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!
President Trump is rather unique in that he did not seek the office for glory or for personal gain. He truly wants to make America a better place. MAGA is not an empty slogan.
But this is not Truth Social. Gentle criticism of Trump and/or his policies should actually be encouraged. It’s the American way. And it pains me that some people here are actually trying to shut down such debate. (I’m not specifically referring to you, balch3).
But suppose the anti-Trump criticism goes beyond “gentle”? Then hit the Report Abuse button, and let the mods decide.
I’m worried it will go the same way of Drudge. I count the # of posts from 10pm PST to 6am. Used to be more than 40. I count 17 this morning. It may be just the ebb and flow of attention spans. What’s really good can get too familiar and boredom sets in. Our earlier heroes O’reilly and Tucker felt it and had to keep their relevancy alive by going drama. We need more humor that gets us laughing at the liberals. Rush had it. Too many drama posts in the nature of dog bites man. Might be there’s not enough interesting subjects out there. The good news is the number of those exposed who we followed. Think Bolton, Cheney, the entire Bush clan. Many others. This has been a good forum.
Nuke Iran, get the hell out of the Ukraine stupidity and let Europe defend their own, flood blue States with ICE and get the illegals the hell out, ignore the leftist activist “judges” and do what needs doing, oh, and stop saying stupid shit in public...
The owners of the FR are free to ban anyone they want. But I think it's pretty cool they allow disagreements within the parameters of conservatism. And yes, I contribute to this site.
I won’t advocate for his removal. If I could, I’d vote for him again. That said, 1. We’re not voting for RINOs any more. The GOP is likely to suffer major catastrophe this November. Only one person getting my vote in the general, and that’s Victor Marx for Colorado Governor. The rest can suck an egg. They’ve spent the last year and a half actually fighting against Trump and his agenda. They don’t care about you and I. They do not deserve our vote.
I’ve yet to determine from what philosophical or religious basis the hatred of Trump within FR originates. Or maybe it’s just from taking offense at his personality.
Trump is not a theologian. He is not a student of philosophy. He has been called a populist for good reason. He is highly pragmatic. And he is, by far, the most highly accomplished man we have ever had as president.
Concur; evidently they would prefer socialism, with open borders, expansion of the Senate and Supreme Court, abolition of large landowning, nationalization of the means of production all driven by a hatred of this country and its citizens. You either give some folks everything or they are more satisfied with getting nothing.
Small minds are desperate for someone to tell them how to think.
Ignore them.
sorry but hes done soon and hs iran fiasco is just that. Gas prices affect everything and it’s the econmy at th end of the day.
I still support Trump, but I wish he would tone the rhetoric down a little. I don’t think the use of foul language helps his ratings.
👍
He 100% closed the border that we were told for 4 years was impossible to close.
For that alone he’s got my support. Who else’s could have gotten that done?
I agree with you 100%. I think we have a lot of people affiliated with Mike Pence’s parroted Advancing American Freedom Foundation on here.
Traitors one and all.
They’re wholly against America First and support the globalist agenda.
These are the people like the people who left the Heritage Foundation who also joined up with Pence’s parroted foundation. They like to call themselves Reaganites, but they have diverted from his ideals and besides that President Trump is making Reagan’s accomplishments pale in comparison.
President Trump is accomplishing the destruction of the deep state’s stranglehold and it shows in their posts here. They’re desperate and doing all they can to diminish and deny his success, but he absolutely keeps winning still.
OTOH, https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4392099/posts got nuked, and a recent drama-queen opus ( https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4391807/posts ) by some FINO I’d never heard of have been good developments.
It's not a lot of posters. Perhaps about 40 or 50 morons at most.
Sir_Humphrey gets it.
No human being now walking the earth is infallible, including (especially?) the Pope!
We all need to be counter-balanced every so often, and remain aware of what others spend their day thinking about outside of our own intellectual bubbles. Whether we agree with them or not.
Maybe we are tired of the BS republicans and their do-nothing policies.
