More specifically, they've hated him since he backed off on implementing Christian Sharia "Religious Freedom" when he was Governor of Indiana. That was an unforgivable showing of weakness in Freepers' eyes.

You might have missed it, because few people bother to pay attention to Indiana, but he'd been becoming steadily more unpopular with the Republicans in general in that state for being ineffective and uncharismatic. If he hadn't been put on the Trump ticket and instead stayed there, many people expected he'd lose the Republican primary and thus not get reelected.

He'd basically have become the sort of losing politician that it's safe for everyone on a place like freep to decry as a failure RINO who's betraying Are Conservative Principles.

Seems about right.

I think obviously, what’s been missing and sorely needed in this country for a long time is a tradition whereby anytime the House has 1 more member from the party different than the party of the President, impeachment should be SOP!

That way there would be no need to worry or get fussy about it.

This time Democrats do the deed.

When the time is right, then Republicans can crow.

See. Lets make this fun.

A curious narrative seems to be forming among Freepers that this article is all Fake News by the Deep State to try and sow discord among the White House.

That doesn't stop them from wanting Trump to round up everyone working for the Times, of course.

quote:

To: 2ndDivisionVet

"Senior officials are taking things off Trump's desk to keep him from seeing them. "

I'm not sure why this is not being seen as the crime that it most certainly is. It's one thing for an advisor to try to sway the President in one way or another, that is their job. On the other hand for someone or a group of people to be undermining the President is a direct threat to our national security. This person simply does not have the authority to be doing what they claim to be doing. Furthermore the NY Times is not protected by the first amendment when it comes to hiding the identity of someone who is admitting to undermining the role of the commander n chief and thus a direct threat to our national security.

The US Marshals should be silently getting a warrant to serve on the NY Times that will compel them to identify this person or persons.

What if the person who wrote this piece is carrying the nuclear football? What happens if we are attacked and this person denies critical information to the President?

No question the NY Times should be served a warrant and forced to identify this person. At that point a warrant for the arrest of this individual and anyone connected with this subversive activity.

I quit the drat VA years back as they will kill you. Senior Vets, even CAT 1’s with SMC like I am, can do much better with BCBS Diamond Advantage for $217 a month. What is $500 total a month for medicine, surgeries, etc.? I had two private MD’s who had worked at VA’s tell me the VA would kill me.

I don't click on links that go to freep because I don't want them to have more traffic, so no, I didn't want to click the link that literally says freep.com

And just “”HOW”” are OLD people today! Was there anything in the story about the age of the property owner? What an outrageous and stupid statement and judgment on something and someone you know nothing about. But that’s the kneejerk reaction on every FR thread anymore. You don’t suppose it could be the fault of the parents who haven’t properly raised their children to respect other people’s property? Nah - couldn’t be that!
