Where were the Russians yesterday?

[PJMcK]

Why didn't the Russians assure their puppet's mascot a win to secure the Senate?

I'll take off my tin foil hat now.

[Voltaire2]

1. I was thinking of posting this too.

What happened to the all powerful russians?

[Javaman]

2. I think the election wasn't as close as it appears to be...

I think moore got a little help, but not enough. thank goodness.

[JustAnotherGen]

3. I think CBP

Should look for a container with a very light weight of paper to arrive into the Los Angeles port any day now.

There must have been a delayed in the fake ballots arriving.

4. Speaking of tin foil hat: You reminded me of the election of 2016.

In addition to all the ways the Russians interfered to elect Trump, there are a few reports of voting machines being compromised, and voter data accessed. My theory is just enough voter registrations were changed in blue districts in the swing states to give the victory to Trump.

When this is all said and done and we've hopefully survived this nightmare, I'm hope documentaries will be made that tell details we aren't being told today.

One thing I hope to see is what they know about the weaknesses in the voting machines. This is one thing neither side wants revealed even if they do know they are vulnerable. Republicans don't want us to know so they can steal, obviousy. Democrats don't want us to know for fear it would suppress turnout.

Maybe they'll call the documentary The Covfefe President.

10. +1

5. Even the Russians and Cambridge Analytica's dark posts on Facebook couldn't save Moore.

According to securingdemocracy.org which tracks their bots they were posting quite prolifically on Twitter and Facebook.

[Faux pas]

6. Maybe even they

draw the line at pedophilia.

[stevenleser]

7. Senate race probably not worth it to them, but if they were involved in this election, it would not

have been yesterday. It would have been in the propaganda leading up to yesterday.

[Turbineguy]

8. The Russians have

higher standards than Roy Moore.

[Thor_MN]

9. They've been working on removing Democratic Senators.

Even they saw that Moore was not worth the effort.

[Voltaire2]

15. of course, that must be the explanation.

Odd they chose Franken though, as he will be replaced by another Democrat. Shouldn't they have gone after a Senator from a state with a Republican governor? Stupid Russians.

[Thor_MN]

17. Who has been more effective in skewering Sessions?

They also set up a Governorship and both Senate seats in MN for election next year.

[d_r]

11. what the russians want

is to cause turmoil and chaos

[gollygee]

12. They bought a president, not a senator. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. They're Russians, not magical genies.

They can try to interfere. Doesn't mean they always succeed at it.

Just ask Marine La Pen.

[Blue_Tires]

14. Moore probably scared them, too...

But that didn't stop some of the usual useful idiots on the left from trying to concern troll us out of victory again...

[BannonsLiver]

16. Should Mueller go ahead and stand down then?

[Voltaire2]

18. No: crimes were committed.

The dis-information campaign and the collusion of the Trump campaign team was real enough. But we have a tendency here to blame everything on the almighty Russians, and that has been an excuse to not look at what we did wrong. There were many variables in play in the election last fall, one of them was the downward spiral of Democratic Party viability outside of urban areas and with white males, and that aspect was enhanced by the Russians but existed independent of their operations.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

19. Guessing that because they never thought they'd never need an operation in Alabama, they just

didn't activate one.
