Ok, that does it.....TDS Opus!

Ok, that does. Free Republic just crossed the line and I'm through with it.

I just made a post and it was almost immediately pulled. The reason given, "altered headline," has got to be the biggest farce I've ever seen. That headline came right off the video. Instead, I'm willing to bet that because it was critical of Trump and his administration, THAT'S the reason why it was pulled.

I've been contempting this, but your actions have now solidified my decision to leave FR completely. I've been tired of seeing anyone and everyone who is critical of Trump being treated this way. Until you folks come back to your senses. count me out.

I'm done.

Yay. I love Trump. No one wants your negative crap posted here. Go to bluesky where you belong.

If the story is worthwhile, you can repost it with the correct headline, or from another source.

...guess not.

Dayum.

FWIW, I'm critical of Trump every so often and nothing like this.

If being critical of Trump would get someone banned, there would be nobody left here........

Take a Break.

Simply leave Free Republic alone for a week or so. It’ll do wonders to clear your head and get away from the mindless replies like “Well Bye”.

And taking a break will do wonders as you stay away from the Angry Trumpers with their own TDS (see tagline). I’m talking about Freepers who stomp their foot and whine about any article that is even remotely critical of Trump.

And most of all, taking a break will result in NOT having to deal with a moderator who pulls threads without giving a reason why.

Take a break.

What was the actual headline and what did you put in its place?

A sort-of complaint I have about many postings is that the text posted after the headline gives us no information about the content or conclusions of the article.

In this post, he stated that they said the headline was not the actual headline.

Trump supporters on this board don’t like to debate.

“Every day, there are articles posted on FR from the NY Times, The Hill, Politico, Mediaite, and a host of other anti-Trump, anti-Republican, anti-American sources. The FReepers posting this stuff do it every day all the time and generally don’t get their articles pulled.“

TDS never sleeps.

Not an airport. No need to announce your departure.
