Reading FR then flicking to Twitter/X is sometimes like night and day. There's a lot of dissent there among those I happen to follow (NOT Lefitsts or anything like that) regarding: Israel, Iran War, foreign policy and the Administration generally.
A lot of hot topics that get discussed here all the time and former Representatives or officials are leading the charge: MTG, Kent, Tucker Carlson and Massie the most prominent with many large accounts echoing them.
It's clear to me this is more than just a few rebels who have no influence or standing in fact MTG says in one of her latest posts: "The Movement has begun".
She is referring to 'MAGA 2.0' and a split from the Trump admin who they accuse of breaking promises of no more foreign wars and for their handling of the Epstein saga.
This has implications I think for Vance or anyone else in the administration who might want to run for president in future.
This is just an observation. I'm no troll but feel hesitant to post (or re-post) some of their stuff because it might attract complaints.
Sometimes I feel like walking on egg shells especially with foreign policy posts which I think is the main fissure in play and where some of us naturally agree with them on.
Are Twitter/X ahead of the curve or out of order?
Trotksyite NeoLiberal-NeCons are pushing Rubio? Are you ingesting hallucingenic mushrooms or something?
Please give examples of how Rubio is “establishment”. I do not see that at all.
You need to get out more. He disavowed Qatarlson quite some time ago and QT's son is long gone from his tiny position.
THese people may be watching and reading mainstream “news”, it FAKE news. MSM is garbage and infects the mind.
I agree 100% with both of you...
On thing people need to understand is that for decades elections have been stolen/tampered with. Democrats in particular are NOT popular with voters, thus they do not want voter ID. They would not have to cheat if their platfrom was liked by voters.
You’re more than welcome ;^)

Sorry, I’ve lost the context here. In what respect?
Iran has been funding terrorism in many countries for a long time, plus torturing and killing vast numbers of Iranian citizens. That plus their plan to get nukes and conquer the world. THere is no need to create a phone “reason” to stop their plans.
This was intereting, thank you!
Of course hon ;^)
Hope all is going well on your side of the world :^)

Spot on. The dumbed down and indoctrinated, clueless public are all about instant gratification... despite the fact that that usually results in disaster, later on (the end results of them voting for commies and free stuff).
“”Unfortunately, it seems the ‘new’ “leaders” may be backing the TDSers (and other trolls), lately.””

Well, let’s hope not. But now that you mention it....
I have been getting a sense of deja vu here lately... reminiscent of the wild wild west early days of the internet....when I was posting on a leftist-run platform/forum.
It was like swimming with sharks. Kinda fun, kinda exhilarating, and kinda bad for the blood pressure. Luckily, back then, my blood pressure was much better due to being younger. Now... not so much.

Ok... so make your point as to why I might be wrong, then.
I remember the BBS days ;^D
