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?

I have to admit....
I miss those days.
Carlson/Gabbard 2028
Much simpler times...

More innocent times. I was quite naive back then....
because if you had told me what would happen here in the US over the next two decades... I would have called you crazy.
Good!
RandFan was no bueno...
Not very gutsy to make this comment about the ‘new’ “leaders” which is clearly meant in a non-complimentary way and not have the courage to ping the FReepers you are referring to.
The Robinsons provide a site for people to discuss the issues within a framework of guidelines and also hard rules. At least have the courage to ping those who you object to on how the site is being lead.
Good grief.
// Normally your posts are grayed out with a FF extension. HT to the FReeper who contacted me about what appears to be numerous digs at FR management. //
And... ANOTHER troll rears its head.
BTW, it wasn’t pointed at the Robinsons...
When it finally became too painfully embarrassing Tucker’s kid resigned.
The reason a lot of people are having a problem with Vance is because he HAS NOT disavowed Tucker Carlson.
“Tucker’s kid resigned.”
95% he was asked to.
Yes, I’m sure that’s true.
Pick another name, Trump killed MAGA.
From what I have read Vance has disavowed Qatarlson. I just did some searchng, nothing really turned up. Time will tell.
The clueless, indoctrinated public is a subset of the American population. Not the majority.
It explains a lot, doesn't it?

I agree, as proven by the 2024 election results. But you know they are cranking out “new indoctrinated leftie voters” at all of the left-run universities every year... and the left isn’t finished with importing “new voters”, either. It’s a matter of math vs. mortality vs. inevitability.
Yeah
They should worry about the
collapse of Great Britain first
Because it’s likely not going to recover

Struck a chord? Looks like you’re assuming that he was referring to you, personally. Why is that, I wonder? Usually a result of a guilty conscience, but that can’t be it...lol.
LOL! I'm fairly confident that posters don't refer to me as a FR leader. But you never know!

Depends on what is being led. Don’t sell yourself short.
