Well, given that interpretation, either you're a colossally confused idiot or a troll. I see that in either case, ridicule is probably the only reasonable response. Moving on.
You are saying that Facebook ads are a threat to our Republic, but having the full weight of America's national security establishment brought against the Trump campaign and Presidency; FISA warrants, spying, interrogations, investigations, entrapment schemes; all launched under completely fraudulent circumstances isn't? This is how you know if you are a police-state liberal.
Now the Mueller indictments of 13 Russians and 3 companies was just another scam to make it appear that there really was some Russia election interference. This Russian "interference" was just a click-bait commercial marketing scheme used to generate advertisement revenue and created online crowds around virtual persona to promote whatever its commercial customers wanted to promote. The internet makes it easy to create an army of sock-puppet accounts to amplify an opinion or promote a product. This is tactic done by many companies, even the US military. This Russian company, Internet Research Agency, created click-bait websites and groups and promoted these through mini Facebook advertisements. These are the Facebook ads that are somehow a threat to our Republic and national security. Some of these sock-puppet accounts engaged in political activities. Some were pro-Hillary, some were anti- Hillary, some were pro-Trump, some were anti-Trump. These sock-puppet accounts did not create or promote fake news.
As lawyer Robert Barnes wrote,
"
The only thing frightening about this indictment is the dangerous and dumb precedent it could set: foreign nationals criminally prohibited from public expression in the US during elections unless registered as foreign agents and reporting their expenditures to the FEC."
This forum is call the International Skeptics Forum. There might be posters from countries outside the USA. Most of the posters here are anonymous. Is it legal for some outside the USA to comment on the US elections? If some is commenting from England, Sweden or Brazil must they register as a foreign agent? Is this not foreign meddling if someone outside the USA is commenting?
My, your attempts at false equivalence and making up positions for others are as wonderful as ever..
I provided actual evidence of fake news from Germany. You don't like this because it goes against your manufactured fake news narrative, "Russia attacked our democracy." No one here has yet to provide an example of disinformation from Russia, other than Trump-Russia collusion, which you support.
As long as you assume that, you back yourself into a ridiculous, reality-denying corner and end up with... the kind of bs that you spout.
So all the dirt on the Trump campaign came from US sources? Is Serhiy Leshchenko a US citizen?
This should get the award for best "Look over there!" paragraph of the year.
Yes, it was an example of actual fake news stories, opposed to the Trump-Russia collusion hoax which we've been subjected to for over two years. The people here don't like reality to burst their bubbles.
There was probable cause to investigate. Even if they didn't find any evidence in the end it was still a worthwhile investigation. Of course, that's not what happened. They didn't find enough evidence to convict. That's very different.
You're seriously fact-challenged.
There was no probable cause to investigate because the evidence was all unverified and there was no underlying crime. But this wasn't an investigation anyway, it was a revenge campaign by Democratic partisans and a coup attempt.
