Wow.
Here’s a headline I’m sure most of you will love, even I giggled a bit.
“FBI Uncovers Evidence That 62 Million Trump Voters are All Russian Agents!” I guess this means you guys woke up in Russia the day after the election.
😃
Oops! Since you didn’t provide any attribution, I Googled it, and here’s the very first thing that came up.
A satirical story that said every American who voted for Donald Trump works for the Russian government appeared to have started as a parody on a neo-Nazi website.
“FBI uncovers evidence that 62 million Trump voters are all Russian agents!” read the headline on a May 15, 2017, post on USPoliticsInfo.com. The post was flagged by Facebook users as possibly being fake, as part of the social media site’s efforts to crack down on fake news.
The story is full of absurd details that make it obvious it’s a joke. It said that anonymous FBI sources had revealed the 62 million voters were employed by Russian intelligence (Trump garnered more than 62.9 million votes in the presidential election, almost 2.9 million less than Hillary Clinton).
The story also said Wikileaks was run by Vladimir Putin and conservative media personality Alex Jones’ real name was Alexi Jonesov. An unnamed FBI agent further said in the article that “it is highly possible that the Russians used a space-beam from a satellite to control their brains from a facility in St. Petersburg, and moved their bodies like puppets to the polls to check the Trump box” during the election.
The same story or portions of it also appeared on several other websites.
Most of the time, these fake news sites share the story without any attribution at all. But after some digging, we found that the original fake post came from the white supremacist website DailyStormer.com.
I’m not laughing yet.
Stinks to be you then, I thought it was a bit funny.
No more diabolical than Hillary Clinton creating her own Anti-Trump PAC Onward.
Who’s this Hillary you keep comparing everything to.

I think she’s the Russian Hooker all the news outlets tie Trump to.

A horse that has been pulverized into subatomic particles by now.
In other news about people who were at one time relevant in American politics, the War of 1812 was caused by a sex scandal involving Thomas Jefferson and Dolley Madison.

Just like the Russian horse, and the Trump horse, and the Comey horse, and the lady genitals horse, and the Republican horse. You know those too don’t you?

Yeah but all those are still relevant today.

We should all post Wikileaks emails about that.

Actually there are thousands of angles to that particular story. Anytime we feel like talking about the politics of yesteryear, it would be easy to share more.

Is it sad that when Dolly Madison is mentioned, this is the first thing that comes to mind?
Where were you in '77?
SAD!

I don’t agree with the school at all.

Warb, that image isn’t what you think it is.

Have to say, provided the reporting is correct, I agree with Fo. Fox also thinks there’s a War on Christmas, though, so I think verifying with a reputable news source is prudent.
That said, people really don’t understand the whole religion/prayer in schools thing. Prayer is legal, prayer is fine. It’s creating the appearance of school endorsement of that prayer/religion that’s the problem. I was assigned to read (parts of) the Bible in public high school (looong time ago admittedly). It wasn’t a big deal. Why? It was English class–as literature. All discussion was in that frame. Nobody cared, including Mr. Atheist here. And it was good to have read it.

What is it you think I think it is? I know it can’t be the middle finger, Jetrell Fo already denied that. 😉
Anyone else seeing the Ghostbusters treatment on Fo’s avatar? Did I miss something worse than normal?
I think he’s been banned!
I just saw that too. I’m not seeing anything “ban-worthy” in his post history… maybe something happened via PM?
Edit: is he banned just in this thread?

Yeah, I don’t see the Ghostbusters treatment in any other thread. I didn’t even think thread-specific bans were possible. Technology marches on.
