Are these "paid Russian trolls" really a thing here? Seems like a waste of money to come into this forum. They're convincing literally no one with their copypastes of /r/the_donald, conspiracy youtube videos and other dumb ****.

probably would cost them very little, and thread has almost 2 million views.

Probably worth it if theyre large scale enough online to just scour all the biggest forums that talk about trump and russia

I'll let Politics be Politics.

The delusion is real. Facts:

1. ObamaCare sucks (ask anybody who is on it who isn't souring the pool)
2. Russia is a ruse
3. Pay attention to Debbie Wasserman Schultz news, folks. You heard it here first. Time will tell!

You are souring the gene pool of humanity.

You can't really even blame China that much. If they take a harder stance against North Korea the regime could collapse, and millions of people could starve/ flee to their borders. If they do nothing, then crazy insane man gets nukes. If US tries military option than crazy insane man uses nukes and millions die. If US tries to negotiate or give crazy insane man what he wants then crazy insane man still gets nukes. There is like literally no answer to the problem.

They were a thing here when Russia/Ukraine was hot. A bunch of new posters with no understanding of English.

If you google "The presidency of Donald J. Trump" this thread shows up in page 2 of the search results. I'm surprised we don't attract more attention. The mods should probably start worrying about polonium poisoning.

I thought my fellow poker players were smarter than this. Folks, the rates are going up! The carriers are dropping like flies. It's unaffordable for many, many people. And America's economy isn't comparable to Sweden's economy. So the writing is on the wall. I don't get what is hard here for these posters? It's going to explode!

See y'all in BBV4L!

Did I ever ban you when I was mod there or was that before your time?
07-29-2017 , 11:40 PM
Least surprising revelation ever.

07-29-2017 , 11:45 PM
As if Trump would even consider that a negative.

That there's just good business!

Yeah I am no expert but the Russian trolls we did have were barely comprehensible. I'm pretty convinced that poconder poster might be part of the Russian troll army. PuppyFriday OTOH seems like a home grown domestic deplorable.

Admittedly, it does sound sort of like Comet Pizza conspiritarding, but there's credible evidence from several outlets that the Russian gov't really does pay people to troll online forums. 2p2 is one of the larger forums, so it's not too crazy to think that some of them make their way here.

idk if you were here during the Ukraine crisis, but there were a few posters who were just super sketchy. Brand new posters make a beeline to politics to post in broken English about how Russian was defending itself against Ukrainian terrorists.

On one hand it does seem like a waste of money, on the other hand, it's chump change for the FSB and somehow Donald Trump is president so I guess they know what they're doing.

Ya. Note this poster is PuppyFridayYall2 so presumably there was an original? Seems ring a bell but maybe it's all the same. In any case both of them can be safely ignored.

Holy crap newbs, of course there's an OG PuppyFridayYall!

Yeah it's a vanishingly small chance that PFY2 is a Russian troll, and it's even pretty unlikely that poconodor is one.

If you want cliffs, just watch the Q&A from Rs Graham and Grassley (the new version of Russia they're pushing is sad comedy) and Dems Durbin, Hirono and the person between them whom I forget.

Read the quoted post above (and others after it ITT) for more details.
OK. I get what you are getting at here, at least I think I do?
Grassely and his ilk are trying to make it look like Fusion GPS was playing both sides by tying the Russian lawyer to Fusion GPS. The theory has a lot of moving parts and is very complicated and that is likely by design. I think what they are trying to do is draw some kind of lose connection to the democrats with the Russian lawyer via fusion GPS and then try to discredit any investigation into Trump saying that Hillary and the DNC are behind the whole thing.

It wont work because Fusion GPS was originally hired by Republican never Trumpers and the whole thing is just to ****ing confusing.

On side we have this crazy theory that no can even articulate. On the other side you have
Trump + Manafort + Flynn + no one can remember ever having a conversation with anyone that can speak Russian. Plus 10 dozen other incriminating pieces of evidence. If this whole thing gets left up to the voters in 2018 my money is the dems win the house by a landslide, especially if Trump manages to get rid of Mueller. The story is not going way and campaign season for the midterms is just around the corner.

I mean, I have not looked, but it has long been a community that saw empathy and decency as personal failings, so them being Trumpkins would not be surprising.
