How many accounts do you suspect are Russian propaganda/trolls?

After being shamed into it and well after the election, some social media entities have sought out and banned these Russian accounts. I'm not sure whether CD has taken any such steps.

Has anyone noticed one way or another? Has there been any transparency?

I think all the Democrat favoring ones are Russian troll accounts...they did after all hack into the Dims emails.

I am not sure CD is worth the effort or not but there are a few that are certainly circumspect.

I never recall seeing any Russian website or ad.

From our days in sports we know how the Russians cheat as it comes to age, doping Etc so there is nothing new!

Why are people not outraged that a tennis player who is caught with doping gets a wild card for a Grand Slam and gets seeded while Serena Williams after giving birth is not seeded and has to fight back.
