Russia influence on the 2016 Election: What was it?
Maybe a I need a refresher course.
What exactly did Russia do to affect our 2016 Presidential election?
The tangible things I can find are:
1. Hacking the DNC (dumbasses) and releasing of emails. Not sure I recall any being all that damaging or consequential. (I mean after all, didn't the DNC fix their own shit to get Hillary as their candidate over Bernie?)
2. $100K of Facebook ads?
I have to be missing something. What did Russia do to 'hack' the 2016 election in order for all this shit to be so cotdam important?
Were votes changed? Were millions of people murdered and kept from voting? Did machines get hacked to change votes?
Does anybody got anything of any substance as to what Russia actually did that changed the 2016 election? Anything? (Or is it all Rachel Maddow off the wall bullshit?).

I think everybody but left wing nut jobs have been asking the same thing. This is the kind of shit the american people have to go through when the candidate that was supposed to win doesn't.

Less than CNN, PMSNBC or NY Times did.
It is a big nothing.
At worst, they released the truth.
that is why the dems are in an uproar.
They got revealed for the lying cheats they really are.

"Very fake news."
From MS LSD (among others) as Mark Levin calls them.
Time for some fact checking?
Here's a fact, Hillary lost.

Just an observation as I have idea of what actually transpired, or its pausity.
It it was somebody for the other side, and not Donald Trump, then the probability that your views would be different are 1.

The Russian influence on the election was a fabrication of the DNC/HRC campaign, deep state intelligence community, and Republican war hawks like McCain.

Well I just guess we'll have to wait until that actually happens.
Now, back to the real topic at hand.

You guys haven't a clue.....
Do you have any notion just how influential Facebook is in
the US, and across much of the globe, over the past 5-10 years?
Short of actually planting Russian spies in the polling stations,
you really have no clue what has been going on, do you?
Well, I have news for you.
There wasn't much of that.
Facebook can influence public opinion beyond belief.
Manipulate it a certain way, and the world is your oyster.
Or, political playground - to be more precise.

Clearly the dimwits running the House need to sanction Facebook for being an unregistered agent. Or maybe Schiff can fine them enough to pay for healthcare for everyone in the world that can travel to California.

I'm happy you say that.
You do know Facebook is being challenged due to their restrictions on conservative views, right?
You do also know that the HRC campaign spent $1.2 Billion vs. $650 Million of the Trump campaign (a near 2 to 1 difference).
https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/g...n-fundraising/
Ads for Facebook? Both campaigns spent a combined $81 Million in Facebook ads, yet $100K from Russia was the turning point.
https://www.recode.net/2017/11/1/165...esident-russia
There is a single 'right' media in Fox. The entire rest of the media storm is left in ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and countless others. Then you also have the New York Times and Washington Post.
Is $100K of Facebook ads from Russia what really brought down Hillary's run for POTUS in 2016, or can you be honest with yourself and realize she is a horrible person that couldn't strap up her bootstraps and campaign in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio?

Change the word Facebook, to television and entertainment , and you'd have the same effect for liberals.
As usual you have no valid offering.

Fox News is all you get on mainstream - and all you deserve.
As for entertainment, you got Teddy Nuggets, Kiddy Rox, and the Fuhrer himself.
Not very entertaining, I'll grant you that.
