It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who’s best for America and who’s best for Russia.

Who can be blackmailed, Hillary or Trump?

Which one of them can be bribed to betray America?

Which of them spent their honeymoon in Moscow?

(The answer to all three starts with H.)

So what? Is an ad or political essay written by a Russian any more effective than one written by an American?

The Russians spend 200k on some websites and our politicians spend billions of dollars. Only an idiot like Jimmy “the Weasel” Comey would think this matters.

No, that’s not true.

American patriots are against communism, and they’re against any form
of corrupt totalitarian regime that replaces a failed communist one.

The bigots are mostly among the progressives.

Been basically an internet news junkie since well before the last election, political news that is. Know pretty much every right wing site on the web, never heard of Newsroom for American and European Based Citizens (NAEBC)

All of those two-faced russophobia lowlifes portray themselves as patriots. John McCain, Liz Cheney, John Bolton,Linda Graham......

They are against corrupt totalitarian regimes? Lol. It reminds me the corrupted totalitarian regimes in Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, China..... that America used to support

“The website predominantly focused on U.S. politics and current events, republishing articles from conservative media and paying real Americans to write about politically-sensitive issues. A network of accounts posing as editors and journalists then promoted the articles on social media sites favoured by right-wing users.”

I fail to see the problem here. Did they post lies? Did they bribe anyone? As far as I’m concerned they are just doing the job our journalists (so called) refuse to do.

Lol. Majority of America’s allies wanted Hillary to win.
Bigoted russophobia conservatives desperately try to participate in the anti-Russia contest organised by liberals (FBI is the judge).
