Russian Bots Retweeted Donald Trump 500,000 Times Before Election Automated accounts were also responsible for 5 percent of Democrat-damaging tweets on #PodestaEmails, says Twitter. Russian bots retweeted Donald Trump messages close to half-a-million times in the weeks leading up to the presidential election, Twitter officials revealed to the Senate Judiciary Committee, CNN reports. Some 50,000 of the automated accounts linked to Russia retweeted Trump 10 times more often than they retweeted messages from his rival, Hillary Clinton, Twitter detailed in a written statement this month expanding on testimony to the committee last fall. The bots tweeted a total of some 2 million messages related to the election beginning in September 2016 to Nov. 15, according to Twitter. The bots also retweeted and helped amplify other content seen as harmful to the Democrats — including information about hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee exposed on Wikileaks. When the hashtag #PodestaEmails was launched after Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails were hacked, the Russian bots were responsible for a stunning 5 percent of all the tweets on the hashtag, according to data provided by Twitter. Twitter revealed the information as Senate and House committees continue to probe the extent of Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election. American intelligence officials have concluded that bots under the control of the Kremlin were mobilized in a bid to sway the election toward a Trump victory. More recently, Russian bots have artificially amplified the traffic of the hashtag #SchumerShutdown, which blames the Democratic Party for the recent government closure that was resolved early last week.
This is what you do every thread with hit and run 'both sides' bullshit without providing any evidence.
Often with the boys non-attention spans I'm reminded of a tale back in the early days of CBT in the 90s. One company spent a million dollars on computer based training system for a new business process with adaptive knowledge pathways & testing and learning feedback questionnaires etc. etc. The other spent $99.95. $99 for a gun, a 90c bullet and 5c for printing the new business process on a piece of paper. See, guns not all bad.
Stop the Democrat collusion with Mexicans!!!! http://foreignpolicy.com/2014/02/11...loited-super-pacs-to-influence-u-s-elections/ A wealthy Mexican businessman convicted of making illegal campaign contributions in a public corruption scandal that roiled San Diego’s political establishment, was sentenced to three years in federal prison Friday. U.S. District Court Judge Michael Anello handed down the sentence at a 90-minute hearing for Jose Susumo Azano Matsura. The judge also levied a fine of $560,995 to the businessman — an amount that equals the total illegal contributions he made to campaigns in the 2012 San Diego mayor’s race. Azano was convicted at a five-week long jury trial last year on 35 charges of conspiracy and making illegal contributions in the 2012 mayor’s race. Federal law bans foreign citizens without legal status in the U.S. from making campaign contributions [bold mine]
Eldorado is probably a bot. From the movie "Road to el Dorado". I'd change it to epic brain farts but I don't care.
