    The Russians didn't want Hillary elected because they desire a strong economic competitor. Why do you think Lowe's opens a store across the street from Home Depot?

    If Lowe's actually opens a store across the street from Home Depot...they are nuts.

    I doubt it happens very often...if at all.

    All we can do is guess about the Russian motives for backing Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton...and the only reason anyone would guess that it was because they desired a strong economic competitor...is out of desperation.

    A more likely guess is that they thought Donald Trump would be a sitting duck and willing stooge...and Hillary Clinton would be a major pain in their ass.

    Of course it's sarcastic. This board has very few people who vote for both R and D's for President. Point being these tweets weren't changing a single mind

    After all of those- a few tweets by individuals exposing Billary as a war-mongering liar are cause for hilarity .
    when I hear about Twitterbots and FB ads shaping the election, I am reminded that Russia did not invade Iraq, or bomb Libya into a current terrorist failed state..They did annex Crimea, but i thnk that was forced because of our meddling in the Uk's Euromaiden.

    anyways...I cannot get worked up with "Russian interference" by bots -considering the 2016 presidential election had $2.4b in spending

    That says a lot about you then. The Russians did not have 13 agents here and lots more in russia working on it, if they did not think it would work. They focused of purple states, which oddly, went trump. But damn, it worked on you, as you admit.

    Tweets are mostly rants-although some actually have value..I agree though that anyone being influenced by Tweeting would be influenced by any facile event

    Lowes and Home Depot routinely open stores near each other, as do CVS and Rite-Aid, and numerous banks. Liberals don't understand modern economic so I don't expect you to understand why this strategy is effective.

    Hillbag proved to be a stooge with the Uranium One deal, and weak with the Benghazi massacre.

    Right....err...."left".....its "others" that have fell for it...whatever the hell IT it.......yet its YOU that are parroting and passing along this known Russian interference in order to cause division among US CITIZENS before an election. What gullible assholes we have representing the left. Do you not "think"...excuse me that would mean that you are capable of reasoning in cognitive steams of logic.....do you not believe that you are engaging in exactly the response phished for by this supposed threat? Obviously...the biggest threat this nation faces at this point in time is the left's hatred for a sitting president.

    Leave the bar where it was when you originally made your comment, Ooda.

    Near...is not across the street.

    I am not a liberal. One of my majors in college was economics. I don't really care what you "expect."

    Okay...she scares you.

    If you were secure in your sexual identity...that might not be the case.

    Do you believe a few tweets cost your girl the election?

    Honestly?

    How will you stop them in 2018?

    Trump don’t need to. So how will you stop it?

    Now, let us pretend that never happened, and Trump's fan boys somehow know all along that the Russian were interfering in our elections.
    Liar. Your talk of Russian meddling was ALWAYS in the context of Trump colluding with them. That is what we called a hoax. It is you moving the goalposts
