Is JPR really a pro-Trump site?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

That is profoundly disappointing.

It is like spitting in the eyes of our Hispanic, African American, and lbtgq brothers and sisters.


They are giving succor to a monster.

[HipChick]

1. Cliffnotes on how JPR came to be?

[MADem]

3. Angry BOBers refusing to listen to the leader they purported to follow;

infused with an angry and irrational hatred of All Things Hillary, and taking that hatred to the Nth degree.

Now they're backing that molester Trump because he opposes their enemy, and because some of them really don't think the equality/anti-racism/pro-women aspects of our platform deserve the attention that our nominee gives them.

[HipChick]

4. ahh...I took a break from DU, and only came back recently..

Thanks!

[obamanut2012]

16. Mainly fake BoBers who were really winguts

Like most of us had been suspected for years.

[Hortensis]

21. Some genuine Sanders progressives went there initially, but

also a whole bunch of Sanders' populist barn-burners and Hillary-deranged whatevers. The latter seemingly include a lot of conservatives who were only calling themselves progressive because the leader they chose did. Whatever, conservatives and extremists from both right and left who oppose the Democrats have obviously become predominant.

[MADem]

28. They like the "protectionism" piece and have discovered their latent racism, or something.

It's really quite vile--I can't understand how anyone can, in good conscience, subscribe to both that place and here. That place is a classic hate site. It's like a car wreck--horrifyingly mesmerizing to look at as you drive slowly by, but nothing you'd want to be in.

[Hortensis]

36. Vile yes, but "conscience"? What's THAT to do with it? ?)

This group feeds off DU. They're motivated, and united, by hostility toward Democrats. DU provides them a reason to exist and is a source of constant, energizing outrages. Of course they come here to play malicious games and take stories back to the nest. And since people are complex, no doubt to occasionally participate the way they should and reassure themselves that they do belong.

[MADem]

47. Indeed--'conscience' is not a synonym for 'hatred' or 'rage' but I believe some might

believe that to be the case.

They're letting their anger at not getting their way twist their "conscience" into supporting a complete nutter.

Thing is, though, it won't last - people are getting tired of the hate, and Clinton has had 30 years to formulate her agenda. She's gonna be one of those bee words that gets shit, or stuff, done!

[Hortensis]

52. Agree. "Conscience" was supposed to be a joke.

It definitely gets twisted into justifications and also...forgotten, shoved farther and farther into the background as passions take over. Once we forget that it's our behaviors that define us--and not the virtuous labels we slap on our foreheads--we're on a very slippery slope.

[MADem]

61. They should teach this in school--well said!

Once we forget that it's our behaviors that define us--and not the virtuous labels we slap on our foreheads--we're on a very slippery slope.

[msanthrope]

37. A DUer got banned, and humiliated by his female boss on the same day.

So they decided to take an "ironical" name of a dead DUer.

And that, my friend, is the inside baseball story.

[Hekate]

90. Ah, so that's it

I wasn't sure if Jackpine himself founded it before he died and then they twisted it after telling us here that they intended to honor his memory -- but knowing it was done with malice aforethought is sickening.

[AllyCat]

95. The "dead DUer" was Jackpine Radical and a good progressive

He would not have agreed with what they have done.

I too, went over there briefly when the primary season got so bitter. Many of you on this thread were supremely nasty to anyone who supported Bernie.

That said, I never really left DU and came back when they seemed irrelevant and Clinton was the nominee.

They formed in good faith. They have transformed into something I loathe

[msanthrope]

98. They did not form in good faith. "Nasty?" That's an interesting word to use. nt

[AllyCat]

99. Your response does not surprise me

[msanthrope]

100. It should not surprise you that I have limited patience for those who claim

victimization falsely.

[AllyCat]

101. Righteo

[snooper2]

40. Just the people on the far left who are anti West and have more in common with far right

couldn't hold their idiocy in anymore and had to let it spill from their keyboards LOL

[emulatorloo]

78. A popular flamebaiter who admitted to wanting 2008 overturned + a guy who said AA's and LGBT

had "Stockholm Syndrome" if they supported HRC = the founding fathers of JPR

Flamebaiter continually insisted Obama was gonna gut social security at every SOTU. Every OP designed to stir the pot and get DU'ers at each other's throats. Always seemed like a GOP operative to me, and I'm not the only one who thought so.

