Well…when ole elon said that nothing would change on twitter after he took over, he was either stupid or lying…since he took over last Friday, I’ve had 57 Russian bots follow me when I had a total of about 8 followers who were real people before…and there is really no reason for anyone to follow me on twitter, I don’t post there very often and when I do, it something about music or riding the bike or some such nonsense that it would not interest anyone but me…but now I have over 60 followers and the funny think is the pictures they have attached to the accounts are all good looking women…kind of a clue to the fact that they are Russian bots. So, again ole elon is doing Russia’s work for it by cutting the content moderation and the bot detectors back to the point that most of twitter is going to be bots, not anyone you want to hear from…and that will mean that Russian disinformation and lies about our elections is going to explode over the next week…basically making twitter useless…good job elon…geez…

The effect of Russian bots…
Well…damn, listening to the right wing assholes in this country, you would think that there is a conspiracy to keep people from liking their bullshit on twitter and the other social media platforms…just yesterday Tulsi Gabbard whined on fox news that she normally gets 250 to 300K views on the right wing sludge she posts but in the past week that has dropped to only 15K views and she just knows it is from being censored for her views…but, hmmm….I wonder what event coincides with this drop in likes? Could it be the banning of Russian access to the internet and that includes the bots from the propaganda farms that Russia uses to amplify the craziest of the right wingers here and make them look more popular than they really are? Ole Tulsi is just not bright enough to understand that she is just not that popular and 90% of her base is made up of these Russian bots who pretend to be real “Muricans” to continue to do Putin’s work in helping the right wing assholes do more damage to the US…so poor Tulsi…her delusions have gotten the best of her…I wonder if her Russian funding is stopping, too? Too bad…geez…
Russian bots are dead….
Well…I haven’t seen much of this reported other than in small comments about the facets of the Russian attack on the Ukraine but it does bleed over into what they are still doing to attack the US and sow discord while trying to exploit the natural divisions in our society. Once the attack on Ukraine started, one of the things that happened was the shut down of access to twitter and other social media sites in the US, and…surprise surprise…once that happened, the comments, likes, and retweets that were supposed to be coming from the US criticizing Biden and stirring up hate plummeted…to the point of disappearing completely…so gee, I wonder where those comments were coming from? Could it be….Russia? This is all of Russia’s plan to use Facebook, Twitter, and every other social media to attack the US and the owners of this media sit on their hands and do nothing about it…especially when they get rich from the ads that come with it…so now, we know that the dems want to do something about it by holding these folks accountable…but not a damn word from the repubs since we all know they benefit from the chaos and hate these bots foster by the dupes giving them money and the repubs amplifying the Russian propaganda that these bots swamp our society with. So, when you see comments supporting this right wing crap, just understand it’s not real people supporting them…it’s the Russian bots amplifying these unpopular ideas….I wonder what the repubs will do now with them being silenced? They sure won’t get any more bot “likes” to their bullshit….geez….
Eleventy dimension chess…
Well…donald trump, super genius, is at it again…playing his eleventy dimension chess here in Michigan by attacking the women who hold the top three offices in the state. In a state that he won by around 10,000 votes 4 years ago, and that he needs for any hope of re-election, attacking a popular governor, secretary of state and attorney general is something that I guess no one but the super genius understands….or maybe his “gut” understands it but no one else does….and there is nothing that will unite us here in Michigan like some moronic outsider trying to screw with our state…but as the super genius tries to extort the SoS by withholding funds from Michigan for following our constitution which allows for absentee voting and voters need no reason to request a ballot…which is trump breaking the law…again…our repubs stay silent on the extortion and instead focus on trying to “open” the state while there are still pandemic levels of virus infections and it will kill thousands more of us. I just can’t see the strategery here….do they think bots vote? After all, more than 50% of the twitter support for “opening” is Russian bots doing just what they did in 2016 to install trump…and these folks salute and fall into line with the Russians again….and polls show that almost 70% of Americans want the isolation to continue until the scientists say it’s safe….not some damn failed game show host who is dumber than a box of rocks….
Should do some politics…
Well….sitting here a little bored this morning and thought I really should get back to talking a little about politics…there was a little nugget in the news this morning about testimony that the heads of twitter gave to the senate committee that is investigating the Russian attack on this country during the election…oh, and one more thing…the attacks are still going on and trump and his cronies are not doing anything about it…not one damn thing…okay back to twitter…when the people at twitter investigated, they found that there were 50,000 bots that were tweeting and re-tweeting trump propaganda….to the total of over 2 million tweets from September ’16 to the election…and the kicker is that trump and his campaign knew it was happening and didn’t report it, which they are required by law to do. But, when has breaking the law ever been a problem for trump and his idiots? I’m not sure how much longer it is going to take for charges to be filed against these idiots…but there is one little fact that everyone should remember…guess who the prosecutor was who finally got John Gotti, the “teflon don”? Yep, Robert Mueller…this is going to get good soon…..impeach….
The repubs are still working with the Russians…
Well…with the increasingly desperate attempts by the repubs to undermine the Mueller investigation into trump’s conspiracy with the Russians, the latest being the “explosive” memo created out of thin air by Trey Gowdy, one thing has to be remembered…that the Russians are STILL working with the repubs to undermine our democracy. During the campaign to get some traction for the lies in Gowdy’s memo, thousands of Russian bots were active on social media planting fake stories and trying to inflate the importance of the lying memo to undermine Mueller and to get people to believe there is something to the memo…just like the lies that were spread about Hillary’s e-mails by the same Russian bots….now, it is a little too much of a coincidence that thousands of Russian bots would take this effort up independently, so the question that Mueller needs to ask is “who in the repub party is still treasonously working with the Russians to subvert our democracy”….this question is for you, Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes…you do know this is at least obstruction of justice? Can’t wait for the perp walk for these two….
