Do your own research. It's fun and a good exercise to utilize when you have information presented to you by anyone.
So, it was just one of those things that you either "know" to be true or somebody "reliable" told you was true. Got it. Pretty much what I suspected anyway.
No. I researched it. But I cannot access this site from my work computer and it is enough of a pain in the butt to include links via my phone that I do not feel like doing it for you.
Accessing a message board from work? For shame, sir; for shame! ;)

"While at work" not "from work". Like I said, our PCs are locked down pretty tight. Our Info Sec group is uh...... thorough.

On normal days it keeps me off here some. But it is a quiet Friday here today.

No judgment here. Obviously, I am on a message board both "at" and "from" work.

"Shortly after, CNN and Salon published stories saying that Russian bots were driving the hashtag's spread.

The truth is somewhere in between. While the #WalkAway hashtag, like #MAGA, #DrainTheSwamp and #LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder, shows up frequently in tweets that appear to be automated, there are also hundreds of real people who have uploaded videos to the #WalkAway Facebook page sharing their stories of leaving the Democratic party.

But it’s unclear whether Straka’s campaign is minting many new converts to the right. In many of the videos posted to the #WalkAway page, people describe leaving the Democratic party before the 2016 election; some say they've been Republicans for decades."

No one ever said it was a movement that was 100% russian trolls, just vastly inflatwd and manipulated. "Hundreds" hardly seems to make up a growing movement. There were hundreds of people at our Sam's Club last weekend.

And that's the point.

The key word being “may”. “Degree” would be another word up for debate. I never doubted that someone in the “mainstream” media played the Russian Bot card. I still haven’t seen substantiated data. It’s kinda like claiming Native American heritage: easy to do, but harder to prove.

I'm sure there are many other examples of you doing it. It's not like I went through every post.

Are we just having a "who can get in the last word" competition, now? You go ahead and take it. I am going to go grab some lunch.

So now, will he give me the win by proving he has to speak last or will he give me the win and STFU?
