    No one knows fake news like Doug Ross. Ask him about Obama shutting down Republican auto dealerships just after the start of the Great Recession, LOL. Ol’ Doug was brave and came out of hiding a while later.

  2. drowningpuppies says:

    The link was to The Peoples Cube, dipshit.

  3. Rev.Hoagie® says:

    Reading the People’s Cube Guide To Fake News was like reading any one of Jeffery’s posts. They must all get their marching orders subliminally planted in their thick skulls while they sleep. (And dream how great America would be if only Castro not the white devil Washington was it’s founder, and islam rather than Christianity it’s base).

  4. drowningpuppies says:

    The Peoples Cube is a satirical site that mocks lefties like the little guy.

  5. Rev.Hoagie® says:

    I had seen the name before drowningpuppies, but You got me to click over. Now I have it saved. There is a lot of good stuff there. I’ll need to spend some time checking it out. I also found Michele Obamas Mirror thanks to Teach and that’s great too.

    Crooked Donnie canceled his press conference where he was to describe his plan for handling his business ties.

    Crooked Donnie’s debt load:

    http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/12/guide-donald-trump-debt

    $950 million jointly to Goldman Sachs and Bank of China.

    $364 million to Deutshe Bank

    $282 million to Ladder Capital, on the block to be sold.

    And many more.

    Wisconsin recount completed….

    Trump gains 162 MORE VOTES….WI firmly in Trumps column.

    The left after going batshit crazy about Trump saying the election is rigged and told him to shut up and accept the outcome……

    HAVE NOW….declared the election WAS RIGGED and they want a do over……..lolololol.

    This is why Nixon in 1960 did not demand a recount in Illinois….which cost him the presidency……

    he knew it would rip the country assunder if he did this and now heres the Democrats trying to recount Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania…..and accusing Trump of literally being a communist agent….

    You know a communist that no one studies in school anymore cause it would give the right a reason to demand a strong military.

    So now they are trying to pull out every card up the sleeve hoping something sticks.

    In the meantime another 1000 leftist heads explode today in unrelated news…..

    And of course when Hillary did not hold press conferences at all, Jeffery was silent.

    Maybe he was too busy abusing his wife. Have you told her what you called her yet Jeffery?

    So many strange things about the Russians. Ever think it may be a false flag and actually be democrat operatives making it look like Russians? I ask you: would the real Russians leave a trail? I think not.

  13. Jeffery says:

    Laim,

    Conservative’s response to Trumpski’s Kremlin problems proves what we’ve been saying all along. Trumpski declared he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose a supporter (especially if he shot a Black man, immigrant, Muslim or Gay!), and he was right! Who would have thought that Trumpski could bring the Russians to our shores and his supporters would throw American under the bus!

  14. drowningpuppies says:

    Who would have thought that Trumpski could bring the Russians to our shores and his supporters would throw American under the bus!

    Only someone as stupid as you.

  15. Jeffery says:

    The President-elect of the United States of America, Traitor Trumpski, in defending the Kremlin, attacked the US Central Intelligence Agency.

    Joe Walsh thinks that may be treason.

    What little moral authority conservatism had has been lost.

  16. drowningpuppies says:

    Like I typed before, only someone as stupid as you.

  17. gitarcarver says:

    The President-elect of the United States of America, Traitor Trumpski, in defending the Kremlin, attacked the US Central Intelligence Agency.

    You mean the people that have anonymously said “there might be something there?”

    The democrats are desperately trying to get away from the fact that what was leaked was accurate.

    As usual, they want to shoot the messenger instead of dealing with the message. No one in the DNC or Hillary camp has denied anything that was released but it is all Trump’s fault.

    The Obama and the DHS has not answered why the DHS tried to hack and break through the Georgia Secretary of State firewall. They probably think that is Trump’s fault too.

    Joe Walsh thinks that may be treason.

    It isn’t, so Walsh can think whatever he wants. We know that you agree with him because you would rather deal with a charge of treason than Hillary’s actual breaking of the law.

    Thank goodness she’ll never be president, eh?

    What little moral authority conservatism had has been lost.

    How so?

