I was having a Poe's Law moment, but you weren't kidding:
“On or about August 18, 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators sent money via interstate wire to another real U.S. person recruited by the ORGANIZATION, using one of their false U.S. personas, to build a cage large enough to hold an actress depicting Clinton in a prison uniform.”
And funnily enough:
The Russians wanted the cage on a flatbed, so it could be paraded at rallies in Florida. But by the time the trolls were reaching into their bank account, three Iowans had already rolled out a smaller version of the cage float at a July 30 parade celebrating the 100th anniversary of the city of Arcadia’s fire department.
Lol. What?
Julin and his friends even came up with a gimmick the Russians don’t appear to have thought of: they passed out water balloons for parade-goers to throw at the caged Clinton impersonator.
The Times Herald described a “young blond boy, no more than 8 years old,” having the “prideful smile of a job well done” after throwing a water balloon at the cage.

The Russian election meddling operation was a sophisticated attack against the West. This operation was funded through Russian fronts, including a catering company run by a close friend of Putin, Yevgeny Prigozhin. They used stolen American identities. Operatives bought political ads on social media sites. Operatives visited the United States, traveled across 9 states and discussed escape routes if they were caught inside the country. Operatives bought equipment including burner phones and SIM cards. The operation included hundreds of employees and millions of dollars. Prigozhin funded the Internet Research Agency and their meddling of the American election. This was a sophisticated operation that spanned over several years. Prigozhin has been Putin's go to guy for under the table missions including recruiting mercenaries for the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria.

Markk, should we ignore all of this ‘because Trump’? Or would it be prudent to take a look at it, regardless of what that look uncovers?

And they still don’t even know why they want to ‘lock her up’. They just know how to parrot talking points provided to them by a country that wants to subvert us.
And Markk wonders why the system suffers as it does.

I am curious if you think this float directed or reflected viewers' opinion and/or feelings about Hillary Clinton. To quote the lady herself - "what difference does it make anyway"? - did this spectacle influence/change any single person's vote or ability to vote?

Which (Russian meddling) has been going on since WW2? What I am discussing, or trying to, is that it is blamed on Trump with no proof. It happened under Obama, and the only proven shenanigans in regards to the election was by Hillary?
Give me a link to your information above, and you mentioned it went on for several years...what years?

I guess I could break down this thread, show you why I demonstrated Russian meddling in our election, and why your comment was a non sequitur in relation to it, but it's a fool's errand to try and educate you on anything related to this investigation and the GOP.
Also, you don't read and I don't know how to communicate with someone, contextually, who doesn't read and is consistently situationally unaware.
