69. Sorry, I just can't keep up with all the bullshit being thrown around here.

Jan 2017

To recap, bettyellen said (in #34) that JPR "hid all posts defending Hillary. That was literally their only hard rule." I said that was a lie. Your response is to say that you "saw the rule posted there," but your reference is to a different subject, namely Bernie's prospects in the primary.

I said that bettyellen's assertion was a lie. Here's just one of numerous posts on JPR that urged a vote for Clinton and that was not hidden.

Now you add a whole bunch of new stuff, the most laughable of which is that "JPR is funded with money from Putin." If JPR members decide to do a parallel thread to this one, maligning all of DU based on pointing to specific posts, that knee-slapper will deserve pride of place.

But, really, I've been enough of a killjoy. People on DU are understandably despondent over the impending inauguration of Trump and the prospect for four horrible years. If some of them find that JPR-bashing is a welcome distraction from the unpleasantness of the real world, the rest of us should probably just let the hatefest go on.
