Russian Disinformation


The Russians have never stopped their disinformation and commentary on the internet. It is obvious that many of the angry comments on the internet are fake - there are long chains of comment on news stories stirring the pot. They use poor English - they clearly are not native speakers.  And they make up odd names, sometimes choosing a color for multiple comments - OrangeElephant, PurpleAirBalloon, OliveBox, OlivePizza, etc etc etc. It is likely that one individual is making all the comments. Interestingly they argue both sides of the question, demeaning all sides.


The comments below were made in response to an article in the Washington Times on May 16, 2019. All but one of them are in my estimation Russians, stirring the pot.

It is interesting that they take both sides of the question. Their goal is to get Americans hating and distrusting each other, thereby weakening our democracy. And they are achieving their goal. Many people are not bright enough to see what they are doing. And they are doing this all the time and all over the internet.

Coments Excerpted - you can read them at the end of the article above.

OrangeElephant makes the first comment
It's good to know the president did nothing wrong because it's apparent if he did he would have been in big trouble. Mike Flynn was coerced to plead guilty of lying for doing his job. This investigation was shameful when the crimes were happening in the Obama administration, and Clinton administration. It's going to take decades to get the stain from the Obama administration out of this government and bureaucracy.


PurpleAirBalloon

It seems that you misinformed. Our President is in big trouble, as he did apparently commit several crimes, and as I understand it he most likely be charged when he leaves office. Also, Flynn stated in court that he was not coerced and was quite emphatic about that. I would like to stand up for the majority of Americans who are proud of President Obama. You may not like him and that’s is your right but by all measures he was good President, a good husband, Father and man. A real role model. Please don’t talk about your Former President like that.

Dream on. Sounds like fake news to me. Turn off the Communist news network and get a life.


OliveBoxDid you not read the Mueller Report? Obstructive act, obstructive act, obstructive act. You're not just going to take the liar in chief's word, are you? And where does one find the Communist news network? You seem in the know.

      It is Guy Smith. He says the same thing under like 100 different profiles now. 


    • PurpleRing
      Why didn’t Mueller charge him? You know he wanted to. It’s because his actions could be interpreted another way. It’s normal to object to an attempt to frame you disguising as a valid investigation.


      OrangeWeights
    • If you had at least tried to read the Mueller report, you would know why Mueller didn't indict him. Of course, seeing that this is the most important document of the last 20 years, is free to download, and is written in fairly understandable English, you couldn't be bothered because it would take time away from Honey Boo Boo or Duck Dynasty. Grow the hell up and read the report like every American should. Why are Trump supporters so damn stupid?


      OrangeWrench
      You are not an American Jack.


      RedTooth
      What a good little fascist democrat stooge you are. There ain't no there there, sparky. Obstruction of justice requires an act. Look that up. Where is the act?


      OrangeWeights
    • How many times do you have to be embarrassed before you stop highlighting how stupid Trump supporters are. The DOJ arrested a Judge for helping an illegal alien leave her courtroom and escape being seized by an ICE team. She was charged with Obstruction of Justice, and that was without an underlying criminal act. I could quote the actual law, etc. but we both know that big words are beyond you. Why are Trump supporters so damn stupid? https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/440667-massachusetts-judge-charged-with-obstruction-of-justice-for-helping


      Redbutterfly
      So, like a Dem congressperson stated (Nadler?): "Well, it hasn't been proven that he is innocent." What idiocy.


      OrangeCarrot

      CNN, msnbc, NBC..... will provide you with a good start on finding FAKE and HATE news connected with Communist news.


      GoldBee
      What was obstructed? What crime was committed? Please understand that the entire special counsel investigation is being found to be illegitimate. Where are you going to go next lib?


      ETC ETC ETC.  More disinformation, trying to make Americans hate and distrust each other. And succeeding.
