Looks like you've been listening to your leaders. ============================= #SchumerShutdown becomes top hashtag used by Russian bots BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 01/21/18 10:58 PM The Hill #SchumerShutdown became the top trending topic promoted by Russian bots on social media on Sunday night, a national security group found. The Alliance for Securing Democracy, an organization led by national security officials from both political parties housed at The German Marshall Fund of the United States, found that the phrase was the top trending hashtag promoted by Russian bots as of 10 p.m. on Sunday. The group tracks activity by about 600 Twitter accounts that are tied to Russian influence projects. The hashtag has been used by Republicans to blame Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Democrats for the government shutdown. #ReleaseTheMemo, a slogan calling for the release of a memo that some Republicans say proves bias in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia's election interference, was the second-highest trending hashtag at the time. Russian-linked bots on Twitter were found to have fueled #ReleaseTheMemo as well. =============================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"#Releasethememo" is now the top trending hashtag among Russian bots and trolls on Twitter and other platforms, according to the German Marshall Fund's "Hamilton 68" website, which tracks Russian influence campaigns. The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., also employed the hashtag in a tweet Friday morning. "Americans deserve to know the contents of the memo," he wrote. "Democrats & deep state govt officials are doing everything they can to protect those within the government who used their positions of influence to target those they disagree with politically. RELEASE THE MEMO! #ReleaseTheMemo" https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/right-wing-demand-releasethememo-endorsed-russian-bots-trolls-n839141 As previously mentioned trump could declassify the memo in a instant and release it. Trump's son and Russian bots acting together, in 2018. Such an unprecedented surprise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,621 #40 January 22, 2018 Rep. Mick Mulvaney's (R, SC) role when the government last shut down, five years ago, was to force the shutdown by leading a conservative rebellion against GOP leaders during a spat over the Affordable Care Act. OMB Director Mick Mulvaney now whines that Dems are doing the exact same thing over DACA that he did over ACA.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

This is not an issue that cloture can become a problem. There is no need for a 60 vote supermajority on this. At all. So the Rs hold a majority, plus the tiebreaker if needed. And they can't pass this. To blame this on the Ds is either admitting the Rs total lack of leadership ability.

The majority leader is a Republican. In the event of a tie, a republican (the vice president) decides. >There aren't enough votes even if every R votes to pass this thing. And yet every R didn't vote for it. So they can't even get their own act together. >Also, the D want this whole DACA shit and wont agree to pass a spending bill >without an agreement to pass DACA in the future. On Jan 11th both democrats and republicans agreed to a DACA compromise that would give them a path to citizenship in 10 years. The agreement also included $1.6 billion for a border wall that Trump wanted. Then went to Trump, and he had a tantrum and rejected it, because "shithole." >The D are the ones putting illegals ahead of our military, VA, gov contractors, >park rangers etc... And Trump's mental instability just destroyed the deal that both parties agreed to, and that would have funded the military, the VA, the government contractors, park rangers etc. But by all means, keep supporting the guy who scuttled the deal while playing the victim.
