I think the same from the Democrats. Many anti Trump threads before the election.

not even the same league or game. You are comparing apples to Atomic weapons.
And also invaded Mexico, the Philippines, and Canada. You can't forget Putin's imperialist aggression.

I always suspected a lot of the lunatic pro-Trump worshippers on this board were Russian trolls. Good to see it confirmed. More reason to ignore them.

Which is exactly what the Democrats did in 2008 to get Obama elected. There were plenty of liberal trolls trolling away every single day, all day long. They continued long after the election and were on CD constantly defending Obama. And they are still here only now their focus has shifted to speaking against Trump and keeping the liberal slop pot stirred.

WOW! You both are paying attention. There could be a job for you in intel. Just not in this administration.

Mr. Daily is not the one and only on here. I like to not just look at the predictable propaganda value, but at the "veddy interethting" idiosyncracies of speech. (Not just bad grammar/spelling seen in lots of posts.)

I wrote an unusually benign post on a thread related to DNA. I asked if Mr. Daily had had his DNA tested and if he had anything to share with us. Like a lightning flash, I was turned in to our local constabulary for off topic trolling (which it wasn't). It was in direct response to a snarky remark he had made related to the OP. Posters on the thread shared their own DNA info and asked others about theirs.

I scratched my head for a sec. What about my very vanilla post triggered this when I've written spicier ones without a peep? Oh! Ah! Oh-h-h-h-h! Maybe, without thinking about it, I'd riffled the waters of a Muscovite gene pool.

Well, they didn't hire me or anyone that I know. I only heard and it was well publicized that Hillary spent a million on internet trolls and by some of the posts here, I would say it wasn't money well spent!

In the end, Trump did win getting votes from US citizens.

We know Hillary was also using paid trolls online to give the appearance of popularity & battle Bernie supporters long before Trump was in the race.
