The poster who is allowed to incessantly post in the comment sections of stories, 
free "political advertisements" from the "resistance fighters" (political riff raff) should be flagged as spam. Which I do, only to go back later to find that they are no longer flagged. 
But maybe it's the Russians who have discovered that the Civil Bot 🤖doesn't read comments. It "thinks" in algorithms and runs like Pavlov's dog experiment. It shocks you if you hit the same button too many times it deems you "biased" even when the button is stuck. Being biased means UR a racist, bigoted, never went to college.
At some point, the fact free political ads are allowed to some but not others will come to someone's attention, 😱 maybe one of Senate or House investigative committees.  :) 🙉🙈🙊
I am thinking it is more like what the North Koreans would do.🎎
But my Great Aunt Jane thinks it's the "regressives".👺
However, Grandpa Will says it's "those damn democrats, looking for a free ride."🤡
