Plus a failure to address or even to admit the facts.

Great jokes! I have long admired the Russian genius for sarcasm.

Fresh Cambridge Analytica leak ‘shows global manipulation is out of control’

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...n-manipulation

Quote:
The unpublished documents contain material that suggests the firm was working for a political party in Ukraine in 2017 even while under investigation as part of Mueller’s inquiry and emails that Kaiser says describe how the firm helped develop a “sophisticated infrastructure of shell companies that were designed to funnel dark money into politics”.

“There are emails between these major Trump donors discussing ways of obscuring the source of their donations through a series of different financial vehicles. These documents expose the entire dark money machinery behind US politics.” The same machinery, she says, was deployed in other countries that Cambridge Analytica worked in, including, she claims, Britain.

Emma Briant, an academic at Bard College, New York, who spe************************es in investigating propaganda and has had access to some of the documents for research, said that what had been revealed was “the tip of the iceberg”.

“The documents reveal a much clearer idea of what actually happened in the 2016 US presidential election, which has a huge bearing on what will happen in 2020. It’s the same people involved who we know are building on these same techniques,” she said.

“There’s evidence of really quite disturbing experiments on American voters, manipulating them with fear-based messaging, targeting the most vulnerable, that seems to be continuing. This is an entire global industry that’s out of control but what this does is lay out what was happening with this one company.”

My former rep in the House (Dana Rohrabacher - GOTP) is demoted to the Orange Pimple's list of people he doesn't know after flinging himself on a grenade for Cadet Bonespurs. Poor fellow...

What drives these fools? Are they so incredibly stupid that they think supporting Donny is ever reciprocated in kind? Maybe our resident morons will have an answer; it’s just baffling to anyone with half an ounce of sense.

It was a poorly written headline, so much so that they’ve rewritten it, to eit:

Lawmakers Are Warned That Russia Is Meddling to Re-elect Trump
