    I use google. You act like google is trying to promote their employees admittance of wrongdoing. The video of her should speak for itself. Calm down with your personal attacks.

    "Personal attacks?" Are you kidding? If you want to be respected, post a source that's respectable, not RT, the first thing you posted. Did you even know what that "source" actually was?

    Look, you are actually one of the few "trump supporters, not matter what he does" people down here that I actually respect. You have to understand why I reacted the way I did, though. RT is a well known government controlled 24/7 Russian "news" outlet. Sort of like The Global Times is for China, which is controlled by the Chinese government for the same reasons. They're rational for existence is to support the government and present that support as legitimate news, rather than the propaganda it often is.

    You may not have realized just what RT is, and if you didn't, I apologize. Not everyone does. Being a news junkie for the last several decades, I'm aware of a lot of the sources of news around the world. They all used to be easy to access, but now many are behind paywalls. Anyway, keep digging. Eventually, I think you'll understand the truth of what's going on. In my opinion, you aren't there yet, but at least you try. :)

    Let's pretend that they were actually politically biased (their not) why is that the same as what Russia is doing? FoxNews, YoungTurks, MSNBC are all politically biased. But they are more or less American. That is different than a hostile foreign power hacking into voter rolls, and all of the other things Russia has been doing and attempting to do.

    Also if the votes aren't able to be certified because state voter rolls were hacked, it doesn't matter whether or not Trump leaves or doesn't leave the presidential office. What matters is that Americans will no longer trust our democracy. That is a huge win for Russia. It serves them.

    Google being or not being biased doesn't make Americans any longer trust our democracy.

    Internet users dont use foxnews or msnbc as their search engines. I go to Google's second page sometimes when searching but usually not.

    The allegation is that Russia hacked or tried to hack voting systems in all 50 states. They hacked and leaked emails of targeted politicians and other professionals to create political scandals. Can Google compete with that?

    I agree a biased google search is not ideal. It isn't in any way equivalent to what Russia has done or is continuing to try and do. So even if they do create a biased search it doesn't achieve the goal of destabilizing American's faith in our democracy.

    The issue isn't with Russian's posing as US citizens..... but I don't think you're that dumb.

    He's admitted to just trolling on here. I actually think he's one of the better trolls too. Writes a one liner open ended enough to make you think he's sincere but he's just here to piss of those damn liberals who will write paragraphs in reply to attempt to show him the light. And people fall for it, hook, line and sinker so often.

    I think it would be fair to definitively say that every poster who has admitted to trolling or every poster who has been banned from this forum on account of something they said in D&D was expressing some idiotic right wing sentiment. Maybe CF is as unfair and "biased" as Google!!!!

    Bump, You guys were much better at painting Trump a Russian agent than racist and you were so dedicated at one time.

    I honestly miss having sincere debates with conservative posters like @Space Ghost or @Duncan McDonuts. At least I knew they were sincere in their views and debated on sincerely held beliefs.

    Now we have edgelords like @mick fry and @dachuda86. I guess it's emblematic of trumps cult of personality.

    Where are they at now? Could it be they gave up on having a sincere debate?
