One JPR poster in particular has a nice soapbox over there. Was booted from DU AND DI (even the pre-Trump conservatives knew he was a troll) for lots of Kremlin-favorable disinformation. I saw JPR had an appreciation thread for that troll and at that point....well they just weren't worth a lot of thought anymore.