    We aren’t the ones who try to keep minorities down. Liberals are. We aren’t the ones with a candidate that broke the law and put the US in jeopardy. Liberals are. We aren’t the ones who are trying to divide the country on race, creed, etc. Liberals are.

    We aren’t the ones advocating the killing of children. Liberals are.

    We aren’t the ones who think abusing and raping women is okay.

    You do.

  18. drowningpuppies says:

    We aren’t the ones who…

    got curbstomped politically for the next several generations.

  19. Jeffery says:

    Russian communist Vladimir Putin installed the 45th president of the US, Traitor Trumpski.

    It’s interesting that the amoral right supports the right of Russians to steal information from the US and US citizens. Anything is ‘moral’ if it maintains power, including crawling in bed with the Russians.

    This exposes the hypocrazy of the American right. One moral: power.

  20. gitarcarver says:

    Russian communist Vladimir Putin installed the 45th president of the US, Traitor Trumpski.

    Evidence please.

    It’s interesting that the amoral right supports the right of Russians to steal information from the US and US citizens.

    The RNC and the DNC still have the information, Jeffery. It was not “stolen.”

    What the information was used was to show how horrible a candidate and person Hillary Clinton was and is.

    You just hate that the DNC was exposed for what it is.

    Anything is ‘moral’ if it maintains power, including crawling in bed with the Russians

    Once again, there is no evidence that anyone from Trump to the RNC worked with the Russians. Is it “moral” for you to continually lie like you do?

    Furthermore, you and the left are working day and night to steal the results of an election.

    Don’t talk about “theft” until you deal with your own actions.

    This exposes the hypocrazy of the American right.

    The woman abuser and rapist wants to talk about “exposure.” How ironic.

    When Julian Assange leaked classified information, you and your leftist buddies applauded. When they leaked truthful, non classified information on Hillary, you scream like a stuck pig.

    You have no moral or ethical ground upon which to stand.

  21. Liam Thomas says:

    The President-elect of the United States of America, Traitor Trumpski, in defending the Kremlin, attacked the US Central Intelligence Agency.

    thats because the DNI says wait a minute we dont have solid proof of anything…yet the CIA claims they have solid proof as Obama’s lawn boy at the CIA claims the Russians are coming….the Russians are coming.

    You have to remember that a weak minded, sniveling lil harvard elite has been prez for 8 years and during that time he has apologized to everyone about everything….

    IF ANYONE is responsible for the Russians meddling in our election its the policies of the worst president in the history of presidents…..yeah he might be popular but thats because 50 million kiddos with their I phones are more interested in what the next text message says then what the RUSSIANS are doing…….

    now all of a sudden its the RUSSIANS are COMING and the kiddos are like….wait….what? Who are the Russians……….we musta missed that class in school.

  22. Liam Thomas says:

    .yeah he might be popular but thats because 50 million kiddos with their I phones are more interested in what the next text message says then what the RUSSIANS are doing…….

    Which brings me to the next point….UNFILTERED NEWS……Trump is using TWITTER to get his message out and the MSM is livid…….they cant alter what he says, change how he says it, Imply a certain tone…..NOTHING….

    THE MSM is OUT……gone….close the door….everyone just needs to tune into Twitter to hear what Trump said or thinks….NOT the NY TIMES who then turns the selection of Mother Teresea into an evil monster who will burn all the forest in the world and make every woman be chained to a bed and have kids until the old man is too old to do it anymore……

    THE MSM IS DEAD…….LONG LIVE TWITTER.

  23. Jeffery says:

    Trumpski is lighting it up with brilliant insights, that’s for sure. Sad.

    Trumpski is a liar. He makes shit up a twit-errs it out. He attacks TV shows, private citizens and Broadway shows. Unfair.

    And you’re being dense. The prez can command an audience any time he wishes. He can get every one of his pronouncements on TV if he wants. His twit-errs limits his wondrous prose to 144 characters. Apologize.

    By the way, what’s he most profound twit so far? Hahahahaha

    Trumpski twits because he has the attention span of middle schooler. Embarrassing.

  24. Liam Thomas says:

    Its so funny watching you Jeffery….

    All the personal attacks on Trump are comical….A billionaire who is highly successful in all that he does….

    A person who decides to run for president and makes it happen….with little to no help and the entire world against him….

