Can we say hacking into DNC computers?

Bots?

Thousands of trolls on message boards like this?
The FBI says at least five foreign countries hacked into Clinton/Podesta/DNC servers. Largely because they were unsecured or failed to follow basic security protocols, like falling for password phishing scams they'd been specifically warned not to fall for. There's absolutely no proof to show the Russians made the emails public. None.

Hillary's campaign alone spent more than a million paying people to post on message boards like this. Kinds make me wonder how much the DNC/Soros/Fusion GPS et al paid and are paying for message board trolls.

They are and have been paying a fortune. Netroots is one of the groups they use for this stuff.

Facebooks ads since the election have been paid for by Russians and trash Trump. How does the Looney Left explain that?

My opinion -- Facebook is irrelevant. It's the mainstream media that scares me as they have been far more damaging as propaganda tools.

So are you saying FB ads are ineffectual because Americans are simultaneously dumbAsABagOfSand /too SmartToFallForIt but trolling forums IS effective. I'm really having a hard time understanding your position.

None of it is effective. It's a waste of money
