1. Wtf???

[TexasTowelie]

2. Using Google translate:

Comrades! Our plan was detected: http://bit.ly/2orCFbN. We hasten to show good faith by posting site with three white guys, one secretly married kaznachee Hillary!

[fun n serious]

3. ??

I don't get it. Help me understand.

[TexasTowelie]

5. The link takes you to this article on Raw Story:

Russians used ‘Bernie Bros’ as ‘unwitting agents’ in disinformation campaign: Senate Intel witness

Chalk it up to April Fool's Day humor.

[fun n serious]

7. Ah, Thank you!

[TexasTowelie]

10. I've grown accustomed to this type of humor.

When I was a layout editor with the weekly college newspaper, The Megaphone, there was the tradition of producing an entire satire edition on April Fool's Day called The Megaphool. In 1983, toward the height of popularity of Boy George, the entire front page included a picture of the new president (Roy Shilling) with a hat and long locks, then calling him Boy Roy a reference to him being a charmelion on some of the contradictory policies from the administration.

I don't think that the administration really liked any of us after that stunt.

26. George Carlin says, to make something funny take one thing to the extreme. JPR's "joke" doesn't.

.


Their "joke" is 100% believable. It does not even verge on the realm of satire, like an Onion article.


The problem with Republicans, and Russians who pretend to be Democrats is...

they lack introspection and the sense of humor to realize how to craft humor.

[DesertRat]

4. Wow!

[Cary]

12. I would have guessed it said:

Boris: Rock fall off cliff crushing moose and squirrel.

Natasha: You genius Boris.

Boris: I know Natasha.

[DFW]

25. Weird phrase

женился на казначее Хиллари----"married to the treasurer Hillary."

Sure.

I don't know what was meant by that, but it sounds like someone put some kind of English phrase into a translation site, had no idea whether the Russian translation was accurate or not (I suspect not) and then re-posted it.

Either the people at that site are a little desperate for entertainment, or someone "helped them out."

[treestar]

28. yeah they probably mean something like

"bankster loving" or the like as they are forever accusing Hillary of cozying up to Wall street

[DFW]

30. Still sounds awfuly childish

I guess whether or not some idiot meant it seriously, or it was put up there by some hacker will be determined soon enough--just check to see if it's still there in a few hours. If it's not taken down, poor them. From what I've seen and heard about that site, though, it just doesn't seem right. Why would they post in Russian, and then post something close to gibberish?

And NO ONE in Russia uses "товарищи ("comrades&quot any more except when making a joke.

[synergie]

45. It was a poorly executed joke.

Belied by the feed from employees of RT running on the right.

Gibberish is something they specialize in, they just don't have much of a sense of humor.

[DFW]

46. Extremists of all stripes are usually devoid of humor

Nature of the beast.

[treestar]

27. I got treasurer Hillary

Comrades! Our plan was found: http://bit.ly/2orCFbN. We hasten to show good faith by posting a site with three white guys, one secretly married to the Treasurer Hillary!

[George II]

47. This is the translation I got:

Товарищи! Наш план был обнаружен: http://bit.ly/2otO5fm. Мы спешим проявить добросовестность, разместив сайт с тремя белыми парнями, один тайно женился на казначее Хиллари!

Comrades! Our plan was found: http://bit.ly/2otO5fm. We hasten to show good faith by posting a site with three white guys, one secretly married to the Treasurer Hillary!

[hrmjustin]

6. Who owns and runs that site?

[qdouble]

17. Moscow

[Jamaal510]

18. I thought it was Manny Goldstein. nt

[Squinch]

20. Same thing.

[zappaman]

40. !!!!

[TexasTowelie]

43. Hey there!

I haven't seen you around for what seems like ages. I hope that all is going well.

[zappaman]

48. Less arguing online

Much more involved in real life politics.
Keep resisting!

[TexasTowelie]

50. It's definitely more effective

and probably better for your sanity also.

[hrmjustin]

44. Good to see you back!

[zappaman]

49. Resist

[Cha]

8. Bunch a BullShit.

[TexasTowelie]

11. I'll take bullshit for $800

if you can put that in Cyrillic.

[Cha]

13. .. oh it qualifies..

[zappaman]

41. They sure like them Russians, eh?

[JesterCS]

9. You realize they do that

Just to mess with DU and FR right?

