This is part two of what I thought was a folksy little post introducing myself to the group so if I comment or post, you’d have some idea who I was. Since the majority of people thought it should be a separate post, I have done that. Here is part one for those who haven’t read it: PART ONE
I was overwhelmed by the response and thank you all. I tried to reply to all and forgive me if I missed anyone. One post mentioned RINOs. I wonder if RINOs aren’t really just Democrats who couldn’t exist in that Communist party, so they became Republican because what else could they do? But as I open more and more to who the Democrats really are, I would not be surprised if Democrats join the Republican party to be moles and 5th columns.
After Trump became President, the worst thing was his tweeting--not the actual tweets, but MSM distortion. It was maddening. I hate it when people are lied about, even when I strongly dislike them. Since I knew most of the MSM is Democrat, and since the Democrats in Congress bashed Trump’s tweets with the same lies, that right there let me know the kind of people I was dealing with. Then the Russia Collusion and obstruction lies, the border lies, and what for me is a very big thing, the Israel lies. It got to be that if their lips were moving they were lying. But some Democrats felt a wave of hope when Pelosi began to double down on The Squad. They lied about her, saying she was a racist and endangering them, and President Trump defended her. That showed class.
Then came this latest tweet storm. I saw it shared. It looked like a tweet from Donald Trump. There were no splice marks, it had his twitter picture and title, there was just a coherent, and repulsive, tweet. But I’m not an amateur any more. I went to his actual twitter account and read the original tweet and was unsurpised to find the tweet that is being shared all over the internet is fake. It cuts off the last half. But while he defended Pelosi from lies, she refused to return in kind and embraced the lying tweet and the four Communists, ending forever the idea she has any character or she’s not a Communist herself. But when I went to FOX News, I was stunned and horrified to see everyone, EVERYONE, apparently reacting to the fake one, and not the real one. They all claimed he told four congresswomen to go back where they came from. HE DIDN'T. This network had won grudging respect. Now this.
To put it in context, we have four women, one from Somalia, one whose antecedents are Palestinian, one had antecedents from Puerto Rico, one from Chicago. All places that are a total mess. All they have done is criticize this country, say it is a racist hellhole, say how awful it is, a steaming pile of poop basically, that one can only conclude they or their parents made a horrible mistake ever coming here or staying here. So Trump basically said, if that's how you feel, go back where you came from, work to fix it and when you have, THEN COME BACK and show us how it's done. In context of their criticisms he was responding to, he’s saying that once you’ve fixed those places which apparently are not as bad, now you can fix us, which is apparently the worst based on your own statements. Now look, the phrase, THEN COME BACK, has absolutely NO leeway in interpreting it. Anyone who says Trump told them to go back where they came from and stay there is lying. It isn't racist or xenophobic. Now most people, Democrats or Republicans, want to fix things wrong with the country but pretty much all feel that if it just totally sucks in your eyes, leave, because you aren't a prisoner here. This isn't a communist country (yet!) and there is no Berlin Wall. That’s not racist, even if it's harsh. But all over FOX and the conservative columnists, they were falsely claiming he told them to go back where they came from. I wrote to several conservative columnists and FOX News hosts. I’ve been keeping track, on FOX Hannity said the true tweet right away, Pirro corrected guests who referenced the fake one, Gutfeld posted the two different tweets showing the altering (and yet it bounced off two off two guests and they still talked like the fake tweet was true, even though they had just seen it!) Without overtly referencing the hoax, Tucker and Ingraham still gave no quarter. So far everyone else on FOX clearly intends to hold to the hoax one. I have gotten no answers to my letters. I don’t know if people flooding them with letters would help. Changes at the top seem to be changing FOX to FAUX. Right before finishing this article, I saw Cavuto nearly cheering for impeachment. So it was time to look for more news and video choices.
Among ones I’ve looked at I found the Free Beacon. But I thought I remembered from somewhere that there was another Free something-or-other. Free Republic? I searched for it, and looked around, and knew this was a place to continue this journey.
Thank you for being here and for your welcome. After this I want to spend some time feeling my way around, seeing posts, learning the formats, etc.
We do not need your kind of hate here... No one should be hated just because they are being lied about... You must try to cure yourself... /s
So he doesn't hate Trump. Just that his tweets are consistently distorted.
Welcome. Thanks for seeing that both sides of elites aren’t fair at all! I’m more libertarian / freedom / capitalist and currently just politically very anti-corruption. I know, politics nearly = corruption. But a girl can dream.
That’s all they know how to do anymore. President Trump has them so off balance they have lost their bearings and are self-destructing.
You missed the point. I hate it WHEN someone is being lied about. My point was, at the beginning I disliked Trump but when I saw him being lied about I hated the lies and defended him despite the dislike. I will defend from lies people doing me dirty. I hate false witnessing. Eventually I realized my picture of Trump was based on lies and changed my view. I don’t hate people who are being lied about, that makes no sense.
Thank you.
I hope their destruction is complete, and soon.
Ah, the days of WHINE AND POSERS in our beloved 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. residence.
And yet, even THOSE two didn’t top the fugly charts. That spot belongs to Helen “old spook a stickhorse” Thomas. Ugly woman. Inside and out. {{{shiver}}}
And I thanked God every day for Free Republic. Still do.
Thank you, I appreciate it. When I started writing them I felt a bit alone, lol.
Sadly too many people who either hate America as much as they do, or just can’t see the forest for the trees. So complete self-destruction will never actually occur. Besides they are really good at cheating, and the press protect them, which is why many do not see that forest.
Thank you, I will check it out. I see that list on the side of the forum, too, so lots to explore!
Doubtful they will, but I can dream.
FYI: If somebody says something and then types /s
/s means sarcasm
I think you’ll like FR. I lurked for years before I joined and posted.
I welcomed you yesterday and yes, you thanked me.
Enjoy FR! It can be very educational and entertaining.
Jump on in, the water’s fine!
Welcome.
I am sure they won't. I'm just saying that the misstated tweak (and it was deliberately misstated) is fine by me - for the reasons I mentioned. It is wrong for the Media to continually, and intentionally, misquote the President -- but this is one time that I agree with the misquote. I'm sure the President doesn't agree with the harshness of the message - but it accurately expresses the message that these 4 America haters deserve.
You’re welcome, you’ve come to a great place. I don’t post much but I read many of the posted articles on a near daily basis and have absorbed vast quantities of info. Enjoy!
Thank you!
