Yes, excellent diagnostics, RJ. Folks, do not be overwhelmed by the dung; think of it as pond scum, the kind that stinks so bad you want to "Return It to Sender!"

Of the many things I don’t understand, why can’t Congress make it illegal for these social media companies to host accounts coming from bot farms?

'Bots' bespeak a scary determination to put over things like 'progress,' which is itself called into question as a religious belief spurring mechanization since ancient times-- https://youtube.com/watch?v=BEhmWEDkZUQ . The scariness comes across in testimony by Michael Glasheen of the FBI in Congress today-- https://youtube.com/shorts/-LqVgX228c4 . It didn't stand up to rational analysis. Also now animal rescuer Zoe Rosenberg has fallen afoul of so many hard attitudes, her life is in danger if she can't self-administer her diabetes medicines while in jail for possibly the next 90 days-- https://directactioneverywhere.com/dxe-in-the-news/an-update-from-zoe-in-jail .
