I turn off CNN or FOX when they get nauseatingly anti-Trump. I just don't have time for the bullsnot.
So I come to FR for relief. A bastion of conservatism in the heart of America. But there's a problem.
I'm starting to see more Anti-Trump stuff here than I see on FOX or CNN or anywhere else. This will hurt FR, badly, if JR doesn't fix it. Thinking people come here to avoid the urine and feces everywhere else. Let's not latrine this place up too much, especially in obeisance to the false god of "publishing the news..."
If it's piss, it ain't news. N'Kay?
They are not producing anti-Trump ads, or an anti-Trump campaign. But they are not putting forth $ to produce pro-Trump ads or get behind a Pro-trump campaign.
I personally think that Freepers should...
...Purple staters: vote for Trump if they live in a TRUE battleground state...
...Blue staters: vote 3rd party for POTUS (NOT Johnson) if they live in a blue state [with our electoral college system, a pro-Trump vote in a blue state is a wasted vote..."don't waste your vote" is what we've heard from FREEPSTERS for years...they just don't apply it to themselves in obvious cases like this...]
...Red staters: vote 3rd party for POTUS (Not Johnson) if they live in a red state [there's not enough FREEPERs in any given red state whose vote were it cast for a 3rd-party person vs. Trump would impact the electoral college outcome]...Trump is going to win these states, anyway...your red-state vote for POTUS won't make a difference.
NOTE: Beyond the POTUS race, your vote in certain races COULD be key, whatever state you are in (Blue, Red, Purple).
So the above applies ONLY to the POTUS race.
Some of the really whacked threads claiming unsubstantiated rumors are also troublesome . . . like the one where Hillary’s doctor reveals that she has cancer. The medical profession would have his license in a nanosecond and he would be sued for everything he owns.
The left finds every excuse to call us right wingers out, we really don’t need to give them ammo.
“I think I’ll take the same principled stand the Koch brothers are doing:
They are not producing anti-Trump ads, or an anti-Trump campaign.”
Oh, please! There is NOTHING principled about the Kochs. They are who is financing everyone who is ANTI TRUMP!
They are the emblem of open borders, cheap labor and bad trade like TPP.
I just realized I can comment again after responding to someone through mail. I’ve been going elsewhere for my news because this site is so Pro-Trump to the point it’s become delusional. Just scrolled through and I’m still not seeing the negativity towards Trump. It’s all pom poms around here.
Personally I don’t like to get in goose-step FRiend. I will say and post what I dang well please.
I am Never-Hillary.
If there are anti-Trump articles and postings, that means there is freedom here.
Mike/drop
Yes, but at least the responses are pro-Trump.
I’ve been avoiding sites because they are so delusion that they are only bashing Trump. Just scroll Through Red State, Right Scoop, National Republic, Federalist and so on. These nuts have a aggregator called The New Americana where they can post links to Cuckservative sites often Rino or Cruz country.

” I’ve been going elsewhere for my news because this site is so Pro-Trump to the point it’s become delusional.”
You should stick with those other sites because FR is PRO TRUMP!
Vote Trump 2016
Do you need a Safe Zone?

Agreed.
Oh yeah I almost forgot. Cruz is the enemy here at this “conservative” website. Silly me.
“I disagree. It isn’t like we all haven’t seen vestiges of confusion and subterfuge here.”
Part of it is the transformation of this site from a wholly conservative site, where two years ago Trump supporters and Cruz haters would have been been banned, to a more nationalist site, where the main concern is no longer focused on social issues, but national issues.
If someone said something bad about Mark Levin or Ann Coulter two years ago, they would have been hammered by FReepers. Now the same two are laughing stocks, all credibility gone and labeled as part of the establishment.
Yes, there is some confusion here which still needs to be sorted out. We’ll be ok. Trump just has to finish the job.
I’ve been on FR for over 16 years. We have freedom of conservative conscience here. It truly is time for all of us to get behind Trump, but unlike democrats we do not impose a monolithic point of view. In fact I’ve been thinking that FR was bending over too much to suit the Trump supporters during the primary. But that is all behind us now and we are all on the same team.
Uh...uh....wait....what?
Yes, let’s not publish any bad news about Trump but instead be a place of constant cheerleading like little snowflakes who cannot have their false realities shattered by real life. Oh, woe is us if we can’t have a website that tells us only what we want to hear so we can be comforted until Election Day with beliefs that our person has won in a landslide.
The same as it is everywhere else...everything above your eyebrows.
There is always the option of not clicking the link. Try that next time you soil yourself. Stop bitching about it and get a grip.
