ATS infestation with paid political trolls

It looks like the new ones who show up...are assigned a more experienced 'handler' to back them up when they get in over their head.

Many times, after I've bested one of the baby Hill-trolls in a debate...their handler has tried to come to their rescue and/or console and encourage them.

I'm 90% sure Huma Abedin has been on here. Seriously.

I would LOVE to hear about THAT.

I've been one of the only members consistently posting about Planet X over my time here and with my previous account.

This Subject is by far the worst for paid trolls as of the magnitude of the event. Thankfully people can see through the BS they proclaim! Just to preempt a smart comment, yes planet x is real and will be here very soon! over a years worth of observations and photos tell us this..

I have noticed 4 specific posters that are anti-trump and pro-Hillary.

Do you know of any pro-Trump and anti-Hillary posters who piggy-back each other and always deflect while blaming others of deflecting? LOL! I do! And more than just four!

What's your point?

If Hillary has "paid shills" on here, Trump does, too! To think this is a one-sided issue is just myopic! This is my third presidential election on ATS... Every election brings the same charge of "paid shills" for the "other side".

Bored now...

are you kidding?

IF the rabid Trump supporters ive been witnessing on this site in the last 6 months arent paid, they damn well should be, because they are doing a far better job than his own PR team....

Ick now i think i need to shower

I was just thinking the same thing except I personally think this place is infested and supported by white supremacists.

When I saw the title to this thread I had a gut feeling of what I would find in it. I was right.

Both sides accusing the other of trolling. If its not your personal perspective, then it must be a troll getting paid to do it because no one would ever disagree with 'you'...

If it is not your personal perspective, then its nothing but rhetoric, while 'you' tell the truth...

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that while neither side is 100% accurate, both sides tell at least some truth. Trump is a loud mouth who often speaks first and thinks second. hillary is a criminal and should be behind bars, not running for office. My point is, if its true, its not rhetoric and its not trolling. Those words are used far too often, just like homophobe, islamaphobe, bigot, racist, etc. That branding does nothing to advance discussion or the exchange of information. It gets threads closed and only angers and influences the next round of debates in a negative way.

Acknowledging that and acting on it is the best way to negate a paid troll. Its hard to do sometimes, I know, but the right choice isn't always the easiest.

G.I. Troll (my name for them) are everywhere, not just ATS. Orwell's "1984" it would seem, has been used as a guide book by the Oligarchy. This whole thing is laughable but not in a humorous kind of way, more like a "I can't believe this actually happening" kind of way. Sigh, . . . . Why do people feel the need to dominate others?

I'm waiting for the Hillary sycophants to get out of the shower. They're using up all the hot water to get the stink off.

Some of the most vociferous anti-Hillary posters I've seen here...were/are Bernie supporters. I love their passion.
The Hillaristas seem to go a bit easier on them...but not much.

I am woman, hear me roar
I am knocking at the White House door,
And I know too much to go to jail,
Like a bank, I am too big to fail,
And I've waited 8 years and it is my time,
No one's ever gonna stop me, not even a little ole crime.


I like that version better.

Can't say that I've noticed, but then again, I dodge the political threads. US politics is rather pointless really.

a reply to: abe froman

I had thought I responded to the first post last night, but I can;t find it.

I have noticed a huge amount of new members that make anti liberal/anti muslim/pro trump threads, often linking to extreme right wing blogs.

I don't know if they are paid or not. They are usually banned quickly. They might be drive by visitors from GLP or BIN.

This site started fairly liberal, I am told. That is what has changed.

That is sorta funny and it wasn't personally directed at me. Better.

I'm a woman.

Here you are sweety





I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

What is wrong with you? Why would you call a member sweety and follow it with that song. Grow the # up. Your responses have been bullyish and ridiculous.

Those responses are not bullyish and ridiculous. They're sexist. Why did God create woman with smaller feet than men? So they can stand closer to the sink when they do the dishes. Now go make me a 'sammich.

I think both. Yours was an example of sexist. The poster I was talking about was being both.

a reply to: MountainLaurel

That question will lead the thread off topic.

a reply to: reldra

I remember a thread I started many months ago...It was a poll where members could say who they supported for Prez.
Correct me if I'm wrong...but the Hillary supporters were much more numerous.

By the way, my reply was supposed to be a joke.