[elleng]

2. I'm sure it's not.

I haven't been there recently, and haven't read there or here today, but there's a lot of foolishness written around these days.

[DLCWIdem]

5. I don't go there but I've seen some of the posts as some posters link to posts over there.

Some of the threads are pro Trump. If you don't believe it go there yourself and see.

[elleng]

7. No thanks.

[geek tragedy]

9. 95% of the dirtbags there are actively rooting for Trump

[pampango]

14. There was a lot of Jill Stein support there a few weeks ago but now it is mostly pro-Trump/pro-Putin

The hatred of Hillary has seemed to lead to embrace of all things right wing -lots of links to right wing sites and conspiracy theories. Lots of articles from Russia Today and Sputnik News to tell us how good Trump and Putin are and how terrible Clinton is.

[geek tragedy]

57. Jill Stein was kind of a gateway drug--relatively benign crazy to full out Hitler-stye crazy

People who once proclaimed themselves too morally pure to settle for the lesser of two evils now stating that they're voting for Trump as .... the lesser of two evils.

There's a group of people who refer to voting for Trump as the lesser of two evils. they're called Republicans.

[LowerManhattanite]

56. It sure the f*ck is now...

I peeped over there a few times in the last week and...

...whoa...


They're pimping Dick Morris, squealing about Trump Ads “destroying Hillary Clinton”, and going on about “coming to the realization that it would be worth 4 years of Trump if it would clean the snakes out of the Dem leadership.”

These are sad, unwell people.

[obamanut2012]

17. Yes, it is a pro Trump site

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Sadly, you would surely be wrong now. JPR is unabashedly pro-Trump now

[emulatorloo]

82. You are too smart and too good of a person to continue defending the indefensible

See below:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2523379

[geek tragedy]

6. Objectively yes, the overwhelming preference there is Trump instead

of Clinton.

They now hate Bernie Sanders because he supports Hillary. Just like the Hillaryis44 hate monsters who turned on her when she supported Obama.

http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/bernies-shame-rallies-for-clinton-amid-humiliating-leaks/

They're even cheering on James O'Keefe

http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/the-hill-explosive-undercover-video-reveals-hillary-clinton-camp-mischief/#post-261903

[Fast Walker 52]

43. Ugh!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

46. They were cheering on Trey Gowdy a few weeks ago. nt

[RKP5637]

77. I just looked over there, does not seem very pleasant at all. n/t

[geek tragedy]

79. Because you're a decent human being

A big pile of mud and feces generally attracts pigs

[JI7]

10. yes, they were trolling this site for years

[geek tragedy]

11. And they're not welcome to return nt

[obamanut2012]

19. too late

some are still here

[geek tragedy]

34. they can talk about pets and recipes I guess

but no one's going to be interested in their pretense of "holding her accountable"

[msanthrope]

38. Recipes are good. Tasty. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

94. I like a good pizza recipe as much as anyone

I've enjoyed several JPR pizzas.

[mcar]

48. I expect they will try, though

That whole line of attack on POTUS was just horrible here, for years.

THe beefed up TOS should help.

[obamanut2012]

51. exactly

[Gothmog]

25. I was never impressed with most of the JPR posters

[lovemydog]

12. It's probably debatable.

If I recall correctly its founder was banned from here for encouraging others not to vote for democrats.

I thought many of its posters, when they posted here, were incredibly insensitive toward our Hispanic, black and lbtgq brothers and sisters. I thought many of them actually harassed them and were very full of themselves. I thought many of them were right wing trolls, trying to depress the vote.

I suppose others can reach their own conclusions.

[JNelson6563]

13. They are merely spoiled children

who are truly fundies when it comes to themselves and what they want. I can also promise you they obsess about what goes on here.

They hate like no other....

[NCTraveler]

15. More pro HA Goodman than Trump.

They admire Goodman for his brilliance.

[Renew Deal]

39. They are openly cheering on Trump

And many claim to be voting for him

[NCTraveler]

41. Other than their sexist and brutal dreams of pissing on and killing Clinton....

They have no clue in life. Truly least educated and intelligent among us with a serious fascist bent.

Yes, many many members there have gleefully discussed pissing on and killing Clinton. Add that to their overt racism and bigotry and it is understandable why they would choose Trump. Some of them make Falwell look like a feminist.

