DomainTools is more helpful.

Some are dead. One looks scammy. Most I haven’t tried. Explore at your own risk.

How does that work?

Iana says that “neustar” is the TLD manager for .us (Who did it use to be?), but http://whois.nic.neustar doesn’t report any information. Where is DomainTools getting the information, and why isn’t neustar reporting anything?

“Vladimir Lenio”?

I’ll warrant that the “Why voting I for Trump” thread is a fake.

Ah, Vladimir Lenio, leader of the Dyslexik wing of the Communist Party. And Czarcasm was right about the goatee!

Didn’t he use to host the “Russia Tonight Show”?

In Russia the Tonight Show watches you.

How do they get the information on their cloned website? Is it all copied from this website? That would take forever and I think the server would block that as an attack.

I’ll bet it is those damn Russian hackers!
