I can think of one Russian troll farmer in particular. He twitters away from 1600 Pennsylvania. I look forward to the progression of your investigation.

It’s true the Putinbots have Trump’s back on this. NFL is the top trending topic in the Russianbotverse over the last 48 hours.

And this is what they’re after. Not supporting Trump, but amping up his idiot supporters into the mindset that they are so persecuted, so utterly different from the evil pussified metrosexual sneering big city liberals that they no longer share a common nationality with us and that a second civil war is inevitable.

It would behoove all of us to remember that that’s what Putin wants and resist him as much as we resist Trump.

Of course, Trump let the cat out of the bag way back in March of 2016.

When he told us exactly how he and the Russians were going to do it:

Lankford is right. Russian trolls are stoking controversy. In fact, the lead troll currently resides in the White House.

Oops. Blew right past @erik_t’s post.

Half-credit.

“Russians are trying to stoke division. We should combat this by everyone adopting my views.”

High school coaches work for local governments. State-mandated speech is the opposite of free speech and the opposite of freedom of religion.

I think we can safely conclude that Republicans are lost to all dignity, all honor, all love of country, and all sense of shame.

And that they’re all atheists, too. Because if these people actually believed in God the Father and a Day of Judgment, they’d be on their knees wailing and weeping and begging to be forgiven for their sins, or at the very least promising never to listen to Frank Luntz again.

They’d be fearing the blowing of the last Trump, instead of just ceaselessly blowing Trump.

As it were.

He said Russian actors “were taking both sides of the argument this weekend and pushing them out from their troll farms as much as they could to try to just raise the noise level in America and to make a big issue seem like an even bigger issue as they’re trying to push divisiveness in the country.”

It’s almost as if they were coordinating or - dare I say - colluding with Trump.

TRUMP is a Russian troll.

I’d wonder about the skills of a coach who had to publicly pray before a game.

Calling the President of the United States a Russian troll farm is incredibly disrespectful.

Has any coach ever been fired for 'knelling in silent prayer"? These things should not be taken at face value.

Forcing a team at a public school to pray is one thing, but one person choosing to pray silently is protected by the first amendment.
