ETA: I have to point this out, especially since I was taken in at first too:
DPRK_News is a parody account. It sounds just like North Korean shortwave broadcasts, so the people behind it have the lingo down pat. Don't be like the New York Times:
Another feather in the cap of Popehat
By Richard Horgan July 6, 2017
While The New York Times is by no means the only outlet to be fooled by Twitter parody account @DPRK_News, which counts more than 200,000 followers and is operated by members of legal blog popehat.com, some might be tempted to couch this July 4 drama within the context of the newspapers planned copy editor cuts. After all, the incident has been ascribed to an editing error. To recap:

(16,254 posts)the RW is in 7th heaven and think Trump is THE best POTUS we've had in years. I read down as far as I could stand it, but quit when my head nearly came loose from my neck from shaking side to side. HOW can we be so far apart in opinions? Has our people become so ignorant they can't sort out truth from fantasy?
My brain is totally discombobulated (sp?) from the wonder of it all.

(82,849 posts)Does it piss off liberals, or do they think something he's done pisses off liberals? If so, they're in full-throated support; if not, then he's a cuck RINO who needs to be thrown out of office yesterday. It doesn't matter if Trump rants out some demented screed that only a madman would find compelling, it pisses off liberals! Therefore, it is the summum bonum.
When Trump briefly "capitulated" on DACA, he was a total traitor to all of America last week. This week, he's threatening a global conflagration based on nothing more than a deep-seated desire to teach Kim Jong-Un a lesson. It's idiotic and self-destructive, but because liberals are among those rightfully horrified by this bullshit, they're back to slapping high fives and celebrating Trump as the greatest leader ever. They're morons. Don't hesitate to point it out.
Click through on some of the Facebook profiles, and you'll find the "person" behind the post is some nameless, faceless, rootless sock puppet with no personal history. The first time I called one of those profiles out, I was a little nervous. But I've never gotten any response from any of them, so I do it now as a matter of course.

(16,254 posts)I DO have a couple "former" friends who were intelligent as normal people, but when they became Trump fans, they totally changed personalities and apparently showed a side I never imagined was in them. They are Breitbart fans, which I never realized. They are now cult followers and suck in every word/idea. Worse than deplorable. Also, they are both deeply religious and think Trump is, as well.
Obviously, they are reading/listening to different sources than me.
Oh, and I'd love to know how I, as a liberal thinker, became the enemy. Liberal is a hateful, disgraceful term and I didn't do a damned thing but try to treat people kindly and equally. I sure messed up somewhere and didn't even realize it.
Now, they can add "proud" to that description, as I am a proud liberal and will probably die as one.
