For one thing, we're not certain the Russians did not change any votes, since we're not privy to all the information from the investigation. And even if they did not alter anyone's voting choices, so what? Election meddling is still election meddling. You're basically arguing attempted murder shouldn't be punished because the deed wasn't successful

The idea that the Russian promoted propaganda didn't change votes is ridiculous.

Look at all the folks who say they voted for Trump because they couldn't vote for Clinton as she was a criminal.

Never charged with a crime. Nothing but propaganda spread by Russian troll and Republican smear campaign.

Russians hacked DNC and Clinton emails. Trump carried on like they were the Pentagon Papers.

Political campaigns like this absolutely work.

If it didn't, there would be no need for the millions spent on campaign ads.

Trump supporters are the most America loving people that exist which is why we voted for Trump.

The Russians are succeeding at exactly what they set out to do and that is to disrupt our government, undermine our society and have us at each others throats. The Lefty media is playing right into this game daily when they pound on Trump with constant negativity.



There is a growing wall that is dividing America like never before with Trump supporters that believe in the rule of law on one side and those that pick and choose on the other. While this wall gets higher there is no wall at the border and something as simple as protecting our country from illegal aliens that come to take advantage of our generosity is a political football with the Left calling for the abolishment of ICE.



The Russians are winning and the Left is playing right into their game.

The video cited a Satan arm wrestling Jesus pic with less than 100 views. But what you guys don't know is that the pic is shared across sites like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc; and it easily generated thousands of views on those platforms.

Looking at the original source is a misdirection. It's meant to fool people like the OP into thinking it got very few views. When it's the sharing on social media platform that was the big money maker, so to speak.

.



So, let me get this straight.


Russian snooped and then filled the internet with TRUTHBOMBS.
This cost Hillary the election???? So, the Russians hacked the election, by exposing the truth about Bill & Hillary, Huma & Anthony, John & Tony Podesta and how our intel agencies work and their capabilities.


They snooped on Trump too. So did our entire intelligence capabilities. Remember all the dirt coming out on Trump.....

Yeah because Democrats were playing clean and fair and have never accused Trump of anything without proof

Yes, because we all know that marketing does not work. The billions that companies spend on product promotion and manipulation of consumer minds is a total waste of money. The same certainly applies to Russian meddling in US elections as well as the US attempts to influence outcome in other countries. Why, oh why, do they do that since we all know it doesn't change a single vote?

Agree. Hillary’s billion dollar campaign and numerous surrogates obviously succeeded in turning people away from Trump
