This is both hilarious and alarming.

So the governor of WV got such a hardon for Trump at the rally that he declared he was switching parties to be Republican in the next election.
WTF?

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) issued the following statement in response to the POLITICO report that the State Department has yet to request funding already appropriated by Congress to help counter Russian propaganda:
“Congress has provided substantial resources to combat foreign propaganda, particularly from Russia. There is broad agreement that the U.S. Government is behind the curve on this threat,” said Portman. “Countering foreign propaganda should be a top priority, and it is very concerning that progress on combatting this problem is being delayed because the State Department isn’t tapping into these resources. The State Department should take swift action to fully fund the GEC and ensure that it is capable of carrying out the purposes Congress directed, particularly as they relate to Russia and other state-sponsored foreign disinformation.”
“This is indefensible. Every day, ISIS is spreading terrorist propaganda and Russia is implementing a sophisticated disinformation campaign to undermine the United States and our allies. There should be no doubt these are critical challenges to our national security. My bill with Senator Portman finally set our country up to fight back. Congress did our part, now it’s up to the administration to pick up the ball and run with it,” said Murphy. “I strongly urge Secretary Tillerson to take this issue seriously and use the tools and resources he has at his disposal to stand up to our adversaries.”
We should remember this when we see how Trump acts in the weeks to come. Like a cornered rat, he will fight to protect his interests. In every conceivable way, he will work to stop Mueller’s probe, to challenge Congress if it intervenes, to undermine the press and judiciary if they get in the way and — yes — even to engage in reckless military adventures if he thought that would strengthen his position.
This next stage of this Trump story will no longer be a diverting reality show. It will be the moment when Americans — and the rest of us — will learn if U.S. democracy is strong enough to stop him.

I really, really fucking hate senator Portman. Spineless douchebag who ignores his constituents.

I don't know if it was paid propaganda, but there used to be a ton of pro-Russian trolls on certain game boards. I think that synced up more with the invasion of Crimea and Ukraine more than the US election.
Should we pay hordes of US high school and college students to flood Russian games boards and websites with pro-American messages?
I don't know what the State Department is supposed to do other than fund ineffective propaganda.

His Trump distraction card seems to be in play. UN just approved fresh sanctions on North Korea and Donald is tweeting happily about it. NK are promising 'thousand fold revenge' on the US.
