Democrats Created Fake "Russian Bots" to Help Doug Jones Win the Alabama Special Election Against Roy Moore
Note they immediately claim it was too small to impact the race -- and yet they've been claiming for two years that a hundred thousand or so dollars spent on FaceBook ads in the five billion dollar plus 2016 Presidential race was nigh decisive and an assault on our very democracy. But this $100,000? Pish-posh. 'Tis nothing.
As Russia's online election machinations came to light last year, a group of Democratic tech experts decided to try out similarly deceptive tactics in the fiercely contested Alabama Senate race, according to people familiar with the effort and a report on its results. The secret project, carried out on Facebook and Twitter, was likely too small to have a significant effect on the race, in which the Democratic candidate it was designed to help, Doug Jones, edged out the Republican, Roy S. Moore.
... An internal report on the Alabama effort, obtained by The New York Times, says explicitly that [the "cyber security firm" here] "experimented with many of the tactics now understood to have influenced the 2016 elections." The project's operators created a Facebook page on which they posed as conservative Alabamians, using it to try to divide Republicans and even to endorse a write-in candidate to draw votes from Mr. Moore. It involved a scheme to link the Moore campaign to thousands of Russian accounts that suddenly began following the Republican candidate on Twitter, a development that drew national media attention. ... "We orchestrated an elaborate 'false flag' operation that planted the idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet," the report says.They're now claiming that this was purely a scientific experiment and that they did not intend to hurt Roy Moore's campaign or depress Republican turnout or excite Democrat turnout. I guess that's just a bonus coincidence that it worked out so nicely for them. Let's check in at how the New York Times reported this expenditure of $100,000 in confessed false flag operation in a race costing $51 million, versus how it reported about the same amount being spent to influence a five billion dollar plus presidential election:
Two different New York Times takes on $100,000 worth of bots. In one, the number is used to add shock value to a headline. In the other, the number is used to downplay a story’s significance. pic.twitter.com/HpeyrmgzLk

I guess is why the Democrats never fussed themselves much about seventy years of Soviet agitation on behalf of the American left and Democrat Party.
A quibble. The American Left have always been Soviet apologists. That wasn't necessarily true of the Democratic Party (e.g. Sen. Pat McCarren) for many years but the Left took over the Democrats in the 70s.

But then again, the government would need to be interested in fair, accurate votes for that to happen.

I have a hard time with this, too. I also have a hard time trying to figure out Stalin, Mao, the whole gang. They know they got their way only because they used force. Did they at any level believe in the ideology they were preaching? It's an aspect of human psychology I'll never understand.

This is in line with a comment I made in an earlier thread today. Is socialism just a gigantic scam from the get-go? They convince low-IQ proles to support it, but the ultra-rich seem to be fully on board, and they're the ones who benefit the most.
The losers are the independent middle class, aka "bourgeoisie".

The project's operators created a Facebook page on which they posed as conservative Alabamians, using it to try to divide Republicans and even to endorse a write-in candidate to draw votes from Mr. Moore. It involved a scheme to link the Moore campaign to thousands of Russian accounts that suddenly began following the Republican candidate on Twitter
I don't know the impact this may have had, but honestly, if conservative voters are so stupid that they are duped into sitting out an election (or voting for a spoiler) because of this bullshit, this country deserves to tank. Totally ignoring what's at stake, what each candidate stands for, and getting distracted by some manufactured purity test that the Democrats would fail infinitely worse at.

None of this stuff plausibly has an impact on any election.
And the "outrage!" and "deep concern!" about "attacks" on "our democracy!" are idiotic. We rightly attempt to influence all sorts of situations, including elections, around the world, where it matters to us, offers advantages, etc. As does everyone else who can do so.
Many US states would not have their elections recognized by US, or the EU, or the UN (which is just us and/or the Euros, in reality, on things like this) due to the lack of election integrity that we insist on in election processes we assist overseas. Wayne County MI has worse election integrity than most Third World elections. The judiciary mocks the country repeatedly, pretending to believe that voter ID is anything but easy, normal, and should be always required. Gawd only knows what potential massive fraud vistas are opening up with all the stupid changes that allow "vote harvesting".
AL voters are to blame for electing Jones. Period.

That is a much discussed topic. The true believers, the opportunists, the uninformed, the useful idiots,....
Personally, I think it is the short bus of ideology. Like going to the special ed class and giving them the tools to build a nuclear bomb. I can excuse young people who lean that way, but anyone with any knowledge or life experience who thinks it can work must be an idiot (meaning, well below average intelligence) or an evil bastard that knows it is bs and just wants the power.

