What an exceptional resource we have in DU

That is, DU and all its members.

News is breaking at a furious pace; this is one place, if you read and follow up the news and articles posted, you will have the very broadest range of views and reporting on Trump's impeachment. All.in.one.place.

Each day since the WB emerged, I voraciously read everything DU has to offer and I'm pointed to the best videos, reporting and opinion, making it redundant to trawl the news sources myself. I'm very grateful to the people who take time to post these sources.

Well done DU, love you all.

I've been on DU since almost the very beginning (I've had computer crashes and have had to completely re-register so my post count is low in addition to the fact that I don't initiate a lot of posts anyway).

I don't know how I would've made it through the Bush years and now these times (that I can only describe as "The Upside Down&quot if not for DU.....

Amazing how often there's "breaking news" on the teevee hours (and in some instances, days) after it's been posted on DU.