[Cha]

14. It only emphasizes they're pawns for putin.

[pnwmom]

16. No. That's what they want people to think -- that it's all a big joke and Putin hasn't been

interfering in our elections.

But he has. And it's been obvious since the Snowden/Greenwald/Assange debacle.

[synergie]

15. If only their content didn't make this less a joke than a confession.

So that Lee Camp of RT and the numerous posts on their site since their inception has all been an April fools joke for 2017? That's some dedication for a tepid joke.

[C Moon]

19. I was there when they first began and I think it was done to help some through that election.

Those were emotional days.
In fact, a rule they had early on was NOT to post bad things about DU.
But as time went on, the posts started reading more and more right wing, and then I started seeing pro Putin posts.
I figured they were having a tough time with keeping the trolls out. It was strange, so I never went back.

[MuseRider]

38. I was there early on too

and wager there are probably still a lot of good people and a lot of interesting discussion there. I ended up staying away from DU and never getting very involved at JPR. I find I do not mind at all being where people disagree or think in real different ways than I do because I always learn things. Still, I have not gone back even to read. DU has always been my home but I don't spend much time here either except to read. People here cannot seem to be comfortable with thinking outside the mainstream Dem thoughts. Sadly that limits us but it is a great place to get news and I do still have some old friends here.

[LonePirate]

51. I wouldn't say people here are uncomfortable discussing ideas outside mainstream Dem ideology.

DU seems to embrace realistic and pragmatic solutions most (but not all) of the time. People want solutions and they want them implemented.

JPR often seems like fantasy land to me. They are so anti-free trade over there that is has blinded them to the true reality of things: (1) that automation and innovation is by far the #1 reason for decreased manufacturing jobs, not bad trade deals and (2) there is an ever widening gap between the skills employers want from their employees and the skills those potential employees actually possess. The days of supporting a family with a manufacturing job and a high school diploma or long gone.

[End Of The Road]

21. It's an April Fools joke

Honestly, some of you need to get a grip.

[Demsrule86]

23. Well this may be an April's fool joke...I immediately thought that too... so do others

I imagine. But there is no doubt the Russian and Trump trolls were there during the 2016 election spewing their lies and many them are the useful idiots of the 21st century.

[Demsrule86]

22. Did you all know ...I went over and there it was Russian words...April Fools?

Did you know that Marym ran for Congress in Ohio...I think Montgomery county. She has post under 2018 elections asking for money...so she lost.

[ismnotwasm]

24. I get the joke

But isn't that a designated hate site?

[cwydro]

29. I think this was a stupid April fool joke.

Silly for them and silly to bring it here.

[Foamfollower]

31. Those assholes are so stupid they don't even realize they're Putin's useful idiots.

Instead they post stupid shit April Fools jokes little knowing they're the fools.

[m-lekktor]

32. They are mocking folks who believe in the big russia conspiracy for April Fools obviously.

Bringing it here is, I am sure, what they wanted! Congratulations you played right into their hands!

[MuseRider]

33. My guess is this was meant just for you all

who make it such a habit of going over there and posting about it here. They won. Good grief.

[ecstatic]

36. You think the idiots are the ones who voted for Clinton?

Name one thing trump has done for you.

[kcr]

37. "No wonder you voted for HER" So, just how is this a joke then?

Ha ha?

[ismnotwasm]

39. It *is* a joke

Traffic down over there?

[ananda]

35. Geezus!

They have completely ridden off the rails!

So sad.

I haven't looked at that site in months.

I went over there some when DU was down,
but not since.

[mreilly]

42. That site is a complete shithole...

... and I have never read a single thing of value on it. It seems to consist mainly of butthurt crybabies who are mad that they weren't taken seriously here. Garbage in, garbage out...

[lapucelle]

52. It's a prank devised by idiots

who don't even understand the allegation concerning the spamming of pro-Sanders social media sites by Russian bots. They seem to think they are being accused of writing the fake news rather than being laughed at for believing it.

[delisen]

53. People who yearn for the Strong Man, the Ubermensch, authoritarians

to the the Left of us, authoritarians to the Right of us-but somehow we keep on truckin.'

When people carry on about their Leader-Worship, I feel embarrassed for them-voters not yet ready for the prime time of democracy.


Falling in love with Julian Assange, however, is beyond the pale.