So a false flag website to mimic "conservative Republicans" yet the real conservative Republicans never asked themselves who among them is running it?
I would say they knew it wasn't them and did nothing to expose it and stop it. Republicans are complicit by staying out of it.
If I were Roy Moore I would run again in 2020 and use all of this as advertising.

Moore admitted on Hannity he dated girls that were high school age in his 30's. That's what this whole thing was about.
***
So he dated a young adult*.
And?
The charges that sunk him were that he sexually assaulted a 14 year old.
Did he?
No.
*God help anyone that reads the history of John Adams.

I don't even know what sexual assault means anymore, what sunk Moore though was a guy in his 30s "dating" high school aged girls looks like a predator. And he admitted he did date girls with that sort of age gap.
It was different back then, but it's still not a good look. Especially since he made himself to be some sort of super Christian. And the guy was a prosecutor at the time.
The Kavanaugh stuff was straight up bullshit.
Look, you can be conservative and think there might be a freak or two with an "R" next to his name. Dennis Hastert also comes to mind, I'm not going to defend him as just sowing his oats fucking the boys he was coaching.

63 I have a hard time with this, too. I also have a hard time trying to figure out Stalin, Mao, the whole gang. They know they got their way only because they used force. Did they at any level believe in the ideology they were preaching? It's an aspect of human psychology I'll never understand.

Interesting question. I suspect that they started out believing the socialist crap, being young and therefore stupid, but over time, as the prospect of real power arose, came to realize it was rubbish, but useful rubbish in their personal aggrandizement.
See, e.g., most GOPe types, whom I suspect are of similar ilk, i.e., starting out ideologically committed, but then swayed by the siren call of power, money, and influence.

You ever notice how common it was back then to move pianos? Everybody was always moving pianos. I have never seen one moved in my life, but back then Laurel and Hardy moved em, Mickey mouse and Goofy moved em, all the silent stars moved em,..

One possibility is that they understand it is rubbish, but they truly think it is no worse than the alternative (freedom.) That is, they rationalize it.
This would also explain their obsession of accusing the right with all their own sins.

come now. anything that progressives do is for the good of democracy. I mean, they are "their saviors" are they not. Moore, being truthful about his attractions was parleyed into his defeat. Only progressives can get potential digressions to disappear. thanks to their lackeys in the media. look at morning Joe. He had a dead young intern in his office (died of a blow to head). that went away.

Apparently Alabama voters thought it was a problem.
Except in Moore's case, it wasn't overlapping with peer groups.
I don't know which side people are arguing.
Either
A) Moore never dated underage girls (despite admitting it)
or
B) Big deal if he did that
Personally, I vote on ideology not character, so it wouldn't change my vote, but the guy did make my skin crawl. I'd rather have Roy Moore than "pure" Mitt Romney

The MFM ran stories about him dating "teenagers", you know the two or three 18- and 19-years-old he dated with parental approval, then sprang the completely false pederastic 13- and 14-years-old accusations. He couldn't deny he dated "teenagers" because he had but no one under-age let alone committing statutory rape.
On the tablet so I'm not going to go into more details or link the false accusers' bullshit or justify him looking for 18/19s.

Back in the old days, it was pretty common for at least middle class families to have a piano in the house. They were eventually displaced by radios, stereo systems and recorded music.
So I think pianos were actually more common decades ago.

with an "R" next to his name. Dennis Hastert also comes to mind, I'm
not going to defend him as just sowing his oats fucking the boys he was
coaching.

Hastert sexually assaulted young boys like Gerry Studds or Harvey Milk. It is almost certain elements of the left knew what he was doing and helped him cover it up - the MSM knew by at least 2006 (as they've admitted) and probably knew since they sunk Newt G. Note that the left sank Newt G and Newt G's chosen successor by getting a hold of information about both men's personal lives (they were having affairs).
Moore was accused of sexually assaulting a girl. The woman in question lost a law suit in front of Moore and admitted to fabricating some of her "evidence".
Kavanaugh was also accused of sexually assaulting a girl.

It's getting off topic so here goes. I used to do a little moonlighting for a guy that did move pianos. He had a gig with a few music stores, and had every type of equipment you could imagine for moving them. My main job was keeping them in balance while we had them rolling or using a stair climbing device. What was cool, the guy would set it up, including reassembly of grands or baby grands, and crank out a little Chopin for the customer. I ran the vacuum cleaner, a nice touch.

For most of the low level people? Believing is like a religion for them. The fact that their religion changes, fundamentally, every year doesn't phase them which is...odd.
For the LIVs? The only thing they hear is that the left is caring an wants to help them.

