Just a reminder, everybody! The Russian Trollbots are still at work

at this site and many other progressive forums. Don't allow them to get under your skin...

1. A study I heard on NPR said almost 50% of Facebook political posts were from Russian bots.

during the election.

Many posts denigrating Hillary were targeted to Democrats according to the study.

2. Holy Shit!

50 %..... Oh Crap

3. That would seem to be accurate

considering the "what's the dumbest thing you've seen on Farcebook today?" posts by foul mouthed knitters who are mostly very smart people who know better.

It's just another great reason to avoid that particular sewer. I don't follow Twitter, either, much the same reason.

6. I follow some distinguished twitterers who keep their

sites clean of filth and posts devoid of intellectual value.

9. It helps to know how to use Twitter. Following only the best posters is the way to go.

Albeit, the trolls pop up in searches and the search feature is grrreat, so some slime exposure is inevitable.

10. Yes. I go for early but reliable "in the know" information.

4. Trump's campaign owes a big debt to Putin's troll army - human and nonhuman

5. I have never "faced" nor "tweeted"

just because I'm stubborn; now I feel wise. A waste of time. I don't have enough anyway.

7. Russia Hacked! wait...what?

Well, I didn't order it Mr. Putin. I love you...I mean Russia. Especially those golden domes.

8. Yep. And their post counts are in the hundreds already.

It sure is interesting to see all the new low post numbers when certain subjects are brought up. Would make a great statistics project.
