100,000 in Facebook ads counterbalanced a billion dollar campaign and mainstream media bias? Lmao

We finally got a glimpse of the Russian involvement that swayed our election.


Turns out it was a YouTube video with 500 views involving a Rainbow Pony...like for real


Now we wait for Chuck Schumer to show it on the senate floor

Except the liberals are not specific at all in what help the Russians gave Trump, how it swung the independent voters, and how it overcame Hillary's billion dollar campaign



It's sour grapes. It's an excuse for losing

I said, "at most" it counterbalanced the mainstream media - i.e., whatever its extent, it did not exceed the overwhelming media bias in favor of Clinton. However, that doesn't mean it wasn't a deciding factor. The Russians are quite smart. They understood the Electoral College system. They targeted voters in key swing states.

Was Putin's interference enough to flip the election? We'll never know, but it's quite plausible, even likely. The election was decided based on a few thousand Rust Belt voters, and that's where the Russians spent the bulk of their resources.

Was Trump in a criminal conspiracy with Putin? I don't know, but that's Mueller's job. We'll know soon enough.




150 million views does not mean that 150 million read or were influenced it .


Yeah, an ad like this reallyndecided the election

The real problem is that Russia is stepping on the toes of the US/Zionist controlled media machine, who believe they have the monopoly on spewing propaganda to the masses to get what they want. Russia back-dooring CNN/MSNBC/Faux News etc through Faceplace simply can't stand!
