    How much do these trolls make anyway? I would make a great troll. I dont care about politics myself really. I can care about what I am paid to care about. Sign me up!

    Why would he think he is a troll if he was accurately portraying Obama?

    I remember the posts well.....I think exampled by @IMPress Polly she can correct me if I've named the wrong person. It was IMPress Polly who rattled on one afternoon how she absolutely believed what was in the Steele Dossier......what we now know was fabricated Russian disinformation. Years later, her belief in this bunch of Russian horseshiit led to her warning everyone else on these pages that the Russians were still trying to influence our elections. That we all had to be careful not to get tricked again into voting for Donald Trump....to not fall for Russian Propaganda.....again....from the member who was wholesale slurped into believing the Steele Dossier was true.

    I sat there blinking like.....you cannot f'n mke this shiit up....no one would believe you. The one so hoodwinked and flabbergasted into believing this obviously fake Russian spy information that was paid for by none other than the Clinton Machine....was the same member warning us not to get hoodwinked or flabbergasted. Yeah......right.

    I know a woman that was tricked into making a bogus campaign contribution to Biden. She received and email and decided to contribute $20. Not smart.
    She received a letter thanking her for the $800 deduction and auto-deduct of $800 a week. She closed down her account and was informed that it is a popular scheme going around.
