Stoking Islamophobia and secession in Texas -- from an office in Russia

[scgraham]

What's the big deal with Russia finishing off America after the Liberals have already brought it to nothing?

And that trolling works!

With a "certain audience", anyway.

Stoking Islamophobia and Secession in Texas -- from an office in Russia - CNNPolitics

Not surprised at all, Russia is determined to split the West from within by stoking all of these nationalist parties and both far-left and far-right groups. They've propped up both Trump and Jill Stein. They support all the anti-EU parties like the UKIP and the Dutch PVV. They support secessionist parties from Catalonia to Scotland to Texas, Puerto Rico, and California.

A weak and divided West would be powerless to stop a new wave of Russian imperialism in the Baltics and Central Asia.

Seriously, you are a party of fringe lunatics. If Russia was some kind of massive threat, then perhaps your commmunity organizer president should have listened when Mitt Romney, the adult in the room, said so.

But then again, Romney wasn't right. There is nothing sinister about purchasing Facebook adds.

This thing is over. Let it drop. You are making fools of yourselves.

Give us the old, tried and true, "There's nothing to see here, just move along."