Weasel - my current approach, which remains academic since I haven't reloaded the brass more than once, is to use the brass from HXP surplus (loading for the M-1) 3 times, then recycle it. So, a total of four firings.
I visually inspect each case from the first reloading on, of course.
I don't think I want to get into doing the "paper clip test" or similar to 1,200 cases, when I get to 3 reloadings/4 total firings, so I assume a safe approach is just to junk the brass at that point.
Of course I might just set it aside, in the event I get a Springfield to reload for down the road (where I wouldn't be all that concerned about the cases, and also could more easily do close inspection for a much smaller number of cases).
What say ye?

Ayn Rand needed an editor to toss out most of Galts speeches but she understood that the siren call of 'getting some of that more talented, or more ambitious, or smarter dudes stuff' is a real siren call for most folks. They need to be shown how that works out when those ambitious folks find out the government is taking what they created to hand to folks who are good talkers making the case to the central committees that they have more needs than the folks what grew the crops or built the car or whatever do.
So when 90-something percent of the FNM and HW actors are spreading the damned dirty lie that socialism is more fair instead of showing the disasters in Cuba, Venezuela, Cambodia, Mao's China, etc. then the mob goes to lowest denominator of "I want some of that rich dudes stuff"

I don't handload, yet, but I want to start. I was beginning to suspect that I was allowing my upper torso to settle a bit and that was causing the horizontal which was leading me to begin looking at using the two stable sandbags as a potential solution (plus more push ups and pull ups to help maintain the posture.
One I'm certain I can still remove the variance caused by my atrophied skills, I can start looking into handloading.

You bet! More specifically with the L to R drift, unsupported, recoil can sometimes cause a right handed shooter to sort of torque to the right. Just something to consider.

Moore was accused of sexually assaulting a girl. The woman in question lost a law suit in front of Moore and admitted to fabricating some of her "evidence".
Kavanaugh was also accused of sexually assaulting a girl.
Posted by: 18-1

I'm saying I think Kavanaugh was smeared, Roy Moore wasn't.
I was completely dismissive of the stuff against Moore until I heard his interview on Hannity. It was a lot of "well, I always asked their parents first if I did date teenagers when I was that much older" and I was like WTF.
Robbing the cradle was more of a joke back then, but I think that's what his M.O. was.
If you think it was 100% smears, fine, I'm saying though I think there was something there.

Fake Russian bot campaign? Spent $100k on it? Obvious disinformation campaign?
Against the law, correct? Whether a felony or a gross misdemeanor, why isn't there a charge against this internet billionaire who planned and paid for it?
Haven't we been collectively mugged for two years that our system is being ruined because of Trump supporters spending $4,700 on a multi-Billion campaign?
My anger over the two different levels of rule of law is very high right now. It is obvious. One set of laws for the Demos and the freaks, and a much higher standard for traditional, working and God-fearing-loving Americans and Republicans / Trump.
This will NOT go on forever. No more words, I don't want to get banned. You know what I want to say.

Speaking of Laurel and Hardy,...
You ever notice how common it was back then to move pianos?
Everybody was always moving pianos. I have never seen one moved in my
life, but back then Laurel and Hardy moved em, Mickey mouse and Goofy
moved em, all the silent stars moved em,..
what was it, did the country move all the pianos around and it was
such a disaster that everyone decided to just leave them where they are
from then on?

My first job in high school was moving pianos, altho they were mostly new-bought, moved from the store to your house. I remember taking one up a fire escape.

I have moved a piano twice and a Hammond organ once. I will move them one more time and there they will stay.
I did a gig once with a B-3 player who had an ex-ambulance he named the Vital Organ Transport. I rode that night with a drummer who had an old Crown Vic ex-cop car (complete with big chrome outside spotlight). While we were all loading out of the motel lobby into the respective vehicles, I watched a whole bunch of people slowly pull into the parking lot, turn around, and drive right back out.

The amount of stretch (actually flow) results from excessive headspace - a condition common in loosely chambered (military) rifles. I'd think you could get quite a few more reloadings from brass, though. Have you considered annealing? I would think the likelihood of case head separation at 4 firings would be low.

Which can be mostly mitigated by truly mastering the Natural Point of Aim physical discipline when behind the rifle in the prone.
That, and an effective Hasty Sling, as taught in many an Appleseed Course.
A quality "snap cap" dummy cartridge for Dry Fire practice, and lots of properly coached Dry Fire practice, will pay dividends on Live Fire days.
If the shooter will DILIGENTLY improve their "behind the rifle" basics and skills *before* the first round goes downrange...
Then that first and many subsequent rounds ought to land in a much cozier group than without that necessary Dry Fire practice.
Whole lotta improvements can be made to one's shooting, without firing a single round.

