Actually I have been on Free Republic since Lewinsky/Clinton affair in 1998. Learned of FR on Drudge, when he was reliably right-wing. I posted as PoisedWoman back then, had great exchanges with TexasCowboy, Ken5050 and other old-timers who are no longer here.

I didn't post for awhile after Bush was elected, then came back as Veto! The first time I saw Trump walk onto a debate stage, and before the debate began, I could see him quite clearly taking the oath of office with a woman in a white coat near him. That turned out to be Ivanka.
