One small mercy: I haven't seen the Putinista trolls around here

Did they just hang their "Mission Accomplished" banner and leave?



I know hindsight is always 20/20, but they should have been banned long before the election took place.....

Saying Pussy Riot got what they deserved.

The US is the evil empire encroaching on Russia.

They used to swarm any thread involving Russia and anything that painted either Obama or the US in a bad light.

2. I haven't check the DU Facebook page, lately. They were abundant there, during the down time

Another Facebook group I am in is still being plagued by them, although there are fewer and they are easier to squash. I've come to discover if you use big words, or respond to them in Russian, they get pretty flustered.

I won't say which but they are dumber than dirt, use a lot of exclamation points and hates Democrats with every fiber of their being.

Ignore all the "we are progressives" bullshit, that's just their cover story. They cheered Trump's win on election night.

That kind of nonsense I don't need in my life!

I suppose they'll be happy to find out what it's like to live under an ex-KGB thug.

Too bad they've subjected us all to same.
