Russian Election Influence - Senate Report

[Kidlicious]

Elok, do you follow Romney's fake Twitter account?

[Elok]

I don't do anything on Twitter.

10.4 million tweets total over two years sounds like a lot, but cursory searching indicates that there are probably about 6k tweets per second, adding up to two hundred billion per year. Assuming roughly five million tweets in one year, this means that, uh, a little under three thousandths of a percent of Twitter activity may have been due to malign troll influence. Bearing in mind that Twitter users are younger and therefore significantly more liberal on average than the general population, this is an utterly insignificant amount of output even if all of it was uncommonly persuasive (for wads of a few characters [possibly with video or image attachments] vomited by ESL users onto a medium famous for creating vicious online slapfights and dogpiles).

Also on first approximation no one uses twitter.

[Kidlicious]

Full disclosure: I follow thousands of Russians on Twitter.

[rah]

Yeah, Trump is one of them. (honorary anyway)

An advocacy group funded by billionaire George Soros is ramping up its lobbying efforts in the age of President Trump. Friday reports showed the Open Society Policy Center (OSPC) spent more than $72 million since January of 2017.

The 501(c)(4) nonprofit uses its resources to advocate for different domestic and international policies. However, the recent increase in spending was dramatic. From 2002 to 2016, the organization spent nearly $4 million per year. That number has skyrocketed since President Trump took office. The group now spends an average of $25 million per year. At this rate of spending, it doesn’t look like the figure will decrease ahead of 2020.

Soros has been open in his opposition to the Trump administration. On Friday, he expressed support for 2020 hopeful Elizabeth Warren and her campaign promises. He added the Massachusetts senator is the “one to beat” and said he believes President Trump is a danger to the world.

“Clearly, I consider the Trump administration a danger to the world,” said the billionaire. “But I regard it as a purely temporary phenomenon that will disappear in 2020, or even sooner.”

Most of the nonprofit’s lobbying efforts have been spent on congressional efforts focused on government oversight and human rights. OSPC Executive Director Tom Perriello condemned the administration in a recent statement to the Washington Free Beacon.

“On some of the issues we work on, there historically had been a bipartisan consensus,” stated Perriello. “But an administration that casually and callously refers to lynchings and…parts of the Constitution (as) ‘phony’ presents historic challenges.”

He also said, "On some of the issues we work on, there historically had been a bipartisan consensus,” stated Perriello. “But an administration that casually and callously refers to lynchings and…parts of the Constitution (as) ‘phony’ presents historic challenges.” But we know that Trump isn't the first one to use the word "lynch" as hyperbole. In fact, that's made up history. So you can't believe anything he says. Make no mistake, the money is used to influence elections.

[Kidlicious]

No wonder she's Soros' little darling.

As if this would have been the first time that Trump openly incited violence

Trump has a long history of inciting violence in rallies, tweets and speeches and many of his followers are of the type that acts according to: "Führer befiehl, wir folgen"

[Kidlicious]

He didn't incite violence. No one believes that. It's no use in talking to you. It's like talking to giblets about what a boy is.

[Lorizael]

It's no use in talking to you. It's like talking to giblets about what a boy is.

Well hey, here's a thought, maybe stop talking to all the people it's no use talking to?

[Kidlicious]

I might try that.

[giblets]

Well hey, here's a thought, maybe stop talking to all the people it's no use talking to?

He'd get lonely here.

[Ming]

Well Kid, if you are going to stop actually discussing things with people here, and instead, just post nonsense or insult people, do it somewhere else
