Vanity What is Wrong with you people?

Posted on 08/17/2026 9:11:15 AM PDT by balch3

What has happened to FR? People are advocating for President Trump's removal, making sarcastic remarks, Saying the TRump era is over. President Trump has righted the economy, ended Iran's nuclear weapons threat and is the greatest President since Reagan. He deserves better than this. He already has the RINOS in Congress against him, he needs his base fired up and ready to vote! THe RATS are highly motivated to steal this election. Have some courage and get behind out President!

I'd have bombed them mercilessly around the clock. I'd have allowed them Sundays for “negotiations”, and recommenced bombing at 12:01am each Monday. If necessary I'd deploy boots on the ground.

I would figure that we've already bombed all know military and political targets. If you want a president that will start bombing civilian targets in a country were 70% of the civilians don't support the mullahs, that isn't going to happen, nor should it, nor would I want to by gas a buck fifty cheaper because of it.

He lost all the momentum he had because he thinks these savage fanatics can be trusted at a table.

I seriously doubt Trump trusts the savage fanatics.

If necessary I'd deploy boots on the ground.

I don't necessarily disagree with that, but our country has become too pampered for that.

This conflict should be guided from a closed door war room. Not from Truth Social.

I seriously doubt this conflict isn't being guided from "a close door war room".

Energy costs under Trump went UP, not down. (I know this painfully first-hand.) Grocery costs under Trump went UP, not down. (I know this painfully first-hand.)

Unless the inflation rate is 0%, prices go up. It's wage growth vs the rate of inflation that you need to look at.

And wage growth has exceeded the rate of inflation 15 out of the 19 months since Trump has been in office.

And it would have been 19 out of 19 months if you would prefer one of, appeasing Iran, directly attacking Iranian civilian targets or putting boots on the group.

The world is "painful" buttercup. Suck it up.

Not necessarily. I said all known targets.

Iran nukes do not exist.

Neither did ours until 1945, but they were absolutely coming, and so are the Iranian nukes unless we prevent it.

Nuke weapons are not hard to make. There is a lot of information out there about how to do it, and lots of nations have created them.

We must absolutely not allow the Iranian Religious fanatics to get their hands on nukes.

This is not difficult.

“Trump is no conservative.”
That’s what McCain said. DJT’s response to that is what “finished” him as a candidate in 2016.

McCain wasn't a candidate in 2016, did you mean someone else?

Well, the open border was real, and Iran nuking us is not, so there’s that.

It's not real *NOW*, but it certainly was last year.

We need to keep it NOT REAL. Letting it become real is stupid.

Wage "growth" in STEM fields has cratered under both Trump 2.0 and Biden. They have the same policy of sucking up to Tech Titans for donations, in return for being able to flood the labor market with cheap foreign scabs.

The rate for engineers - contract and full-time - in my field has gone down to 65% of what it was back in 2019. And that's when you can find a job. I just got out of 17 months of going unemployed, and my story is NOT uncommon.

The world is "painful" buttercup. Suck it up.

Yeah, that's a great endorsement of a presidency: "Trump 2.0: it's painful. Suck it up, buttercup!"

Here is something that Trump needs to see. And you can feel free to go through my previous posts I’m not anti trump.

The AI slop that comes from his social media is complete idiotic horseshit.

There are two economies in the US apparently. His is doing well, ours is terrible.

He is making profit from his position. Just like every other politician and it’s sickening.

I will not idolize him. He makes mistakes, he doesn’t know everything and he’s a fool. Sometimes. It’s called being a human being.

We have zero proof of anything good going on in our wars. That’s it. Just no proof.

He, as well as every president before him, can take to a microphone at any time and tell us what’s happening. He won’t. Not because he can’t, he won’t.

The stunts are stupid. “Freedom fuels” where the price is set at $x.47 because of the 47th president is the biggest insult is could have possibly delivered.

Trump products are just rubbed in our faces. It started with the Chinese -made “Make America Great Again” hats and continues to the Trump phone (which isn’t him . I get it but he is the one who gave us the speech about his name on things so by his own admission - it IS him)

Trump Accounts. What a scam. I’ve got it and I’m an analyst it’s a scam. And IRS FORM 4547? Wt everliving f is that about?

We the people are fucking dying out here but stocks are strong. If you know how stock markets work that means all of our money is captured in the markets - where it can’t be touched. Trillion dollars in the market is a trillion that can’t be in circulation.

None of this matters in terms of the oval office though his policy is spot on. But having my face rubbed in shit all day long is getting tiresome.

Vance \ Rubio 2028.

I agree with your post up to this point:

Vance \ Rubio 2028.

No, Vance is in the pocket of Peter Navarro and the Tech Titans. Rubio is one of the "Gang of Eight" who pushed for amnesty.

As far as I'm concerned, the only guy who seems solid for 2028 is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

I still have concerns about DeSantis, and he absolutely doesn't have a crackling campaign personality. But he sure has done things right in Florida, and he's been the only one on the national scene who's not only spoken out about H-1B visas, but actually acted against them.

No. McCain, in an interview, was asked what he thought of DJT. McCain said, “Well, he is no conservative”. Of course, DJT was asked what he thought of that. And, of course, DJT unloaded on McCain, the “hero”.

We’ve learned from supporting the Bush Administration during the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan during the “War on Terror”.

(They should be zero of course)

No, I said the world is painful, not the Trump presidency. Don't twist what I said.

Ohh good grief... Always with the Derangement Syndrome ... I remember when it was Sarah Palin Derangement. Now nobody mentions her.

When Trump does something good, I applaud, when he does something I consider dumb (morally, economic or warfare) I certainly don’t.

As should all people.


Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light..... Isaiah 5:20

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. — President Theodore Roosevelt

“I’m worried it will go the same way of Drudge. . .”

Matt Drudge saw what was coming and sold out in 2018 to Margaret Otto.

We are witnessing active warfare systematically taking down, removing and twisting every available venue where free people can still meet, share and openly discuss the truth of what is happening without fear of retribution and censorship.

Expect to see more and more feigned outrage with manufactured hit pieces pimped around to Conservative Freedom Forums and influencer channels to create doubt and confusion among supporters. This is their planned preparation and political maneuvering now increasingly underway against the only Nation still fighting back, the USA.

Expect their well funded Marxist manufactured lawyer speak to ramp up and for them to put up a desperate fight for the midterms. Having daily coordination of their ‘Color Revolution’ Saul Alinksy, Cloward-Piven, WEF Agenda-2030 plans provided to their MSM operatives, Tavistock UK shills and Agentic-AI bot Orchestrators.

It’s time for the West to wake up:

“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” - Ephesians 5:14-16

...the eventual outcome of this site: Its decline will speed up and it will cease operations within the next 3 years. Nothng last forever. Now, start thinking about what must replace it? Most likely a dedicated Reddit group...

Reddit?
You're kidding, right?

Reddit is censorship central and is absolutely opposed to this Free Republic of these United States.

On a related note, "WNBA fan subreddit bans posters from using Sophie Cunningham's name after defense of women's sports - A Reddit user shared screenshots showing mods confirmed the ban and threatened further action for questioning it":

Reddit hates conservatives. And your doom and gloom predictions are typical old fart complaining. There are lots of newer voices here. Quit whining for the past. It ain’t coming back, anywhere you look, even here. Go forward.
