I have to disagree. Insane people don't take care to avoid being detected. He certainly has mental issues, but that doesn't make him insane.
Former President Trump fires patriots in charge of the military and replaces them with yes men

My grandpa was racist AF and lived right down the street from us. I was too young really to get those hardened teen years I had moved out to rural MI and got into sports.Regarding social media, the right dominates it. Not just posts by propaganda trolls but real live US humans.
Despite cries of censorship, conservatives dominate social media
GOP-friendly voices far outweigh liberals in driving conversations on hot topics leading up to the election, a POLITICO analysis shows.www.politico.com
Propaganda mostly influences people who are already leaning toward the direction it is pushing. I say this not only from studies based on the effects of propaganda but from my personal experience. I have a brother who is very right wing in his views. Looking back, we were diverging in how we responded toward authoritarian messaging when we were teenagers. How was it with your family? Were they liberals before turning or were they already pretty conservative?
The flood of right wing propaganda did not unite this country, it divided us according to how we responded to its messages. Less than half the people in this country voted for Trump. If propaganda were as effective as you say, wouldn't they have gotten more votes?
My dad was in a union and always voted Democrat and got radicalized down he women route. Im not sure about my older brothers/sister because I didn't really talk with them about anything like this until it was too late (2018 really when I had enough information to see what was going on).
Im pretty sure though that my dad started to surf the net looking for what the orange bacteria he was seeing on water buckets was and that led to contrails. I started hearing about that from him around 2014. By 2016 the wheels fell off with him and my brother, and I have barely talked to anyone in my family since 2017.

I think that article is missing in their understanding of how the trolling is amplifying the messages. They pretend in it that all that activity is being done by actual accounts of people and they really have no way to know that for sure.Regarding social media, the right dominates it. Not just posts by propaganda trolls but real live US humans.

What he could be measuring in how wide the right wing propaganda is spread is the manufactured click farm trolling that is used to amplify the messages, especially in all those private 'groups' they can't research.

I don't have quite the same experience, but my older brother and I are on the same page. My older sister though, well, we're finished because of her poisoned husband. I hate it, but "it is what it is."
Edit: My mom was in the APWU and I am still in the NALC, unions for clerks and carriers, respectively, of the USPS. My dad never had the opportunity to join a union. Sound familiar?

Lack of transition coordination and Pentagon chaos could leave US vulnerable to national security threats

President Donald Trump's refusal to concede defeat to President-elect Joe Biden and grant him access to the presidential daily briefings, or any other classified materials, has serious national security implications that could hinder the incoming administration's ability to tackle threats on day...

The US minimum wage is enough like slave labor to fully count - but there’s PLENTY of folks who indignantly insist it’s too much...then again, it was *intended* to be an inadequate token pay for servants in the first place

Your right, it’s not a living wage and that’s hugely un-beneficial for everyone.

Imagine how tough it would be for Vlad if Joe had this guy's back? I dunno for sure, but I'd say your NATO allies were attacking the Russians too and helping to thwart their efforts. They would not stand by and let this happen unimpeded, someone will be asking what they did to help soon. Think this guy would be a good hire for Joe, or someone who could be relied upon to be a patriot? Another medal of freedom candidate IMHO.

I don't think so.
I think that our allies are trying like hell to not get involved in our political reality and want us to clean up our own mess here, while they shore up their societies who are under the same assault from the Russian military.
And really are looking forward to the moment that America is done being rocked by the sucker punch the Russian military did to our society, shakes off and faces the attack, and all of our nations can come together to stop this attack as one.
Biden (I read somewhere (so this might be bullshit, I will double check and change if I am wrong)) already said his team is not in contact with anyone in the government but is indeed reaching out to all the people Trump fires to vet for his team.
Which forces Trump to have to consider anyone who gets fired unloading all the information directly to Biden, so if he fires say the CIA head, Biden can hire her and let her get her team ready not even needing to know what it is that she knows, because she already knows what needs to be done. So Trump might be screwing him self faster if he fires these people.

Internal American politics yes, Russian cyberactivity not so much, we are at war with these morons too and you were and are a target as are we. It's one of those things where allies are very useful and empower you enormously, shared adversary is a great motivation for cooperation, ask any general.
Biden will have an enormous list of experienced talent to choose from, the operative words being experienced and competence. Ron Klain is doing the picking and by all accounts he is an excellent pick himself for Joe's chief of staff. Amateur hour is over the pros are moving in and the first order of business is to light a fire under Donald's ass for agency access.

I just heard he has blocked Biden access to the corona task force ...... what a douche ..... actually I take that back.....a douche can be useful, he is not! It there not anything that can be done to limit the harm he and his sycophants are trying to do? As I said this fight will be a tough one I fear. Stay safe!!!

Speaking of which our premiere seems to be back licking the testes of Trump once again. We’re on the edge of “we’re fucked” as bars, theatres, and gyms stay open. Feds hinted at stepping in and were told to stay the fuck out of the provinces business. Sound familiar?

It was only a matter of time. I wish you all well across the border. It was never just our democracy that was being messed with by this attack.

Denmark has a minimum wage that is negotiated between unions and labor. Minimum wage in 2020 is $16.60/hr
OECD Better Life Index
www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org
If your assertion were true then that country would be a shithole.
Denmark performs very well in many measures of well-being relative to most other countries in the Better Life Index. Denmark ranks above the average in many dimensions: housing, work-life balance, social connections, environmental quality, civic engagement, education and skills, jobs and earnings, work-life balance, health status, subjective well-being and personal security. It ranks below average in income and wealth. These rankings are based on available selected data.
But you've drunk the Kool-aide, so I don't think you are able to understand facts. I get that you will focus on the two metrics that in fact have little to do with the well being of a nation's population. Republicans and their fake philosophy hilariously termed "libertarians" know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
