    You guys do realize that Alexa is just the Amazon's A9 (Google equivalent) internet search engine reading out the results of an internet search right??? I mean are you guys that stupid? This is the same response you'd get, and maybe filtering out the most partisan responses, than you'd get if you Google'd "Why should I vote for Kamala Harris" and the top responses for that search would be pulling directly from the DNC, or Kamala's campaign.

    I know we all are supposed to be nice to each other here, and I have so many MAGA people in my life that I love dearly but....

    .... Good lord people on the right are really really dumb. I mean like completely brain dead morons. Idiocracy was simply a documentary that Mike Judge got from a time traveler. We are truly headed into some really stupid times with alot of really stupid people in this country.

    (Luckily for you though, I don't think you are stupid. Just extremely disingenuous, and a pro level Troll).

    Thank you. I feel absolved in a general sense. But because my post was accurate, I needed no absolution for it.

    Yes, that's because the Russian have been in this business for about a hundred years, and Trump (along with many of today’s right-wingers) was the perfect candidate for them to invest in. That's the reality.

    What you’re missing, and what should be on most Americans' minds, is...

    Who else are the Russians paying off? Tenet Media got caught, but you can’t tell me the Russians aren’t going after many, many more channels (including extreme left-wing groups, since division is a major goal of theirs — but you’re probably too blinded to see it). $10M is a drop in the bucket for them. They’re probably spending hundreds of millions, if not more.

    FBI Director Wray, a Republican nominated by Trump, is part of the team handling this case and is working to counter interference from foreign actors in our election.

    ATW’s default response to anything he doesn’t like is exactly that—labeling it as woke or leftist. It’s a robotic, automated response instead of facing reality.

    A Russian Bot Farm Used AI to Lie to Americans


    From spreading allegations that CIA created AIDS in the 1980s and amplifying divisions over race and religion in U.S. society in 2016 to blasting anti-Ukraine messages globally today,
    Russia constantly finds new ways to push narratives to weaken the West.

    AI has now provided the capability to vastly scale up those propaganda efforts. Throughout this disinformation campaign, Russia employed AI to create over 1,000 fake American profiles on social media,
    then used those profiles to spread anti-Ukraine, pro-Russian narratives in the United States. In short, Russia has coopted AI to lie.​


    CircleTheDrain is a Russian bot​

    Donald and family are the PERFECT useful idiots, they only care about money and everything they do is an a transactional vacuum. If someone only cares about money, they are more susceptible to bribes, whether it be money, power or a hooker who will pee on you. trump is so vain he thinks Putin and him are friends, when in reality he truly is Russia's useful idiot and since he surrounds himself with crooks his team is in the same boat

    Thank you, including sewing discord on college campuses, etc, etc, etc. We get Israel/Palestine on full blast on social media, and some of that is because it gets clicks and gets people angry for ad revenue, but some accounts that fan these flames have got to be from groups who would cheer on any civil strife here.

    @Amiga got it right.

    Russia doesn't care much about D or R.

    They care about ****ing with our social unity and belief in democracy.

    Which means siding with MAGA over D.

    It's not that complicated.

    The Russian election interference is very similar to the last few bouts Russian election interference, which consisted of Russian election interference.

    The operative news isn't Russian election interference.

    The operative news isn't that right wing dopes fall for Russian election interference ops in droves.

    The operative news in 2016 was that the lineal descendants of the conservative movement, the former cold war retrenchment party (and also, weirdo pretend German korean miami crypto bros or whatever it is that you are claiming nowl) - were wholly migrating to choosing Russia's tinpot dictator's dull, banal form of genocidal kleptocracy as an animating spirit of thier mirthless online existences and openly soliciting their succor.

    The other bit of news was that the MSM (especially the NYT) were more or less was complicit in burying this story and letting them get away with it. It was and is infuriating. shout out by the way to @Bandwagoner and @glynch - true to the Putinist cause all the way back in 2016 e regardless of TIm Pool or whatever any dumb influencer needs them to say.

    That's not - currently - today - NEWS.

    That's stuff that already happened - the divergence of your (or Tim Pool's or Donald Trump's) interests from that of America's is well chronicled and frankly pretty goddamned boring.

    What's news - or at least was news yesterday, is these idiots getting douched so publicly and looking so dumb in a way that even they can't play off and poast through without pausing a bit.

    It was AMUSING. It's amusing that the "Free thinkers" in residence from the Intellectual Dark Web and the Heterodoxic Avengers - are literally getting paid to produce pro-Russia Slop, that is then lovingly devoured and re-upped by @AroundTheWorld @Commodore @tinman - this part is amusing and has remained amusing 24 hours later.

    No - but it is another example of Russian interference in US elections and politics. It also shows another connection between right wing political talking points and Russia.

    I don't think that it is some deep and dark conspiracy, but I believe that Putin wants to cause rifts in the US society, influence elections and I also believe for a number of reasons, Republicans support the positions that benefit Russia. Do Republicans hold these positions because of Russia? No, but there is clearly a crossover.

    I guess they have to come up with some form of diversion when something like this comes up.

    I wish they didn't have double down on destroying the checks and balances that keeps this country somewhat free - but ****ers are going to ****.
