OK for the sake of argument let’s say that this is correct. Russia did interfere in the US elections. Just what do you expect to happen then? Do you expect Hillary to be wheeled over to the White House and installed as president where she can scream into pillows and guzzle cheap boxed wine?

LOL, no. It means the Russians bought hundreds of false ads and propaganda and micro-targeted them in precincts in key swing states (the info to be able to micro-target came from the Trump campaign). The Russians also bought ads supporting Jill Stein and pushed the whole "Bernie got screwed" narrative to keep the Bernie Bros from voting for HRC.

Plus the Russians hacked and released emails from the Dems to huge numbers of Democrats to stay home and not vote...and yet she still got 3 million more than he did!

It only probably made a 1-3% difference but in the end, it was enough for the P***y grabber to get elected, even while losing the general election by 3 million votes.

lmao..All speculation and personal opinion. Man you people are some really weak snowflakes if some stupid ad on social media would influence you. Yes, influence you, you are projecting that if it would influence you it would influence everyone, but that just isn't the case.

Bingo.

And like all their nonsense, the Russia meme is now dead. They have nothing.
