Kudos to "Everyone Who Posts Here"...DU is The Best News Source Around.
Most of us spend time looking for the.. "Latest News"
We get the latest news right here.

...So many of us look at CNN, NY Times, BBC, Washington Post..etc, etc, etc. that if it isn't up at Democratic
Underground, it isn't news. This place is .. "The Place for The Latest News"...AND,............

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DO.
....(It ain't easy to check out one source after another, but it is what we do)...

...................Thanks Again TO EVERYONE FOR ALL THE WORK ON THE LATEST NEWS!!!)
................... (and all the other work in all the forums, including the ..LOUNGE.. (where many of us
...................get relief from the hard work we do..)

...........................THANKS AGAIN...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU !!!..............

8. Whenever I recommend DU to those I know, I tell them that DU is the best news site around!

9. Thanks to you,

DU keeps us sane. It's also noteworthy that several pollys keep an eye on DU.

We all basically have the same goals here, it's just that some of us get there by different routes.

No one here argues against president Biden nor Speaker Pelosi and that says a lot. Best president since FDR and best Speaker ever.

12. I still credit kephra for this. He was a "latest breaking news" legend in du's early days

He dominated the lbn group the way the Beatles dominated the top 10 in the '60s.

Always with the article's title and always with a link, and fast fast fast.

He essentially created the high standards we still strive for today.

So sad he's no longer with us.

14. I have been telling everyone how great the news is on DU

when I discovered it in 2016. Every time I heard a "new" news story I had already read about it on DU. The news here is verified with sources and not "fake".

18. My TV is off until after I've read the news here, especially the comments from

those knowledgeable and gifted analysts here... and even the ever-present herd of gloom-n-doomers.
When I do turn the TV on, there's a level of comfort within me and a much better ability to dissect what I hear.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

This is Momma Khephra. I found Scott slumped over his computer desk this afternoon (around 5p.m.). He was dead. We do not know what happened. The coroner and the Sheriff said there has to be an autopsy. They said whatever it was was instant. If anyone wants to call me my phone number is XXX-XXX-XXXX.

Boiled down, he was a fat unemployed 37 year old who worked so hard at eating and posting Latest Breaking News at the DUmp.  And he's a legend in DUmmies eyes.

Thanks for posting this from the long-ago past.

The problem is, so many people new to Skins' island find some descriptions of their behavior so incredible they don't believe us.

Thanks Mr. Wiggum, I love a story with a happy ending.

He died doing what he loved: whoring for attention on the DUmp and being otherwise utterly useless, except as a back-up in case the planet's gravity failed for any reason.

Reading that entire DUmp thread is quite enlightening.  It reveals a bit of how delusional they truly are.

 I have not the slightest  inkling as to whether they do or not, ...

But for sure, the crazy DUPIPO, have not a clue about anything at all whatsoever!    :rotf:

DUpipo knee-jerkingly refuse to hear news they don't want to be true. A gander at their past 20-24 months of threads about Handsy Andy would be a perfect example. Another would be their threads about Hunter's laptop (have they ever admitted it's entirely real and not a Russian plot?). Or maybe the pneumatic Ms. Throuple ... or ...
