Russia organized 2 sides of a Texas protest and encouraged 'both sides to battle in the streets'


-Russian trolls organized a protest and a counterprotest in the same place at the same time in May 2016, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Richard Burr, said on Wednesday.
-The revelation shows how far Russia was willing to go to foment unrest and division in the US in the months leading up to the election.
-Burr said that organizing and promoting these protests cost Russia "about $200."

Russia is giving us a blueprint for how to bring America back together. Surely we can spend $200 inviting two groups to a unite rally or something.

Zuckerberg and the lawyers for Twitter, Google, etc. sound EXACTLY like the NRA and tobacco companies.

Exclusive: Carter Page testifies he told Sessions about Russia trip

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/11/02/politics/carter-page-testimony-russia-trip/index.html


For the record, I am very suspicious of what Page says. My gut tells me he is trying to muddy the waters of this investigation.

I think Journalist should get off twitter, or only be allowed to tweet information that is coming out on their edited publication if they are using the journalism credentials to bolster credibility. All other tweets should be from private unverified (no little blue check) accounts that carry the same weight as my tweets. It will be easier to identify vetted information from some's unverified, potentially bullshit rumors. We need some sort of up date to the professional code of ethics that accounts for social media platforms; something of a Hippocratic oath for professional journalists, written by the largest professional journalism society.

Totally disagree. People just need to learn that the blue check means nothing when it comes to credibility. It just means that the person is who they say there are.

"Earlier this year this individual dismissed any suggestion that there was any coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives.

Now, days after former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates were indicted, the source acknowledged to CBS News something he'd been reluctant to admit in the past: "I do believe the Russians interfered or tried to interfere," he said. But he pointed to others associated with the campaign, "I don't know what they were doing" and "whatever those people did, that's on them."

LOL. This guy.
