Anyone remember the Freeper “CNN”

Does anyone remember the Freeper “CNN”? I think it stood for cringing news network. He was always talking about bringing back US jobs, manufacturing jobs especially from China. I think he’s long gone, but I’ll bet he would’ve liked “liberation day”

I don't recall a FReeper by the name of "CNN", but that doesn't mean anything.

However, I tried a search for a user by that name but came up empty.

Could not find anybody named 'CNN'

If there was, it would let me send to you and him.

Do you mean “Cringing Negativism Network”?

If that’s the one, there was a handle change to cba123.

Yes that’s it. Thanks. He was a one note band. He said that they need to bring the jobs back all the time. He was very pro-tariff and he did have a point.

A twister is a tough one, either you have a rare special built shelter, or you just lay on the floor and hope for luck.

For a minute or two I was in Fred Sanford, “I’m a-comin Elizabeth!” mode.
One touched down close, will have to wait for morning to check shingles and tree damage, if any. Very strong wind.

Probably banned as many good ones were. FR has not been the same since the Great Purge.

We got nailed pretty good down here in San Antonio two days ago with hail. When I lived in (name redacted) I would take lightly the hailstorms I heard about on the news. Not any more - near baseball size stuff.
