The Russians are geniuses? Please. They can barely feed themselves and export virtually no value-added goods to the world (other than weapons).

Geniuses--Implicit in the assertion of electing Trump.

Did Russia Ads On Facebook Make A Difference?

Recent studies indicate the ineffectiveness of the swing voters ads.
So the impact is changed to "Voter Suppression".

Russia ads on Facebook -- over $100,000
Trump's ads on Facebook and Instagram --150 million dollars.

The Russians are really geniuses.

So, tovarich, do you actually believe that Facebook found every example of Russian incursion?

They have tried and are trying under enormous pressure from Senator Warner.
So whatever is left out there is tantamount to zero effect on the overall sum.

Lets say the sum has converged to $100,000.

However the major point is the comparative enormity of Trump's spending yet it is the Russian one which the media projects as being most effective.

The bottom line is that if Trump or his minions worked with the Russians to target these messages, they effectively conspired to accept $100K in foreign campaign contributions. That's a big enough crime, along with related obstruction of justice, to put the entire Trump crime family behind bars where they belong.

The smoking gun? I sure hope so. This disaster of a presidency needs to end ASAP.

Edit: Never mind, just noticed it's from July.
