Considering he very rarely tweeted and then goes ham with RT's of Russian troll's, it's not all that difficult to connect the obv dots.

He's fucked, and cooperating to keep his son out of jail...lol The chances that he was doing this rogue are basically slim to none.
Sure, and Hillary Clinton will win the 2016 election....

News flash, they are all dirty.
I'm just asking, why do we care?
A lot of people invested in those companies. People got appallingly rich off FB stock. And being an investor rarely equates influence.
Just saying, people are flipping out about this like its a smoking gun but I dont see how its relevant. You know, yet. 100% possible I'm misreading this somehow.

Just like the Manafort and low level coffee boy arrests, a big nothing burger right?
In life sometimes a singe part is not important but a sum of all the parts, end of day after this puzzle is put together, they all ridin dirty. No politician has a right to throw a rock at another, for example watched Nancy Pelosi this morning ramble on about Trump and taxes and how middle class suffer when her and her husband used inside info to buy land and profit. ALL dirty
What's ironic is she used the fact her inside info she used wasn't technically a crime for her and she was protected makes her accusing Trump of collusion when it isn't even a crime technically a real hoot. If karma was real and as in youtube videos instant, they'd all fall down.

I can tell that you totally missed my point and are just going to do your mintjewlips routine for whatever comes next so I'm taking a pass on reading further.
The Trump thread is more your speed, its right over there. Just wade right in.

Interestingly there was quite a squabble a few months ago regarding Zuckerberg's wish to get all philanthropic with his billions yet retain his voting rights. So it's a thing and its important.
Votes and voting blocks matter and it enriches the discussion.
Putin believes we meddled with his 2012 "election" and other matters. He is getting even. He fucked around with Brexit. He fucked around with French and other Western elections. That Facebook and Twitter hold great influence is not lost on him.
Facebook and Twitter were called testify to before Congress on Russia and the 2016 presidential election. Zuckergerg sent sharp lawyers who were expertly evasive. Simultaneously (I shit you not) Zuck was on his quarterly conference call reporting record earnings.
Zuck will have to make an appearance cause this ain't over. This will make great theater.
Signed:
someone who was dismissive of Facebook and did not get appallingly rich. Was unable to remain amoral and unbiased and it cost me. I harken back to the stock thread 4 years ago where I was shitposting about FB with Chaps. I can't bear to look back.
Edit:
Yeah, I'm of the opinion Trump is cooked. But shit takes time. The current indictments won't see court til next year. Justice ain't swift and rule of law is so not a thing anymore.

Fucking fascinating, thank you. If there was any of this involved, I agree thats a huge deal.

If I were Trump, I'd have Kushner executed on TV and pretend I had nothing to do with it and pretend that I was mad about it
I don't read politics as much as you but I swear the only Western election Putin didn't meddle with was Germany.
I think I read that from ex Obama defense secretary Robert Gates.
Now that's fascinating.
Finally. A voice of reason.
Which part? That Russia meddled in so many, or not in Germany this time around? If the latter, perhaps these are the reasons.
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/2...on-russia.htmlIn a move that would seem unimaginable in the United States, the campaigns for the major political parties entered into a “gentleman’s agreement” this year not to exploit any information that might be leaked as a result of a cyberattack.
Germans also still largely trust their mainstream, traditional news media sources and, unlike Americans, tend to be wary of information disseminated on Facebook and Twitter.

Well, when you've been hustled into national ruin by your own charismatic amphetamine-fueled sociopath in recent history, you're probably not ready to have another run that same game of nationalistic fervor, scapegoating, and isolationism on you. Props to Germany for understanding the basic tenet of fool me once.
Oh the irony.
Trump taking his road show to Asia. Can you imagine the dismissive amusement and how differently Chinese must perceive capitalist democracy these days.

The capitalist failing of the 2008 crash and the shitshow that is US politics. China has moved from collective leadership and back to single person rule. lets just call it what it is - dictatorship with no plan for succession - a swing as far from democracy as a country can get.
"No thanks, we're good."
You want to talk about US influencing elections? The US has done a jolly good job through example.
It may have simply not been in their interests to alter the outcome, of course.In other words, these days Germans as a whole are more intelligent and tend not to be fooled easily.
