JPR: Obama worse than Bush

In a thread discussing a right-wing militia fantasy: http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/there-will-be-no-second-american-revolution-the-futility-of-an-armed-revolt/

12. Posse Comitatus repealed on 12/31/2011.

President sparkle pony is worse than Bush. Bush did do away with the magna carta. It had only been around since 1215 and we along with others had ignored it anyway. No Black helicopters to worry about. They will drone us.

13. That's when it became official.

Posse Comitatus had been ignored for years through special programs like using military black hawk helicopters to search for pot plants. And spy satellites to check on farmers who claimed subsidies for crops grown or not grown. Plenty of other examples. But it’s getting me pissed off typing thinking about them.

I agree about president sparkle pony. He’s Bush on steroids.


So this is how Leftbart ranks recent Presidents and candidates in terms of desirability:

Trump
Bush
Obama/Hillary

25. JPR is comedy gold!
Sat Aug 27, 2016, 09:22 PM

Yes, it is despicable, hate-oriented, and chock full of conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact - but it is pure comedy gold!

The posters there will literally believe anything if it's anti-Dem, anti-HRC, anti-Obama.

I love the disclaimer - "I can't personally vouch for this site" - when someone posts a link to a blog that originated from someone's mom's basement. But no matter how ludicrous the linked "information" is, it is accepted as fact. The replies to such bullshit are hysterical, e.g. "I KNEW this was the truth all along! Our worst nightmares have now been CONFIRMED! Our long-held suspicions have at last been PROVEN to be true!"

According to JPR, the vast conspiracy behind "stealing" the primary election from Bernie involved hundreds of thousands of Democrats, along with the Obama administration, the MSM, the FBI, the CIA, the DNC, Google, Snopes - and pretty much everyone on the planet.

Did you know that every person on earth who has died in the past year was "murdered" by the Clintons?

Did you know that Bernie Sanders only endorsed HRC after the lives of his grandchildren were threatened?

Did you know that Bernie was "beaten up" by someone from the HRC camp just before his speech at the Convention - and the mark on his face in photos taken that night are proof positive that his assailant was wearing brass knuckles?

And if you DON'T know these things, you're part of The Oligarchy (TM), or you just have your head up your ass. If you'd just read between the lines, you'd KNOW that when Bernie endorsed HRC, what he was REALLY saying was "Vote for Jill Stein". DUH!!! If you'd just interpret the "body language", you'd KNOW that Bernie doesn't mean a thing he says!

I admit to a certain addiction to reading JPR - it is beyond entertaining. I highly recommend it for those who need a good over the next few months - which is probably as long as the site will exist.

It was painfully easy, thanks to the way the dip-shit admins organized that pitiful vomitorium, to simply show their post totals as proof that it was never really about Bernie at all. JPR is just a swamp full of Dem-hating rat-fuckers and sore losers who exist only to top each other's expressions of hate for the Democratic nominee.







Their new format doesn't show post totals for each category. They believe somehow that this makes their idiocy less quantifiable.

Wrong is the one thing they really do well as a group.

The only sources reporting on this "news" are RT and Sputnik News. Yeah those are the ones that tell it like it is, not like the $hillary backing MSM! Maybe later they'll post some more Breitbart articles like that enlightening one about how Khizir Khan is a Saudi intelligence asset.

In this thread you'll see a lot of familiar names, many who are still active here, http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/new-members-check-in-thread/.

And I imagine many more will try to return after the election once their site no longer serves a purpose. The question will be, by what standards of civility will we be held to when "welcoming" them back.

at a site where the Democratic candidate has been called horrible names, and still post comfortably here? I'm not judging you. However, there are other DU members over there who are doing more than just being friendly, and pushing their talents. And pretty much all DU members are aware of the ugliness that perpetuated that site, so those who choose to participate can't really back away from it. Own your membership at JPR at your own risk, just don't be surprised if you're no longer welcomed here with open arms. That said, I'm a 55 yo woman who was never into your thing, so it's neither here nor there.

I never expect anyone to like what I like. TO each their own. Yes I will own it because its there for all to see. I don't really judge people, but I have been. I have even been attacked by xenophobes from this website for speaking Japanese. But hey, not everyone is comfortable with that either. I love my music. I will post it anywhere people will listen, as I said. I don't participate in the hate fest. I have already said, as a Bernie Supporter, I will vote for Hillary. People know that and know me. I have never been a troll. I run the ASIAN group here and I run the International Music group there. All I do is post music in another language as others do there. IF people want to condemn me for that, as the Young Turks say, "Have at it Hoss!" I have always been kind to people where ever I go. I have a history here and people know who I am. I am no one special, but I try to be the best I can be. Its all anyone can ask for.

There are people who are openly hoping Trump wins. I can't support that. Too many people will be hurt, and the issues I care most about would be set back decades if that happens.

Beside, I agree with Hillary on 93% of the issues. On her worst day she is 100x better than Dump on his best day.[/font]