[womanofthehills]

69. An argument going on - claiming that Bush was more liberal and better than Obama

a few rational people (very few) but they are definitely in the minority. Sounds very pro Trump to me.

[NurseJackie]

53. Oh, there's a blast from the past.

Whatever happened to him?

[NCTraveler]

54. Trump supporter and possibly a writer for the "Sane" Progressive.

I believe they have both interviewed each other. Bwahahahhaha. Here is some of his more recent brilliance. He is truly a dumb fuck. No clue how people fell for his shit. Extremely transparent.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/author/goodmanauthor-532

Even the Huffers aren't commenting on his crap anymore. He is more the JPR right wing type.

[NurseJackie]

55. You're right about that ... very transparent ...

... as were those who posted his garbage.

[obamanut2012]

18. It was created mainly by fake BoBers who are really wingnuts

Which many of us already knew because of what they had posted over the years.

Some DUers, some very long time ones people think are sweet and nice, somehow started agreeing with them over there and have found a home at JPR. They are the actual BoBers, and that's sad, to see those names there.

But yes, it is a Pro Trump, Hillary Hate site.

Any site that gleefully allow a woman to be called c$$t and b*&^% as much as posters want is not a progressive site.

[yardwork]

22. Why are you surprised? Those posters spit in the eyes of all minorities while on DU.

I'm honestly surprised by the surprise! The trolls who founded JPR were racist, misogynistic, homophobic, anti-Muslim, xenophobic bigots long before they mercifully left DU for greener pastures. For years they defended Zimmerman's right to murder an unarmed black child for the crime of wearing a hoodie at dusk, pimped Putin, and kept up a continuous low level irritable drunken mumbling about our first black president. Accused rapists like Assange were celebrated but Hillary Clinton is "evil" because she stood by her husband blah blah blah.

DU is better without them and I hope they never come back. A few have come back and I totally ignore them.

[Gothmog]

24. Agreed

DU is a better place without these posters

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. I agree.

[sufrommich]

27. Yep,they all have had many right wing opinions right here

on DU and claimed to be "more progressive than thou" for years. The jig is up.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

59. Yep

According to one gays and minorities were suffering from the Stockholm syndrome.

[yardwork]

63. And hundreds of posters recced that thread. Most now on JPR.

[etherealtruth]

66. No surprise from me .... those were my observations

I have never had the urge to even peruse the site as it seemed to be a gathering place for bigots banned from DU.

[Hekate]

91. "Continuous low level irritable drunken mumbling about our first black president"...

Agree with your whole post, but that line is special.

[greatauntoftriplets]

102. The member list over there strongly resembles those blocked from the Obama group here.

That was no surprise to me.

[yardwork]

106. Exactly. /nt

[Gothmog]

23. The JPR posters really believe that Trump is a better candidate than Clinton

The JPR posters are so full of hate that they are happy to support Trump

[sufrommich]

26. They're PUMAs,many of them embraced the right too.

They're a carbon copy of them and just as pathetic.

[grossproffit]

31. Trump is a white nationalist. Much worse, in my opinion.

[mitch96]

29. They sound just like the people

On the pro gun forums.. (keep friends close, enemies closer)
It's spooky they are gonna retaliate if herr gropen fuhrer does not get elected..
Sounds similar to the russian play book. Just disrupt elections.. Cant change the vote, just question the validity of the count.. Worked in the Ukraine, eh?
m

[mcar]

32. It is disappointing

[Demsrule86]

33. It really is a pro-Trump site.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

35. Well, one of it's founders stated that his biggest regret was voting for Obama.

And he admitted to voting for Reagan (and didn't regret that).

He was one of 3 prolific DUers that I called as being a RW troll. Since the new site has started, I see I was correct on all 3.

[Bobbie Jo]

42. Best. Banishment. Ever.

Good riddance to the lot of them.

[emulatorloo]

81. He was "too big to fail" for way too long.

Glad admins finally wised up.

[Adrahil]

45. I honestly think that whole project...

is a giant trolling operation. Fortunately, it's about to EPICALLY fail.

[emulatorloo]

80. yes.

[ismnotwasm]

44. And a woman's right to choose

Nauseating.

[wildeyed]

49. I had to go look.

Many familiar names over there. Couldn't be bothered to read the posts, but I didn't bother much when they were here either.

