This is the act of a YouTube personality not the act of someone who is running for president...

I still love what the guy did for this country in the four years he you were president. Trump saved the republic with his supreme court nominations.

At this point watching stuff that has nothing to do with the democrat program of defaming trump with lies I have come to this decision. I will be supporting someone else in the primaries.

If trump wins the primary, I will support Trump because I am a never a Democrat kind of guy. I am as partisan as it gets when it comes to the political parties.

THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON
I have been lurking and reading this thread for years. Every freeper is awful and repulsive of course, but some are more stupid than others, some are obviously crazy, some are more clearly dishonest, some are wildly egotistical, all of them are racist but some more overtly than others, etc. They are all special flowers in their own way.

With that said, I would like to open nominations for the award of the Very Worst Freeper of Them All.

To open nominations, I first suggest central_va. He is particularly hateful, obviously stupid, openly racist, proud of his ignorance, remarkably gullible, and actively hostile to both normal people and to other freepers. To me, he stands out as a particularly smelly and loathsome floater, even in the sea of turds that is Freep, and I have no doubt that he joyfully participated in a lynching or two in his halcyon days of youth.

Can anyone suggest a better candidate for this prestigious award?

Laz wins it, if only for the “I have a solution, it’s rather final” comment on the caravan of children that arrived at the US/Mexico border tears back. To remove any doubt about what he meant, he posted a Zyklon-B shower meme to go along with his comment. There doesn’t need to be any other contestant.

Only one response to that that I can remember, and it was something like “keep that up and I won’t get to see you in heaven”

It's really surprising they get any new users at all. The website is openly hostile to new regs. Every n00b that opines has a bunch of the old guard deeply scrutinizing every character of their posts because freepers are deeply suspicious of anyone that they don't recognize, which is a funny commentary on conservatives in general.

To be fair central_va has a list of Trump's accomplishments that he just copies and pastes into threads, and because the literal text "chgogal posted:" is in there I can only assume that they didn't even come up with the list, they're just quoting someone else's list. Regardless, it helps to have the list to defend Trump's honor whenever someone besmirches his good name. Just an assumption though, freep's search lacks any full text feature so you can't actually ask it "what is the first incidence of this phrase?".

You won’t find an earlier and more strident supporter of Trump, from 2015 to 2022, than me.

But Trump has really gone off the deep end lately. Steve Bannon was his number-one guy for the entire campaign, and Trump even lost HIM!

The thing I’ve noticed about Trump is that, since he had a lot of involvement the World Wrestling Entertainment group, that he brings from it a lot of Smash Mouth tendencies and a lot of WWE promotion techniques.

If you look at Trump through the prism of Professional Wrestling, lots of what he does makes a lot more sense. It puts in perspective the combative Tweets and the shameless hucksterism. It’s not presidential, not even slightly, but it’s what he knows.

Trump is a massive narcissist so he's capable of accidentally doing good things occasionally if he thinks it will make everyone like him. Like the enhanced unemployment/2k checks in 2020 when the pandemic was starting.

DeSantis isn't as egotistical or stupid so he would just be pure hate and evil. You're not alone in what you think, if it was absolutely going to be one of them in the Oval Office I'd rather have Trump again for sure.

This thread is from Dec 15 when Musk banned @elonjet and reporters that were critical of him. Musk also put two polls, the second one because he lost the first one, asking whomever remains on twitter whether or not he should unban them. He lost both polls and meekly unbanned some of the journalists but the jet tracking accounts are still banned.
Elon Musk says banned journalists basically published "assassination coordinates"

It's a measurement that can be indicative of certain things, but loving far from some kind of definitive measure of a person's mind.
