      Nor does it mean that the Americans who "unwittingly participated" had no effect on the election. According to indictments announced by Rosenstein there were many events boosted by operatives from the Russian troll factory that were intended to sow political discord in the US. Some of those operatives personally contacted Americans to promote activities meant to boost Trump and denounce Hillary Clinton.

          It takes very little effort to do a search here on Tweb proving you were implying Trump was definitely involved in collusion with the Russians. But, no, nothing new about you pretending it isn't true.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  I thought he was saying that we "amen'd" without being aware of the irony of that amen.

                  OK... I'm now officially

                          I suspect it has more to do with what the meaning of "was" was.

                            Umm... "Yeah, that" was in response to "Brietbart, lol," which was Zym's post. I frankly didn't read your post - I was simply agreeing with Zym's apparent sentiment about the media outlet.

                              And you didn't even notice that his comment was in quotes?

                              This keeps getting funnier and funnier.

                                Actually - no - I didn't. So you're right - ironic!


                                Here - let me give it to you without the quotes...

                                Brietbart?