    I can see how this is such a repudiation of everything a far left liberal stands for….

    the notion that Intellectual Elitism is the only qualification to hold the presidency….How the left spent 8 years trying to make GWB appear as a small minded nitwit…..

    Comical…how the world was shattered for Cupcake Elites. How a gruff speaking, Politically incorrect billionaire could ascend to the presidency without their consent.

    All I can do is laugh at the ineptitude of the left right now…..championed by HRC and Bernie Sanders….one who steals everyone blind and the other who wants to steal everyone blind and give it to children so they dont have to work for anything.

    What a party of total chaos…..All around the world the idea of Socialism and Globalism is crashing and burning as the ordinary people in EU come to realize how duped they have been in the last 40 years.

    Too funny….and sad too.

  25. Rev.Hoagie® says:

    It really is fun watching Jeffery twist and turn inside out since Stinky lost. America gave her and all her followers the middle finger and Jeffery still doesn’t get it. You would think he would at least stop saying the same refuted nonsense over and over. It sounds insane.

    One would figure at this point he would invite suggestions on where to go from here. Perhaps try and work with the winners instead of continuing to call everyone who he disagrees with names. I guess rational thought is asking too much from a religious leftist zealot.

    Joe Walsh thinks that may be treason.

    Perhaps if Jeffrey actually knew the definition of treason. Treason is the only crime defined in the Constitution:

    Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. — Article III, Section 3

    We are not at war with Russia, nor are we even ‘enemies’ with that country, under any definition of law.

    So, what is Russia actually accused of doing? If the stories are true, Russian intelligence was the one that phished and hacked the DNC and John Podesta’s e-mails, and gave the information to WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks then published the e-mails. It can be argued that the Russians were pernicious in hacking, but the problem for the left’s arguments is the content of those e-mails, not the source. The Democrats have not seriously claimed that the e-mails released were falsified. (A couple of lame attempts were made, at first, but the denials went nowhere.)

    What the left are combitching about is that the voters had accurate information about what the Clintonistae thought about them. They want to deflect attention away from the content by hammering on the source.

  27. Dana says:

    Jeffrey wrote:

    [Guffaws!] The Russians spy on us, we spy on them, everybody spies on everybody. Have you forgotten: President Obama had to apologize to German Führer Chancellor Angela Merkel because the NSA had tapped her phone, and had been tapping it since at least 2002. President Obama was personally informed that such was happening in 2009, and allowed it to continue until Edward Snowden disclosed the information.

    The British spy on us, the Israelis spy on us, all of our allies spy on us, and we spy on all of them; only a naïf would think otherwise.

    This time, the Russians may have gotten a leg up on us in spying. If the Russians were the source of the WikiLeaks material, and if the exposed e-mails actually did change the course of the election, then the Russians actually did the United States a favor.

    Supposedly, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin hates Hillary Clinton, which would be his motive. Other than that, it wouldn’t make any sense, because under President Obama and Secretary Clinton, the Russian Federation pushed the US around like a bully shoving a weakling. I’m not sure how we could be more accommodating to Russia under Donald Trump than we have been under Barack Hussein Obama.

  28. Dana says:

    The esteemed Paul Krugman showed just what the left think of the Basket of Deplorables. Dr Krugman tweeted:

    People voted Trump to spite liberals who (they imagined) thought them ignorant, are now shocked that they may lose health care. Just saying

    .

    Amazing! Dr Krugman said people imagined that liberals thought them ignorant, and then says they cast ignorant votes. You can’t make up [insert slang term for feces here] like that!

    Are you getting a clue yet?

  29. Jeffery says:

    Take it up with Joe Walsh (the insane Republican, not the Eagle). And you’ll need to ask Putin why he wanted Trumpski to win. Perhaps he believes the Tillersonski and Trumpski will work to lift the economic sanctions. Or weaken NATO.

    Again, conservatives not only defend, but celebrate the involvement of a foreign country in our elections.

    I hate using counterfactuals as it is Teach’s favorite (only) rhetorical device but: If any Dem had the relations with Russia that Trumpski has, conservatives would be going crazy. They went batshit crazy when they imagined that Sec Clinton’s server was insecure. Emails!! Remember?

