Trolls, tovarich?

These things have taken over the comments section in our local paper; they even post on the obits. Just guessing based on wording and syntax, maybe eastern European? Also guessing that sufficient numbers are clicking on them, that's why they keep showing up. And sometimes the avatar pics are NSFW. Can't imagine that anyone would take them seriously. But then I live in an area where Trump is deity, so maybe the gullibility shouldn't surprise. Yeesh.

Even going back to the newspaper days....work from home!! Stuff envelopes in your home. At least with the internet you can earn some legit money at home nowadays...I'm quite happy with it.

I'm surprised the paper is not removing that crap promptly and often there is a report spam button.
