Amazing to hear CNN guests talking about the "fake news" that was circulated by the Russians in the lead-up to last November's election - and recognize ALL of that "fake news" as the stories that were being promoted by JPR!
They specifically mentioned the Russian-origins of the "HRC is dying" of one disease or another stories - which, as we all know, were posted on JPR as "proof positive" that Hillary was indeed dying - and was lying to the country about her true condition.
Apparently it's not just Republican voters who are STUPID enough to fall for this kind of bullshit.

I wasn't aware of the Russian involvement at that time so it baffled me; I left pretty quickly because they began to get insulting.

(4,035 posts)One of their members is trying to arrange a mass return from JPR to DU, so that they can "launch a counteroffensive."
To quote:
It is my opinion that the time is right for a limited return to DU to launch a counteroffensive.
(Hear me out please)
It is my opinion that Bernie will be running again for the Democratic nomination in 2020. If he does, he'll announce in less than two years. The table will need to be prepared; we cannot afford to cede control of DU, which gets at least ten times the audience of JPR, to Bernie's opponents.
We will, of course, not be donating any money to Skinner et al. Our main purpose in returning will be to create a more friendly environment for discussion of Bernie 2020 by pointing out the numerous violations of DU's new TOS which is in fact quite Bernie-friendly. While many have suggested that this new TOS amounts to a "loyalty oath", upon finally reading it I disagree. Obviously my real allegiance will be to JPR. I will be respecting (and fighting to uphold with respect to Bernie and his supporters) DU's TOS when posting there, but I will retain my right to speak as I see fit about corporate Dems and the Third Way on JPR.
I don't want to link to the vile website, but the thread is called "Manny's primitives plan to reconquista Skins's island" if you want to go check it out.
The cavers are having a ball because idiotic JPRs intend to do their work for them, and come to disrupt here on DU.

(21,506 posts)Manny got away with his bullshit here. Some how not surprising see that message then look at the many abortion threads trying to cause chaos. Coincidences... maybe.

(4,035 posts)I'm not going to speculate who it might be here, or even if they are active here yet, but there's a definite plan to flood DU - and JPR posters we know have no problem calling Hillary a c&%t, defended the Stockholm Syndrome and POSUCS posts, and generally drove minorities off DU when they were here. It presents a clear and present danger to DU, and I won't stay if they are allowed to come back and post. I didn't return to DU after the hack because I was so furious at the way we Hillary supporters were treated by these vile trolls, and I only came back a couple of weeks ago.

No good comes from trashing members of another site, don't know why people bother.

Thankfully, it appeared to me that this site is quite UNLIKE that one.

(27,816 posts)I merely pointed out that they fell for every Russian-generated fake news story - hook, line and sinker.
If that strikes anyone as a dumb-ass thing to do, that's on the people who did it - not the people who point it out.
Besides, they were quite proud of their superior intellect in "knowing" that these stories were true, when all the "losers" were too damned stupid to see the obvious. Perhaps they appreciate being acknowledged for their keen political acumen.

I was over at a conservative site tonight and saw this comment: "Don't be sexist. Broads don't like it." They are usually wrong and can be cold and mean, but sometimes funny. JPR denizens are always wrong and never funny, and not cold and mean but vicious and emotional in a way that's frightening.

Right down the line, it's a JPR member.
Also, seems like all those threads we used to have here sourced by the RT have stopped altogether!
