Mueller Report

It's ads, yeah?

Sounds like 'commercials' to me.

I don't do facebook but, seems to me, if it comes unbidden to your 'page' or 'feed' then it's advertising; and if it's sumthin' you subscribe to then, at least a little bit, it's on you for willy-nilly invitin' mind-screwers into your 'home'.

Any way: when I think 'interference', I think of muckin' around with actual voting (dead people votin', machines hacked, intentional miscounts, illegal aliens votin', the DNC riggin' the nomination so the guy most dems apparently want is pushed aside to give the nod to the gal most dems apparently don't want, etc.)

Whacky extremist me: I don't see how ads, commercials, etc. constitute interference.

[henry quirk]

Yes, the great thorn, the grand embarrassment, the boil on don's tush: now it's being labled as russian misinformation.

If a russian fabrication: how was it supposed to hurt clinton and help trump?

Seems to me steele's book report was designed (mebbe by russia) to do the opposite.

[henry quirk]

So, if this...

"The clandestine influence campaign involved the Internet Research Agency "troll farm" creating thousands of social media accounts that impersonated Americans supporting radical groups, planning and promoting rallies, and reached millions of social media users between 2013 and 2017. According to criminal indictments by the Special Counsel, those messages and activities "spread distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general", for example by discouraging African Americans from voting or by motivating conservative voters wary of Trump."

...was the case, and the steele novella was a russian fiction, then mebbe the point wasn't to generate favor for a candidate but merely to *wreck shit™.

If so: what does this say about americans that **our heads are so easily turned by shallow bamboozlement?










*always a good thing, even when the benefit to me is not up-front

**not me

Because you were looking for somebody to wreck shit while most Americans want someone who won't. That's a much harder quest.

"Because you were looking for somebody to wreck shit while most Americans want someone who won't. That's a much harder quest."

I was lookin' for a very specific kind of wrecker to go to town on a select grade of crap: much harder than pickin' the smoothest talker, most convincing liar, or least offensive parasite.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Well he is special, he said so.

[henry quirk]

Yep: a rare kind of blunt instrument.

[henry quirk]

So, because I favor proxies instead of rulers, and true free enterprise instead of state capitalism/socialism, and because I understand gettin' those things won't happen through 'voting', I'm: "a laughable caricature, An easily dismissed idiot, a dyed-in-the-wool nutcase/Commie, a mental midget with a bent for anarchy."

An interesting, though misinformed (perhaps prejudiced) take, glen.

My suggestion: ignore me (as I will you).

"I can't dismiss Henry as just a nut case, simply because there's over a hundred million Americans who agree with him to some degree."

Not really, no.

But, please, dismiss me, bruce (as I've dismissed you, for a very long time).

[xoxoxoBruce]

Dismissing you would be like dismissing a canary in a coal mine, you might give us a heads up when the revolution happens.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Seriously henry. What is wrong with your brain? You're a laughable caricature. An easily dismissed idiot. You present as a dyed-in-the-wool nutcase/Commie. So much so that completely ignoring your whackadoodle arguments is an obvious no-brainer.

I'd ask why you hate America, but the answer is, you're just a mental midget with a bent for anarchy. Do you honestly expect anyone to take you seriously?



I hear Stormfront is looking for new recruits.

Well I can see your perspective, but I can't dismiss Henry as just a nut case, simply because there's over a hundred million Americans who agree with him to some degree.
I'm sure he loves his family, not likely to kick puppies, and probably hates his job like most people. Might even be... dare I say it... a nice guy... just misguided.
