Remember when all those JPR folks...
...claimed Hillary was much more of a war hawk than tRump?
Trump's record drone kills and now Bolton says they are completely full of shit.

1. Hard to forget those JPR folks, and their lies and bashing of candidate that could have prevented
this crud.

2. Just visited that place.
They are truly nuts. I recognize a lot of the names. What’s the deal with their adoration of Putin? I guarantee they were targets of CA. I have never seen a group so impacted by fake news. They are clearly avid readers and most appear to have a good education. They are also clearly succeptable to conspiracy theories and completely opposed to reality.

13. JPR is a classic example ...
... of how easily-manipulated people are easily manipulated.
They bragged endlessly about how they were "independent thinkers" who refused to be sheep - and then immediately followed every Judas goat that showed up on their site.
From PizzaGate to Hillary's imminent demise from a dozen fatal illnesses, they swallowed every ridiculous story hook, line, and sinker. There was literally no "fake news" story too ridiculous, too ludicrous, too over-the-top that they didn't embrace as "alternate facts" worth believing.
JPR was overrun with RWers from day one, who were later no doubt joined by Russian bots - because who could resist an audience so willing - even anxious - to be misled?

19. They believed PizzaGate ???

22. The JPR admins ...
... eventually came out and stated that PizzaGate posts would be removed after people on other sites started pointing and laughing at JPR.
I don't read Discussionist, but I understand from people who post there that the JPR folks simply moved their PizzaGate discussions to that site.
Surely it doesn't surprise you that they swallowed that story whole - JPR was full of posts about how HRC was walking around in a full body-brace (due to her many illnesses). The day she fell ill during a parade in NYC, they insisted that metal bolts clattered to the ground as she was escorted to a car, and she was then rushed to a "secret hospital" located in Chelsea's apartment building.
Like I said, there was NO story too ludicrous to be dismissed.
It's a long thread, but I noticed none of Skins's primitives blamed the true culprit, much less identied him.
Anyone with a memory can surely recall that when the 2016 was first getting underway, Skippy, the NYC_SKP primitive, expressed concerns about Messalina Agrippina, suggesting perhaps the primitives should favor a different candidate for the Democrat nomination.
Actually, Skippy is afraid of strong, assertive women, such as what Messalina Agrippina was.
Forget that she'd nearly single-handedly rebuilt the busted-down Democrat party of the 1980s, and by 1992 had even gifted the nation with her husband.
Democrats were cool again.
Forget that she'd been a vigorous supporter of all Democrat, liberal, and primitive platforms, including unrestricted abortion, runaway government spending, higher taxes, favorable treatment of minorities favored by the Democrat party, &c., &c., &c.
Here was obviously the worthier of two Democrat candidates in 2008 and 2016. But she got cheated the first time around, by racist Democrats who preferred a
faux black guy in the White House.
The second time, she became dangerously close to being cheated again, thanks to Skippy, who looked around, and found, the guy who nearly beat her, the hoary old white-haired sourassed sourpuss crank from Vermont.
Nobody ever heard of "Bernie Sanders" until Skippy brought him up, made him famous.
