Why are we talking about Obama? Trump is President now. Don’t change the topic. Trump won’t dare condemn Russia as he wants Putin to be his friend. He is waiting for his military Parade to show he’s a real clown.

Maybe because Obama said this

And now the left has the gall to constantly cry about Russia when they didn't give two craps until Hillary lost

Purchasing advertising and stating beliefs on social media does not constitute an "attack."

It's only propaganda if it is false, misleading or twisted.

For example, Liberals claiming the budget for the Department of Education was "slashed" even though its budget was increased 5% from the previous year. The fact that the budget was not increased by 7% as the Department requested, is not a budget cut.

Well...that was OK, don'cha know, because Obama, bless his little heart, thought that the only possible beneficiary of any electoral shenanigans by the Russians would be Hillary.

Which is precisely why, when Hillary stood to benefit from Russian interference, you see...there was no chance whatsoever that the Russians could have possibly influenced the presidential election in any way. There were simply too many votes and the whole process was too decentralized for the Russians to affect it, he told us. The probability of the Russians successfully interfering in the election, from Obama's perspective in the fall of 2016, was less than being struck by lightning while being eaten alive by a Bengal tiger at the same time. We could set that possibility safely out of mind, he told us.

And questioning the result of the election, he told us, would be unpatriotic and would further undermine confidence in our public institutions, so we'd best get past these mistaken misapprehensions about this fictional Russian electoral bogeyman and get about the task of crowning Hillary! as our next president.

What do you think we're doing to Russia? Couldn't be the exact same thing could it?

That's a Paul Ryanism. The increase isn't as much as before so even though it's an increase we'll call it a decrease.

Perhaps that's because he secretly calls him BOSS.

Trump will NOT enforce the sanctions that Congress authorized back in August. He is a traitor to this country and should be imprisoned. I hope he at least gets impeached.

Well it was certainly misleading to pose as Americans. I haven't done an exhaustive study, but somehow I doubt at least some portion of the content wasn't false, misleading and twisted. The sheer numbers of posts make it disingenuous. I'm assuming they numbered in the millions.

LOL, then Trump is the biggest source of propaganda in the world.

But since you brought up the school budget, cite your source. I see the school budget for 2017 down about 3.5% from 2016.

https://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/b...-factsheet.pdf
https://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/b...-factsheet.pdf

And the budget for 2018 is down by 13%.

https://ed.gov/about/overview/budget...-factsheet.pdf

So according to your own definition, you're a source of propaganda yourself.
