The thing to worry about is many Americans are so stupid that some of this stuff works.

Oh wait. I see now. Your source is Breitbart. Eh, it's good for convincing those who already more or less agree with the site, but it's not gonna impress anyone to the left of Paul Ryan.

I'm just waiting for someone to call Soldier of Fortune a credible site (yes, it's out of print, but it's still online).

I think Dustyroad is a commie trying to disrupt us.

Off with his head.

Russia will amplify any kind of discontent. It doesn't matter if it's liberal or conservative.

It's called demoralization, and it's sole purpose is to cause as much division within the United States as possible.

The CEO of Breitbart himself is a descendant of a Russian immigrant.

That pretty much describes what politicians have done for decades.

Watch your language, bucko.
We have been communist since 1933.
And since it is 100% voluntary, no harm, no foul.
Welcome to the People's Democratic Socialist Republic, where government can TAKE from one to GIVE to another, without paying just compensation (lawful money) for the taking of private property.

(FYI: abolition of private property is the linchpin of the Communist Manifesto.)

Yes...the novelty of blaming Russians is wearing off so we should just ignore them from here on out.


The novelty of millions of people without health insurance has worn thin...lets just pretend they aren't there.


I'm tired of hearing about air and water pollution so we should just move on and forget about it.


Those pesky North Koreans and the Taliban are just squeaky wheels wanting attention...drama queens. Ignore them, too.


The drudgery of electing presidents every four years is really numbing and distracting. We need a president for life.

What happened to us that we are so easily manipulated by some stupid Russian propaganda messages disguised as "activism" ?

Have we really become that gullible and easily led?
I saw through it from day 1. But it’s sobering that such a large percentage of the nation can be duped by the media and social media.
