If people are stupid enough to be fooled by really terrible, badly written memes..... well... that's no one's fault but their own.

Just like when Obama decided to interfere with the Israel's elections.... if that fooled anyone enough to vote for the other guy... that's on them.

There's no such thing as interference unless it's actual voter fraud or cyber intrusions.

Yep. Meanwhile, in sunny CA, they’ve legalized ballot harvesting. Sergei ain’t got nothin’ on the left coasties.

There's nothing wrong with ballot harvesting per se.  So long as only people like notaries can do the harvesting, and the harvesters are audited.  Both parties are free to harvest ballots in CA, you know. 
But it does show why we should be more skeptical of national popular vote.  A state that does vote by mail shouldn't be added in with a state that only does voting on election day and in-person only, etc.

We will not let it happen again in 2020.

It's illegal under US law for foreigners to buy US political ads.  
We indicted a handful of Russians for this, but, they were never on US soil and never will be, so nothing will come of it.  
If we are going to keep this law, we need one more to go with it.  It should be illegal for websites to run political ads without first making sure that the money comes from the US.