They spit in the eyes of our Hispanic, AA and LGBTQ siblings for years when they were here too. I don't miss that at all.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

50. Yup

Next

[LostOne4Ever]

58. I hate to admit it but you are 100% correct. Nt

[Starry Messenger]

60. They were spitting in the eyes of all those folks over here all last year.

Thank dog they have someplace elsewhere to do it, not here.

[grossproffit]

62. Check out the KKK thread. ". Well, they need someone to vote for."

http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/the-kkk-endorses-not-jill-not-gary-not-hillary-but-the-donald/


At least some of them are finally seeing who they're posting with.

[ismnotwasm]

64. Goddamn

That is one disturbing thread.

[geek tragedy]

65. what a bunch of evil sacks of shit those JPR deplorables are nt

[emulatorloo]

83. I thought nothing shocked me anymore.

But that shocks me.

[Shivaraja]

97. Looks like an Anti-Hillary thread, not Pro-KKK/Trump

though if that's the best thing that one could say about that thread, then it's hardly an endorsement

[DemocratSinceBirth]

67. Wow. They are citing the National Enquirer lesbian shaming articles.

[ismnotwasm]

68. It truly very strange

I get the impression posters there are trying for? (Well maybe) what they consider logical truth, but end up with a morass of organic spaghetti code with no end to it in sight. A self-imposed brain trap, supported by the "if I say it enough times it will become truth" school of thought.

[Gothmog]

71. I just read a thread on JPR about going all in for Trump

WOW. The JPR posters are supporting Trump now

[Brother Buzz]

72. Jackpine Radical is rolling in his grave, not unlike John Birch

[DemocratSinceBirth]

92. Wasn't he a missionary in China who got killed?/nt

[Brother Buzz]

93. Yes, but he was also a Captain in the US Army

Essentially, he was a Missionary turned spy after he was recruited by the Army. They only learned of him after he met and helped Jimmy Doolittle escape.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

104. I loved Alec Baldwin's portrayal of Jimmy Dolittle in Pearl Harbor.

[Brother Buzz]

107. Doolittle's autobiography, I Could Never Be So Lucky Again, is a great read

It was so great, I read it twice. He led an extraordinary life.

[grossproffit]

73. They're carrying water for James O'Keefe now.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

75. I would respond in kind but I don't want a hide. Thank you for kicking my thread.

[Wounded Bear]

76. Probably more anti-Hillary than actually pro-Trump

Either way, that place is pretty toxic, and I stay away.

[obamanut2012]

96. nah, it's pro Trump now

[Wounded Bear]

105. I'll take your word for it...

the idea of research there is kind of nauseating.

[Gothmog]

86. The JPRs are backing Trump big time

It is really very very sad

[pnwmom]

89. What is sad is that they were able to disrupt conversations here as long as they did. nt

[Andy823]

103. Yes, and sadly

Some are still trying to do that even now, though the numbers are much lower. As has been stated before, as soon as the election is over, and Trump goes down in flames, more of the JPR trolls will show back up here, some with new names of course, and start all over where they left off with president Obama, trashing Hillary on a daily basis, trying to gather a "following" they can manipulate into joining them, and doing their best to undermine her from day one.

[pnwmom]

109. They can try, but Skinner said in ATA that the new rules

will remain in force after the election. No more bashing Democrats.

[LeftInTX]

87. There is so much irrational conspiracy theory stuff over there

It seems to be on the level of Alex Jones.

There is one person that they all love: Julian Assange

They were spreading rumors that Julian had been abducted.......they were all totally crushed.

I'm not a conspiracy theory person, so I can't relate.

[pnwmom]

88. And to think so many of them had been here. nt

[Donald Ian Rankin]

108. It's an anti-Clinton site. "Pro" doesn't really come into it. N.T.

[grossproffit]

111. It's now a pro white supremacist site.

http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/michael-moore-explains-why-trumo-will-win/

[grossproffit]

110. They are truly evil. One of the fuckers just linked to a video by "Jewnathan Kikenberg"

http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/michael-moore-explains-why-trumo-will-win/

Scumbag, pieces of shit.

All high fiving the great find. Sanders supporters my ass.

[betsuni]

112. Taking things out of context, stubbornly wrong about everything -- the usual.

Gullible idiots.