  30. Rev.Hoagie® says:

    They went batshit crazy when they imagined that Sec Clinton’s server was insecure. Emails!! Remember?

    Are you saying the emails and info rom the DNC contained Top Secret U.S. Government and Military information on them that the Ruskie’s hacked? How is screwing with the DNC the same as espionage?

    If Obama knew of the hacking why did he do nothing to stop it? Why has he done absolutely nothing for cyber security while prez? They hacked at least fifteen different entities and Obama did nothing.

    And if you want a counterfactual, if Stinky had won we wouldn’t be hearing a thing. BTW, China had 50 million names and info from IRS hacking.

  31. Jeffery says:

    Like many, Professor Krugman is likely amazed that so many poor and middle class conservatives consistently vote against their own economic self-interest. It’s not that they are ignorant, but it indicates they are driven by more than their own selfish and family interests. For many, they support conservatism for religious reasons – anti-abortion, support of Christianity, anti-LGBT, anti-science (which contradicts many fundamentalist beliefs). This election revealed that many on the far-right are threatened by diversity in race, country of origin and religion. Finally, conservatives tend to vote their fears and favor authoritarian leaders. This is why right-wing demagogues can reliable motivate their voters by threatening that Dems will abolish the 2nd Amendment. Many formerly solid Dems switched after 9/11, seeking leaders to assuage their fears.

    That’s not to say that Democratic elites have been any more than a bit better than Republicans on the less obvious causes of working class strife. Dems and Reps both cater to Wall Street, the corporate world and the wealthy in general, but this support is under the radar and never discussed by the incompetent corporate media. Our Congress enact policies that support the already wealthy: taxes, labor, fiscal, monetary, immigration, trade… the fight is not between right and left but between rich and poor.

  32. Jeffery says:

    Rev Stinky,

    No doubt the info on Sec Clinton’s server was more important than John Podesta’s. On the other hand it’s pretty clear that Podesta was hacked and the information was released to embarrass and harm a candidate for president. How much damage it did is debatable, but it was an incredibly close election that was essentially a split decision. Sec Clinton won millions more votes overall – put another way – the American voters favored the flawed and awful Sec Clinton over Donnie “Old Man Smell” Trump, who won narrow victories in a few battleground states.

  33. gitarcarver says:

    Again, conservatives not only defend, but celebrate the involvement of a foreign country in our elections.

    Again,. there is no proof that a foreign government had anything to do with the Democrats stupidity.

    Here’s what the NY Times and other outlets are reporting:

    1) The FBI called the DNC and said “we are seeing some activity on our networks and yours. Check security.
    2) That information went nowhere.
    3) The FBI called again over several weeks repeated the same “make sure your systems are secure” notice.
    4) The Clintons and the DNC did NOTHING.
    5) The DNC and the Hillary campaign got a standard “phishing” email saying that the person’s Gmail accounts were hacked. The email said “use this link to reset your password.” Of course, the link went to another site and not to Google.
    6) A Clinton aide named Charles Delavan responded to informational requests on the email and said the emails were “legitimate” and recommended that the people reset their password asap. His response showed the IP of the phishing emails to be from the Ukraine. (Gee, the Gmail servers for US emails are in the US. A 12 year old would know that there would not be a notice from Google in the Ukraine about email servers in the US.)
    7) Delaven says he meant to type that the emails were “illegitimate” and not :legitimate.” That makes no sense as one would say “not legitimate” instead of “illegitimate” and if there was no worry that anything was compromised, the instructions would be to ignore and delete the email – not “reset your password now.”

    Once the DNC and people like Podesta gave the hackers their passwords, the hackers had access to over 60,000 emails, many of which were embarrassing and showed illegal activity.

    The DNC and the Hillary campaign through their stupidity gave the hackers the information to get to the emails by falling for a phishing scam that the rest of the working world knows not to do.

    The bottom line is there is no evidence that the Russian government was involved in this. There is no evidence that the probing of the network resulted in the emails being exposed. They gave the hackers the keys to the emails.

    In summary:

    There is evidence (statements from the DNC workers and campaign workers) that the DNC ignored warnings from the FBI.

