Let the butthurt flow.

Even you have to admit that this explanation is ludicrous on its face.

Ehh, I find it ludicrous that this is even an issue. Any damn campaign would have taken the meeting and any denying they would have is lying.

Is it illegal?

You know, taking a step back, perhaps we should all just be very grateful to Donald jr. That he took on the public service of checking in to Hillary's credentials to be president, from the Russians.

Really, bravo.

Can't explain your double standard eh?

They're not the same situation. Not even remotely.

They're not the same situation. Not even remotely.

translation, one incident involves a D and the other involves a R.

 

[volinbham]

It is exactly the same - if lying about it is an indication of "intent" as you argued that it is precisely the same.

Probably just an example of the investigators looking at everything that involves Russian interference. May not have anything at all do do with Trump/Russia but I think they have to look at it.

Looks like Twitter and Google will have to hand over their data too.

If you think the Russians bought ads on Facebook to help Trump get elected, then you sure as **** picked the right screen name. 😆

The Russian Intelligence pay people to target U.S. Military personnel using fake twitter and facebook accounts. This isn't far fetched.

Senate Intelligence Committee: Senate Intel wants to how the Russians obtained the "political knowledge" used to target demographics with ads on Facebook.

I will take this question. They looked at the Fox Facebook page and found the people that "liked" it. From there they knew all the right wing propaganda sites based on the other "liked" pages, targeted the people that had cookies to those site.

Ummm, watched the news?

Coming from someone who constantly defended Obama when he lied. Lmfao

....and LG also defended Hillary just as bad w/her constant lying azz too.

ISIS does the same thing, it's called Cyber Terrorism.

DNC hack?

No like actual algorithms obtained through data mining.

I have on matching socks, but don't.

Not the same thing as I didn't take your money, when I did.

No even remotely comparable situations. Bravo on the asinine analogy LG.

Smart people?

 

[Carl Pickens]

That's right I can. I didn't vote HC so I'm not going to rub her nuts like you do Trump.

Saving all your love for Uncle Albert?

Another swing and a miss.

She lied continually about the server, the content of the emails, the reasons for doing it, how the emails were destroyed, what was destroyed vs not destroyed, etc.

Each time she was caught in a lie the story changed...to another lie that was finally exposed via investigation and Congressional testimony.

It's the same damn thing.

That said - stay safe; Irma looks to have taking a turn for the worse :hi:

 

[volinbham]

So here's an interesting question - were the ads aimed at Trump voters or Hillary voters? If the latter the source could easily be the DNC.

Now if we were to find out that the Trump data team shared them with Russia I'll join the collusion parade.

However, we do know that Russia successfully tapped into much DNC data.

I really don't know who they will throw out from that side but unless Trump brokers peace in the Middle East or at least bring this country together, I will vote for the Democrat or Pence.

Glad you have a sense of humor 👍

Food for thought

http://reason.com/blog/2017/09/07/are-facebook-ads-part-of-the-russia-trum

The New York Times reports Facebook "identified more than $100,000 worth of divisive ads on hot-button issues purchased by a shadowy Russian company linked to the Kremlin." More than 3,000 ads were identified, although most of them did not refer to specific candidates.

What is all that supposed to mean? In a country founded on the idea of free and open speech, how concerned should we be that foreign companies make ad buys on Facebook? The "marketplace of ideas" is robust enough to handle it. Ideas succeed and fail on their merits. Advertisements can get ideas in front of people, but they can't get those people to accept or act on those ideas.

$100K of Facebook ads most of which don't identify a candidate?
