Anyone else on FB notice how QUIET things have been?

[Baltimike]

I don't know if this is the calm before the storm, or were they really get a lot of help from the Russians

[Achilleaze]

1. G.O.P.'s Bestie Russian Trolls offline?

Good. The GOP flings enough lies, spin, and bullshit on its own.

Having Republican lies guided and amplified by Russia just made it all the more vile.

[liberal N proud]

2. I have noticed a decrease in trolls

Fewer post of dissent on pro Democratic groups

[blm]

3. Heavy US blaming still from the proPutin crowd that

includes RightWingers, libertarians, and the Jill Stein fake left.

[samplegirl]

4. To much evidence of

all the corruption within the party!

[Sanity Claws]

5. Same with YouTube

I watch videos of foreign news services on YouTube and sometimes comment. My comments were often met by derision by apparent bots with less than complete fluency in American English. That hasn't happened in a couple of weeks.

[Baltimike]

6. I think so too! nt

[NightWatcher]

7. Weird how when russia can't pay for things that the propaganda almost stops.

Tucker must be getting crypto or he was on retainer.

My idiotic family doesn't have talking points provided to them either that they can regurgitate.

[Baltimike]

8. That is spot on.

They're all pointing to gas prices because NONE of the 'rootin' for Putin' nonsense is gonna work.

9. +1,

[Tickle]

10. just the opposite with me

I've seen tons of meme on this administration and lot's of post about P and VP. None good. They get blame for inflation not Russia.

[Baltimike]

13. tell them there is a stark difference between corporate

profiteering and run away inflation. Then point out the record profits these companies are raking in and ask them how stupid stupid is.

[Tickle]

19. have you ever tried reasoning with these people?

They get loud and nasty LOL

[Baltimike]

20. Yep

They hate it LOL

[Polybius]

11. I've seen a lot of Kamala Harris memes this past 24 hours

All because she misspoke on something. As if Republicans never do.

[Baltimike]

14. point our Dan Quayle and potatoes. Or Dick "shoot 'em in the face" Cheney

People can't claim the moral high ground while they're standing on a heap of bullshit

[womanofthehills]

12. Many of my friends rarely use Facebook anymore - I would say 3/4 of Facebook friends no longer post

So I check it less and less and rarely post anymore. This started happening before the Russian invasion. I’m too into Twitter for the latest news - all the grandkid pics are cute but it’s getting boring.

[Baltimike]

15. I use twitter way more now...and ever since I found out Zuck accepted rubles

I do nothing but politics.

A rare recipe, but 99% politics.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. Russian troops drive the GOP message

It’s remarkable how a major US political party is so integrated with a foreign power’s propaganda. Putin and the GOP are one in the same.

[Sympthsical]

17. No, my mom still asks me to call her in the comments section of my posts.

And one of my buddies keeps going to brunch.

Not even Russians can dim the spirit of brunch. If $20 eggs can't do it, Putin hasn't a chance in hell.

[gratuitous]

18. It's anecdata, but . . ,

I post on a couple of feeds that regularly draw the attention of friendless, historyless trolls of no fixed address. A couple of weeks ago (just after Russia's invasion of Ukraine), a post by the host drew an incredible response from probably a dozen or more of these trolls. All but one or two of them were one-offs. Since then, just a couple of the regular trolls have popped by, but their shriveled little hearts just don't seem to be in it, you know?

I don't know that it's a trend or proof of anything, but their sudden radio silence is intriguing.

[Baltimike]

21. absolutely. Intriguing. nt
