I like to watch both sides what can i say…gotta try and see both sides…
But in regards to marketing my point was…social media marketing is highly effective & efficient. I could site tons of shit but it works… Been in marketing for over 10yrs ive watched tons of $$$ move from tv & radio to it…seen tons of charts ect ect… The ruskies mind fucked a good chunk of people. The reason sm works so good is it gets shared or posted by a “friend” Most people just arent that smart…look at pizza gate…fake Russian garbage and some yokel is now in jail
I wonder if everytime doorbell rings trump campaigners buttholes pucker tonight…Mueller could play some awesome pranks

Some people do have a incredible tolerance for stupidity, even thrive on it. Pizzagate reminded me of that.
Which begs the question, if a certain group of the population is so vulnerable to suggestion how do you solve it?
How do you tell people not to be suckers? Disinformation is irrelevant if nobody believes it. That gives me an idea for an experiment… All I need is a few suckers. Are they all on Face Book?

Yep, they sure are.
Idk the answer there… Suckers are born every minute. I had a guy at my office always telling us about news storys he saw on FB. I been saying fake news for years. Its all crap on there. People only see stuff they like. Then share it to everyone in their list so it spreads the retardation like a virus. Its bad on the left too…real bad… Mm gets a bad wrap but at least they have editors and shit. Fb trolls have zilch
I kinda feel bad for pizza gate guy… He was dupped into believing some nonsense…tried to stop a make believe kiddie porn ring now hes gonna do jail time.
Credit where it’s due.
But I can’t suffer those shows from either side. It’s like watching a donkey show in my mind.
Unintentional Democrat pun?

HAHA.
No, it was the most vile thing that popped into my head as I was typing.
Freudian maybe, but no ill will towards just the donkeys intended.

The liberals tho are way better at comedy… Colbert supposedly was conservative but im not sure. Daily show & Bill Maher are funny. Rebs cant seem to grasp news humor. So because im a simpleton that likes entertainment they get more looks. And lets be honest Trump is comedy gold
Fauxcahontas is pretty amusing. A Warren/Bernie ticket would be prettt damn funny.
Not quite amusing when she’s from your state. I’m embarrassed people I know and love voted for her and support her and just parrot her rhetoric as if gospel. Revolting is more the word I’d use; not amusing.

The struggle is real… Once you get past the “but she has a vagina too, so damn right I voted for her” you find out they actually are okay with her politics and it’s like… God Damn it!
There are those, and then there are those who don’t understand her politics and, when speaking freely and comfortable, you know, actually communicated how they really feel and think, contradict all Feauxcahontis claims to stand for.
I know some supporters who, all else being equal, are step above anarchocapitalists but just don’t know enough to make the connections … ignorance is a helluva drug.

Well it begs the question, do we try to keep misinformation from suckers or keep suckers out of the voting booth, or do nothing about it?
The only thing we can do, I that I see is to reward truth tellers and disincentivize liars. Easier said than done of course.
Nature abhors a vacuum, where one disinformation campaign ends another will begin. I don’t think we can do away with disinformation. It’s even tough to tell if the Russians actually broke any laws with ad campaigns. Frowned upon, sure, but FB is international and lying to people isn’t a crime.
I was thinking something like USA actually do something to Russia. Not just sit back like a bunch of pussies.
As far as FB goes they should screen stuff better and put forth a effort to squash fake shit. If I was Mark Z id take their money and cancel ads no refunds…win win $$$ 
My understanding is that the Obama Admin did indeed retaliate, but not in ways that are public. I say we hit their financial institutions. Don’t steal money, but make it really difficult to move money around. I don’t know anything that gets a person’s attention better than screwing with their pocket book.
Congress has already done that with new sanctions; Trump, so far, refuses to implement them.
Look back at Obama’s statement about Russia in December 2016. It wasn’t sanctions but some sort of cyber retaliation that they know we can get into their systems too.
I wonder why he wont sign them
It was passed in July and he signed it in August. He just hasn’t implemented it yet (more than a month overdue now from my understanding).
Well, Medvedev said that disconnecting Russian banks from SWIFT would be a declaration of war.
You know what would be the easy way to make Russia fold? A travel ban and freezing of personal assets. And I’m dead serious.
A travel ban for all government figures from Russia as well as their spouses and children. Freezing of all funds related to these individuals
You see, most of the Russian elite own property and keep stashed funds in US banks, their kids either live or study in the US (including offspring of the most rabid America haters).
If you’d take the Russian elite’s ability to travel and spend their money in they West, Putin would have a full scale henchmen riot on his hands.
Russian oligarch aren’t very keen on switching NYC, Miami, London and Nice for Shanghai, Pyongyang and Tehran.
That’s why there’s so much hysteria in Russia over the Magnitsky Act.
