Vanity: Thank you for your service, but....

I actually remember the name of one of them I am talking about.. Anything related to computers is ok, but that user was trying to make an issue of the VK and Zots..

[CatHerd]

Whoever that was, it was pure silliiness.

The Viking Kitties were super cool and had their place when warranted. Back then, we did really b have a problem with trolls from DU. Nowadays, not so much.

Here’s the rub: People I know in RL who are true conservatives and have plenty of $ they would be happy to donate here are put off by antics like this — and by the Q crowd :(

I’m for FR and the Conservative movement. I am dismayed by anything that impedes either.

[Drew68]

So will you, like the Cruzer Losers did in '16, be officially campaigning against him?

2024 ain't gonna be like 2016.

In '16, Trump was the outsider, running against a bullpen of Bush-league establishment republicans.

in '24, Trump will be a 78-year old has-been with three failed election cycles under his belt. He isn't the wild card anymore. Everyone known him.

Read the room.

Trump is over.

[dforest]

I think he is back unless he went on another vacation.

[Bikkuri]

Well, Laz A. Mataz must not be popular on Brave's search.. ;^)

To be fair, the moral high ground disappeared with Clinton. There isn’t a single trait or character problem — or even a criminal record, for that matter — that should be considered a disqualifying flaw in a presidential candidate anymore.

The guys who come by and collect my garbage every Tuesday morning have more character and integrity than almost any political leader in the U.S. today.

[Textide]

Agree.

[doorgunner69]

I get a great kick out of the zot list.

Too many forums allow trolls to piss all over the place, nice to see active eradication efforts on FR.

What if DeSantis doesn’t run, Big Boss?

[Bikkuri]

[Bikkuri]

Btw, it was a pain to reestablish (took almost a month, and we still didn’t get everyone).

[gundog]

Trump may be more Jake LaMotta than Patton.

I’d like yo see the J6 Select Committee continue, with the Republicans doing the selecting. I think a defense of Trump could be made, if the videos of the event were shown. That said, I think the establishment Rs may be happy to see DJT damaged....to America’s detriment.

[kiryandil]

My bet is that the RepukeLicking Party is over.

After all the garbage they've pulled with their NeverTrump tantrums, I see them for what they are:

Assistant Democrats

The NERVE of that widow-peaked little Cheesehead squirt Paulie Ryan showing back up like he's in charge of something.

It was the conservative-Republican coalition.

Let's see how the Republicans do when the conservatives opt out of the coalition.

[Drew68]

What if DeSantis doesn’t run, Big Boss?

Then DeSantis has no future in politics.

After his massive landslide victory, there's zero reason for him to sit out '24 and every last person in his circle of advisors will be telling him that.

Right now he is the biggest rising star in the GOP.

[kiryandil]

I think he is back unless he went on another vacation.

Yes , but he's keeping his nose cleaner.

[grey_whiskers]

Actually, I’m not vaxxed myself and staunchly against mandates. Gayfrisker hates me because I call out the idiotic posts by Q followers that claim crazy things about the vaccines that hurt the anti-mandate cause and make us look like nuts.

Bullfeathers. You gaslight and use guilt by association and strawmen to attack MDs and scientists who warned about the jabs, and praise the jabs with faint damns.

He’s also taken advantage of when JimRob was laid up in hospital to make weird threats and creepy sexual comments to me. Not a nice person.

"Sod off, Swampy."

[Bikkuri]

395, and still going!

[grey_whiskers]

" creepy sexual comments to me. "

One sentence after calling ME "gayfrisker".

Projection on her part.

[MHGinTN]

So thankful to see you on this issue. I have taken more than just flak for saying Trump’s selfish ego is the republicants worst pillar. We now see how it cumbles when shoved down America’s throat. The man needs to shut up and get out of the way. It may be too late for American conservatism already, but if he continues to demand the limelight we are doomed fer shur

[gundog]

New members with three accounts (apparently)? I’m mindful of ZOT! abuse, and haven’t seen anything excessive.
