Official Russian Election Interference Thread

The sad thing is Trump and his followers probably believe that the Russians believe the messages they are pushing instead of manipulating Americans for the benefit of Russia.

The sad thing is you think any of that shit made one iota of difference
 
It didn’t happen.

Well, it didn’t happen, but we weren’t involved.

Well, we were involved, but it wasn’t a crime.

Maybe it was a crime, but it didn’t matter.

Two days before election day, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway tweeted a post by @Ten_GOP regarding Hillary Clinton’s email.

“Mother of jailed sailor: ‘Hold Hillary to same standards as my son on Classified info’ #hillarysemail #WeinerGate” the tweet reads.

Three weeks before the election, Brad Parscale, the Trump campaign’s digital director, retweeted a separate post from @Ten_GOP.

Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn retweeted the Russian-backed troll account at least once. His son, Michael Flynn Jr., retweeted the account 34 times before it was removed from Twitter in August for its ties to Russian propaganda.

The account notably pushed for Flynn’s reappointment as Trump’s national security adviser, a job Flynn lost after press revelations that he’d lied about his telephone discussions with the Russian ambassador after the election hacks. It also repeatedly pushed Breitbart-backed talking points, including a fake news story about a gang rape in Twin Falls, Idaho, that merited dozens of articles from Breitbart News.

Far right news sites The Gateway Pundit and InfoWars quoted the account in articles several times.

Fox News cited @Ten_GOP as its sole example of a “Trump fan” in an article titled “Trump fans call for Kellogg’s boycott after brand pulls Breitbart ads” last December.

That TENGOP account was everywhere during the election. I would not be surprised if some on here referenced it in posts.

Now the question remains, did kellyanne, pascale, Flynn et al amplify its messages knowing it was a Russian troll account or were they simply duped into believing it was a legitimate conservative account?

This also confirms exactly what Clint Watts said earlier this year about why Russian active measures works/worked so well...you literally have the president and his team spreading the misinformation and thus validating it.

Russian Twitter account pretending to be Tennessee GOP fools celebrities, politicians

That ad -- produced by the Make America Number 1, a SuperPAC largely underwritten by conservative financier Robert Mercer - was featured in an Oct. 2016 article in Breitbart News and reportedly played on television in the battleground states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The account @Ten_GOP also tweeted about it in then. Flynn linked to that tweet on Nov. 5, calling it "great" and saying deserves to be shared widely. More than 5,300 accounts retweeted it or hit a heart-shaped "like" button to pass a link to the ad onward to their followers, according to Twitter data available on Flynn's tweet. He later served a brief tenure as Trump's national security adviser and now is being scrutinized by federal investigations probing possible links between Russia and Trump's campaign.

No one pays much attention to the UN. Plus Haley defended the "Rocket Man" stupidity pretty hard.

Then why do you post on here?

Using your logic... every politics post you make, article you share or argument you make has no value... or ability to inform/persuade.

Richard Spencer? Really?

Who the fuck is Richard Spencer?

You think I support or care what that nazi has to say?

May he burn in Hell.

Trump derangement syndrome writ large.
 
Hahaha yea Sidney Powell is an unbiased neutral party who's not motivated by politics. Here's a sample of her twitter feed. Looks like she's a big fan of Infowars. You'd almost be better off posting opinion pieces from Ann Coulter.