Weasel, yes the extraction process is extremely violent. I spend probably 50% of the total time on 30-06/M-1 reloading just filing down the dents and deformations affecting the extracting groove, so I can get the brass into the shell-holder on the press.
As I approach the reality of this (I am still shooting through my HXP for the first time, plan to shoot it all up, I have new-production Prvi ammo as my "reserve"), I will revisit the issue. CMP forums naturally have lots of experienced reloaders for the M-1; I've read through many threads there the past few years, seems like the lazy/careful sorts go to 4-5 firings and recycle, while some of the more experienced/adventuresome inspect each case and get 8 or more uses out of each.
I kind of like my own just-improvised idea of 4 M-1 firings followed by retirement to the bolt-action pasture, for use with a Springfield. Of course I'll have to actually get one of those rifles. Small detail, for the future.

No, see, the older story about the $100,000 Russian Facebook ad purchase was for the whole country. This is less serious, it's $100,000 in just one state. This is the same money spent in a close election in one of fifty states. Fifty times as concentrated.
Oh...
Well anyway, they say it was just research. To see what would happen. Like when a 13-year-old puts an M-80 in somebody's mailbox. To see what will happen.

With ballot harvesting, democrats have discarded trying to get more people to vote for them and gone straight to finagling the count. It used to be that you had to either cast a ballot in person, mail in an absentee ballot, or drop it off at the proper location. In all cases the voter had to do that himself. California made it legal for a third party to pick up your ballot and drop it off for you. No way to corrupt that, nosiree.

It's almost as if it's not an attack on our very democracy if it's intended to help Democrats -- which I guess is why the Democrats never fussed themselves much about seventy years of Soviet agitation on behalf of the American left and Democrat Party.
I wouldn't mind so much if Democrats would just admit that they think theirs is the side of righteousness and that justifies anything that aids them, and that anything that aids conservatives is immoral. But they don't say that. They try to frame things in terms of neutral principles "Whoever uses fraud to influence elections is bad" and then backpedal when they're caught doing it. That's what's so irritating. Stop claiming to adhere to some neutral principle.

I'm reasonably sure there are already laws that prohibit voter fraud, they just aren't enforced, just like the border laws and sanctuary cities. We don't need any more laws that will just get ignored by Progs.
This "social justice" bullshit is illegal too. As one of the Morons (named "An Observation") has already pointed out several times, it's illegal to prevent someone from exercising their rights, but it's already happening with no repercussions at all.
If nobody in power gives a shit enough to do their job, why should I care anymore?

There's a guy I shoot with, high power matches, that when he shoots an M1 Garand, he's a machine when it comes to repeatability. Shoulder, recoil, rifle goes up, loads, shoulders, fires. He's like a metronome on the range and his scores reflect it. (slow fire off-hand)
Absolutely a treat to watch.

I don't see any evidence that the GOPe is doing anything about voter fraud. If that keeps up, 2020 will be a nightmare, Trump or no Trump.

Which is why I said it could go wrong before. Both Nixon and Reagan won landslides after the Kennedy BS. After 2000 the left went insane. They went even further after 16. Not sure there's any going back.

There is no going back. Over the last 20 years the Dems have purged their party of anybody that was even remotely moderate. Zell Miller is the last Blue Dog I remember, who would vote Country over party.
--------------
The only place they are going is further Left.

You know what should happen? Some Californian, like me for example, should agitate for a Proposition to cancel all Republican votes in all elections. See how far it would get. I bet it could get passed.

I will concede that 2000 was when local crooked Dem modus operandi went national.

You don't need to go to all that trouble. They have "ballot harvesting" that does the same thing now.
Oh well, I should be glad that I got to experience a little bit of America as it was intended to be, at least for a short while. I'm glad I'm old now and have something to look forward to that can't be taken away from me.

You mean the one where the Dems realize they have to campaign in all 50 states rather than run up the totals in blue states?

I live in Alabama and I am convinced the ONLY reason Jones won is because of the 14 year old girl stuff and Moore kind of being a Creeper McCreepster. I don't believe Jones will ever win a second term.

Let's see.
100 grand for a special senate race: No big deal.
100 grand for a major US Presidential race: HUGE DEAL, COLLUSION, IMPEACHMENT, WHITE SUPREMACY!! (OK, I added a couple, but you know the drift.)
