This should not be allowed.

I just saw this video by RT the Russian Government's very own "news" organization.

The woman is complaining about Rachael Maddow and how much time she has spent talking the Trump Russia connections.

I think Youtube should take their videos down considering they are Russian propaganda

The Google bots are back. What are we going to do about it?

So I'm on twitter and I read that Susan Rice is under a full blown investigation for "misuse of intelligence" and I think, "That sounds rediculous and I type her name into Google.

So here is what you get when you type Susan Rice's name into Google. The first articles to pop up are Fox news - "Susan Rice is a liar, even the liberal media is starting to admit it

Washington free beacon - House intel committee person, "This is now a full blown investigation"

Washington times - "Graham compares Rice investigation scandal to Benghazi lies"


There are ways to get something to the top of a Google search and obviously nefarious people are using them to spread propaganda, (remember the effort to get people to search for "Santorum"? I guess it is the number of hits a website gets that makes a difference.....not quite sure)

But I know that however they are doing this we must find a way to counter it or our elections are going to continue to be lost. If the biggest search engine shows up RW bullshit when you enter an important name people are going to just know RW bullshit. We know that this was a big tactic used during the last election so why is it still happening?

Maybe Russia has superior computer technique but I think this does not require that much technique. So why is it still happening?

FUCK FACEBOOK!

The ads on the right hand side of my page are showing right now.

1. A severely deformed baby

2. A story about a lion that was caged up his whole life

Everything about this makes me heartsick and it happens all the time!

I have been all the fuck over FB looking to put in a complaint and there is no way you can talk to a human or even put a complaint in! And that shit about clicking the X on the ad doesn't work if the ad doesn't have an x anywhere on it.

I want to delete my account but I have too many relatives and friends on it.

I'd ask for answers but I don't think there are any. (I already did a Google search and followed 2 ways to do it and ended up at another question page. And when I read the directions and go back over there I am always missing the button you have to click!

Maybe if I just stay off for a while they would leave me the fuck alone!

Serious question re: Gorsuch. Why can't all or more Dem Senators run out the clock. Keep wasting

time until the president is arrested or kicked out or what have you? The damn Republicans wasted God knows how much time repealing Obama Care 60+ times why can't our senators waste time until this administration finalizes its almost 100% probably implosion?

I am really heart sick at the thought of this man getting a seat on the Supreme Court. Especially after listening to Sheldon Whitehouse talk about all the 5/4 decisions , including Citizens United, that has been so horribly destructive to our country and people. And then reading about his lack of empathy, which is just like Trump and might possibly put him under the Narcissism umbrella with him.

And didn't it just become clear that he may committed a crime by plagiarism?

He is another mean, capitalist who thinks people mean less than companies and he will be in this position FOR LIFE!

Our country cannot handle anymore of this.

If there was a time to pull out all the stops I think it is now.

So are the Democrats actually going to spend time hogging the floor during the Gorsuch debate?

Because I have some great reading material to start out with

The FBI and CIA are investigating Trump's ties to Putin I'd think they would obtain a warrent

for his tax returns.

I've heard it said plenty of times that everyone believes his tax returns hold the answer or really incriminating evidence and I would think they would want this information.

However is it possible that they have the information but won't let the information go public?

I know if they are investigating Russian collusion with Trump camp they would want to get a bunch of information about where the various players got their money
