I'm not certain of the rules for posting links to DU so I will simply relay the info.
I was looking to see how DU was taking Biden picking Harris, given that her prosecutorial record isn't well-liked in many leftist circles. I stumbled upon a post titled
So Long, and Thanks for All the (Swedish) Fish
In that post, the prior, long-time owner David Allen (aka skinner) disclosed that he sold DU a few weeks ago to Dave Allsopp (aka EarlG), a long-time DU Administrator and co-founder.
I searched but didn't see that this news was posted on FR.
There can be all sorts of reasons for cashing out, though it's an odd time to do so.
Knowing what the enemy is up to should be part of a complete breakfast.
Mitt Romney bought DU.
LOL
Love that movie and those were a riot.
You’re theory must be wrong. It would imply that a leftist is actually capable of strategic thought beyond the next soundbite and that he cares about economic reality.
Second time I’ve seen that link promoted here today.Interesting that https://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm
still links to Drudge but not to Rantingly . . .
I have one word I use on Facebook for the DU - Democratic Underground: Duh
FYI. I guess it is no longer a cash cow for Mr. & Mrs. Skinner.
Bev Harris is just $10 away from making Kerry President!
Perhaps Mr and/Mrs Former DU is now part of the Biden or Harris retinu, and this cash-out is for arms-length transacting/soliciting purposes?
>>>What’s a “Democratic Underground”<<<
Dead and Buried Democrats who still Vote in every Election.
I’m sure John Lewis can’t wait for early Voting to kick in.
In doing some research to answer the "why" behind the cash-out now, I read that in 2015, research showed that the fifth highest dollar amount of payments from then Senator Hillary Clinton for her campaign was to a Shelly Moskwa, who appeared to be the DU owner's wife. She received 49 payments from Clinton totaling $185,295.
Perhaps Mr and/or Mrs Former DU is now part of the Biden or Harris retinue, and this cash-out is for arms-length transacting/soliciting purposes?
Follow the MONEY to find Mrs. Skinner.
Can't fathom why. After all, he's the REAL commie!

It’s weird. My only guess is that the folks who run DU are Obama/Hillary Democrats. Or maybe they’re just in the pay of Obama/Hillary. Post anything positive about Bernie there and a few folks will semi-agree. But you’ll also get an angry mix of “he’s a spoiler” and “he’s not even a Democrat”.
So why did I post there (at least until I got the boot)? I was just probing the enemy’s defenses.
Side note: The folks over there are 100% humorless. Even on non-political threads there is no humor. None. Quite unlike FR.
A comedian said he likes to troll political threads in a way that causes people to go nuts. In 2016 he said he waded into a Democrat forum (maybe even DU) and said “Trump is so bad, I might just have to hold my nose and vote for a woman.”

Well, Log Cabin Republicans are fond of Drudge.
Maybe Jim would consider adding rantingly.com to Free Repuvlic’s Conservative Link Page.
