I don’t run in those circles, but I’ll certainly keep the idea in mind.

One never knows when something or somebody interesting might happen along!

This is an attack on free speech. FOX will burn.

Sad day for Fox. I’ve always found Mr. O’Reilly to be entertaining. Silly me for thinking that was his job.

“If this is possible now, why doesn’t some smart conservative multimillionaire hire a few tech geniuses and pay them substantially to track down and identify the people behind the bot accounts?”

We would need access to the advertisers and social media account’s logs, to do proper investigation.
Even then, if the bots are even half way competent way they are no doubt using stolen system to make it look like its coming from thousands of places.

Geting access requires a legal reason, and most social media sites wont let you in without a good one. Simply trying to prove leftist manipulation is not likely to fly.

High tech tools for hacking today are basically given away and incorporate some of the most advanced and difficult to track down Technics a kid on a couch with relatively little experience can carry out attacks even the FBI can’t easily track down with all their legal access.

Your better off going to theses companies and pointing out the conspiracy while making the much more meaningful threat of conservative boycott.

Geting involved in politics is a very bad business choice for any business that wants to sell things to customers. No matter what they do they alienate half their customer base and lose money.

You simply need to point this out to them in a creditable way, that their conservative customers will be driven away by their seeming to take sides against them.
If they want to be a real legitimate business they need to stay neutral and not let leftist thugs shake them down.

To do this conservatives need an information network to empower our own people to go and make this case That we can hurt their business just as much as the hard left can.