    There is evidence that the DNC and the Clinton campaign fell for a phishing scam, but there is no evidence that the scam was directed at them at all.

    The hackers got lucky and the DNC / Clinton campaign were idiots.

    The DNC was not “hacked” in a manner that people like to think. It was not some group or guy sitting at a desk in the night trying to find a way past a firewall or a back door into the system. Were the Russian hackers probing? Yes. But they were also probing the RNC as well.

    What allowed the emails to come out was the stupidity of the DNC and the Hillary Campaign.

    Instead of ‘fessin’ up and admitting their total incompetence, liberals, the DNC and the Hillary campaign want to blame everyone else.

  34. gitarcarver says:

    If any Dem had the relations with Russia that Trumpski has, conservatives would be going crazy.

    You mean like this?

    They went batshit crazy when they imagined that Sec Clinton’s server was insecure. Emails!! Remember?

    As someone has already said, there doesn’t seem to be any classified information that was in the emails released by Wikileaks. The situations are not comparable in any sense.

    On the other hand it’s pretty clear that Podesta was hacked …

    Except it wasn’t hacked in the traditional sense. The information was obtained by phishing. Podesta (and others) gave the hackers the password(s). There is no evidence that the phishing was targeted at the DNC. None.

    All that happened was that the DNC and the Clinton campaign showed how woefully stupid they are when dealing with electronic systems.

    In short, the accusations of “hacking” are going to come back and bite the DNC, Hillary and the left in the butt.

    Furthermore, the emails exposed the illegal and unethical activities of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Why is Jeffery fighting so hard to keep that level of corruption and illegal activity quiet?

    Because he and other liberals have no ethics and no morals.

  35. gitarcarver says:

    So once again, according to Jeffery’s article, Democrats are victims of phishing.

    What is truly bizarre is that the NY Times, who was actively in the tank for Democrats and especially Hillary, is now trying to say “look over there!”

    The Democrats’ skull-drudgery and illegal activities were exposed, and they don’t like it.

    (At the same time, does anyone remember the Dems creaming about Ted Kennedy actively seeking the Russians to work with him against Reagan? Yeah, I don’t either.)

  36. Liam Thomas says:

    Have I not been calling attention to communism since I arrived at this site many months if not years ago? I have worked in many communist nations….I have dealt with many communist politicians and bureaucrats and its not a pretty site….They expect their palms to be greased and this type of behavior is normal for them.

    Outting a political opponent is always a target of opportunity.

    But lets be honest….Trump was seen by the Russians as someone they could work with, not someone who would rubber stamp their actions…..HRC meddled in the affairs of the Russians own politics. This was payback….

    This was the Russians laughing at Obama and progressive world views for one last time…..

    the fact that suddenly a generation of people that have not been taught a thing about communism are suddenly up in arms over their candidate losing an election vs the murder and mayhem caused by communism around the world is quite telling about the DNC and the left…..

    Leave us alone….kill as many as you like….as long as we can put our dicks where we want and have our Iphones then all is good with the world….and THAT is why the Democrats were crushed by a madman running for president on the other side….

    The Russians are coming….The Russians are coming…..is laughable….they have been coming since 1916…. It just is not politically correct to teach the concept that the USA has enemies….our way of life has enemies…because the progressive way of life is attracted to the basic ideals of Communism….its just all the evil garbage that goes with it that they choose to ignore……..

    Which is why now…suddenly the Russians are coming…..has caught them totally unprepared to deal with the legitimate threat that is Russia/Communism.

  37. Rev.Hoagie® says:

    Like many, Professor Krugman is likely amazed that so many poor and middle class conservatives consistently vote against their own economic self-interest.

    So you, like the douche Krugman, presume to know the “economic self interest” of poor and middle class conservative (or any affiliation) citizens? Exactly what great knowledge gives you the ability to know more about a person you don’t even know than they do about themselves?

    It’s not that they are ignorant, but it indicates they are driven by more than their own selfish and family interests.

    Then you condescend to let them know they’re not ignorant. No, no, they’re just driven by more than their own self interest. Wow. So you admit you and your ilk care only about and are driven by your own selfish self interest. We are not surprised. That’s why you’ll never see a flag pin on a democrat. They aren’t interested in America, only what America can selfishly do for them.

