29. Nah. More of a political conspiracy theory site

I thought they weren't going to tear DU down? Wasn't that a thing? ]

They are certainly paying a lot of attention to Skinners wife. Which is bizarre.

At any rate, they appear to be doing very well. The site is collecting money and growing.

Several members who appear to be, shall we say, less run stable, have found a lovely home where they have free rein to express themselves. I see that it's ok to call Hillary Clinton to "C" word, but only Hillary Clinton. I found an entire thread discussing the nuances of calling her a whore. Some thought one way, some another.

Hillary, has special illuminati-level status.

As well as its doing, the only clear pathway I can see given the nature of its posts is to become a more self-avowed conspiracy website--own it in other words. There are a lot of other websites that do this and it would be a great direction for them. A chance to be "One of the many" so to speak.
