“After President Trump’s popularity on social media helped propel him to an upset victory in 2016, Democrats vowed to catch up. Two years later, their efforts appear to be paying off. A New York Times analysis of data from the Facebook and Instagram accounts of hundreds of candidates in next month’s midterm elections reveals that Democrats — and especially Democrats running for House seats — enjoy a sizable national lead in engagement on the two influential platforms.”

The Justice Department charged Elena Khusyaynova for allegedly taking part in a plot to interfere in the 2018 U.S. election by managing the finances of "Project Lakhta," a foreign influence operation funded by Russian oligarch Yeveniy Viktorovich Prigozhin and two companies he controls.
A 38-page criminal complaint against Khusyaynova details expenses laid out to pay activists, promote news postings on social media, and pay for social media advertisements, domain names and proxy servers.

The Russian oligarchs have too much to lose if the house is overturned and Trump becomes a lame duck.
Has the Washington Times found the smoking gun ? Are Americans ready to throw the bums out ? Stay tuned next week for the latest non developments.
No problem. The British financial services will be looking for action post-brexit and they can become the Russian money launderers of choice, then.
What would they lose I wonder?
The only thing they have managed with a 50 seat majority is tax cuts for the wealthy.

The republicans maintaining control of congress simply ensures another two years of nothing burger politics

The American Heartland voted in Trump, and in a way they remind me of Boxer from the novel Animal Farm.
Boxer was promised by the Pigs, like the Democrats did to all of them...work harder...no one left behind...and you'll eventually enjoy the fruits of your labour.
But the Pigs just got richer while poor Boxer got sent to the glue factory.