    So in conclusion you think you know what’s best for poor and middle class conservatives because being more selfish you are blessed by super-human intelligence. Yeah, sure.

    And you wonder why you lost.

  38. Rev.Hoagie® says:

    BRW Jeffery, exactly how many “poor and middle class” American conservatives do you and that lying, hypocrite, asshole Krugman know? Did you guys all those folks have dinner this week? Just wondering.

    Paul Krugman–the economic consultant that kept telling Enron, “Hey guys, I’m a Nobel Laureate and everything is just fine. Nothing to worry about, trust me.”

  40. Jeffery says:

    It’s not that hard to know that a young man working his butt off and making $32K a year would prefer to make more and have a more optimistic outlook for his family. Maybe you think he would prefer to have Social Security privatized rather than protected, but I disagree. Maybe you think he prefers to have his local taxes increased to replace federal funds cut because of income tax cuts for the rich. You may think he prefers dangerous bridges, traffic jams, dirty air and dirty water, but I disagree. The US economy generates some $19 trillion in goods and services each year, or over $150,000 for every US family. Obviously, not everyone shares in this, and rightly so. But much of the imbalance is generated by Washington policy, not “natural” market forces. If he is ignorant of the machinations of the DC elites, he’s in good company.

    Our monetary policy is such to balance employment with inflation, always erring on the side of more unemployment and little to no inflation. Tighter employment markets always means wage increases.

  41. drowningpuppies says:


    But much of the imbalance is generated by Washington policy, not “natural” market forces.

    And it’s called Obamacare.

  42. Rev.Hoagie® says:

    It’s not that hard to know that a young man working his butt off and making $32K a year would prefer to make more and have a more optimistic outlook for his family.

    But that’s not what you said when you wrote: “Professor Krugman is likely amazed that so many poor and middle class conservatives consistently vote against their own economic self-interest.” The inference there is that they are stupid rubes and Krugman knows better. Honestly, I don’t know any young man “working his butt off” making $250K a year that wouldn’t prefer to make more, keep more of what he made and have amore optimistic outlook for his family. Do you? BTW, you can plug in any amount of income you want people always want to do better. But what gives people of all incomes a “more optimistic outlook” is being able to keep more of what he earns with lower taxes, not being thwarted at every attempt to improve his lot with mounds of innocuous regulations and not being told by “Krugman’s” who think they know better what to buy like health insurance.

    Maybe you think he would prefer to have Social Security privatized rather than protected, but I disagree.

    You can disagree but why can’t I privatize part of my own? What give YOU the right to tell me I can’t privatize? I’m sure you have IRA’s or other retirement plans, don’t you? Which has made you more money, them or SS? Which can you use when you need it ? Which can you leave to your children? Why do you commies fight so hard to keep the control of our own retirement money out of our hands and in the hands of government people who neither know nor give a rats ass about us?

    Maybe you think he prefers to have his local taxes increased to replace federal funds cut because of income tax cuts for the rich.

    Do you honestly believe a stupid statement like that? Because if you do you’re a hopeless illiterate of basic economics.

    You may think he prefers dangerous bridges, traffic jams, dirty air and dirty water, but I disagree.

    First of all, we all pay local taxes, fees, tolls and gas taxes to pay to maintain bridges an roads. They are not the business of the feds. Secondly if the bridges are “dangerous” and the traffic is jammed (like it is deliberately in NYC by DeBlasios orders) it’s the state and local politicians fault. Throw them out like we just did to the filthy bums in DC.

    The US economy generates some $19 trillion in goods and services each year, or over $150,000 for every US family. Obviously, not everyone shares in this, and rightly so. But much of the imbalance is generated by Washington policy, not “natural” market forces. If he is ignorant of the machinations of the DC elites, he’s in good company.

    Yep! Most of the imbalance is generated by Washington policy and the Krugman’s of the country thinking they have divine right to pick winners and losers. Your answer for government mismanagement is more , but different, government management. Mine is less government altogether. IOW, if it can be done by the city keep the state out of it. If it needs the state keep the feds out of it. If it requires the feds it better be in the Constitution or tuff shit, it ain’t getting done.
