Obvious trolls are obvious.....

[marmar]

The (presumably) Russian bots are at again on HuffPost, Occupy Democrats and other progressive FB sites, trying to sound like disaffected leftists, and trying to sow discord. Donnie's poor poll numbers clearly have their knickers in a bunch.
Unlike 2016, they're pretty obvious this time. And I gotta admit, troll hunting is lots of fun.

To trump supporters.
DROP DEAD.

6. They ought to worry about how their "dear leader" is going to get them killed

by mismanaging this thing like this fool here did. Want more PPE? Let me show you the surplus we have on the sidewalk outside this window.

3. And I gotta admit, troll hunting is lots of fun.

I agree, every day I like to go to Reddit and destroy these stupid Trump supporters.

This weekend on my local "Next Door" I went too far and got myself banned for 31 days. But Is was worth It, I had a great time.

4. I'm seeing that on Linked-In

I'm heartened by the fact that anymore the trolls are being identified as such by everyone else. I find what's helpful is to go to their profile pages, which are often hilariously vague and poorly defined. They really don't like being outed that way, because it usually means getting banned and forcing them to have to create a new profile. My guess is that there's likely a troll record book somewhere that raises a red flag when you have to create too many identities.

5. I've blocked three here today. Bigger bot problem on Twitter.

7. Biden's Twitter and FB pages need troll hunting

and so do Pelosi's

8. On a side note

I was thinking about Russian bots and Putin and what they’re going to do in 2020 with Jesse Ventura (who is likely compromised) and it occurred to me the occupy thing in 2011 might have been a very early, very rudimentary attempt by Putin to demonstrate the power of social media and shit stirring in the west.

I’m not sure any in depth reporting has been done on that, but 9 years down the road the occupy Wall Street movement has the feel of something stoked by Russia.

10. I definitely don't feel that way about Occupy Wall Street...

.... that was legit.

[HarlanPepper]

11. Absolutely. Doesn't mean Russia didn't see it as an opportunity to experiment, though.

9. LOL! THAT brought back memories to my early Bulletin Board days... my name was...

Ah the 90's! hahahahaha

12. Playing with trolls is fun. I seem to remember wayyyyyy back, admin would let us play

with them for just a bit. But our MIRT's get them quickly.


Sighhhhhh. I do sometimes miss the human scratching posts. My claws need sharpening.

13. I wouldn't be surprised if some were here

glancing at OPs

14. Gotta distract from Hillary's endorsement.

I'm seeing an uptick in Biden-is-a-digusting-rapist today
