Trump farted sideways - public outrage!!!!! 12,000 posts on the topic

I agree
I now avoid FHF. Use up a less used board and go at it.

Kinda ruining the FHF board for the rest of us

Btw: to the OP , this is falling on deaf ears. Those who agree with you will be told we are blind to the world ending as we know it in 3, 2, 1...

Can the handful of anti trump posters who insist on posting over the top scare tactic posts all day just make one anti trump post and keep updating that.

I can not stand coming on here and seeing ten different threads about trumps every move and how he is destroying the country.

WE GET IT. I can't be the only one who is so over this nonsense.



Ironically, the last 10 posts you made were on FHF, on political threads.... Chat Icon



Yes, after the election when it was a hot topic. Haven't posted since then because I got tired of you and others pretty much calling us horrible people. I still check on here, mainly parenting and celebrities. It's just painful on the family board.

I love the women's march thread, that's what the board is about. But the nonsense posts are annoying.



Which are the nonsense posts? And what would you rather be talking about? Start new threads.

I find it interesting- we will look back on LIF posts and see the current events in 2016-17 consisted of Trump! This forum is a reflection of what is going on. So is FB - thats what social media is. Its what is on peoples minds you cant deny that

Its an unprecedented time in history to have someone like Trump as president. After 8 years we are in for huge change. Of course people are going to talk about it endlessly! Wha do you expect?

I compare this post to me going on the travel board and never want to step foot in Disney so i have to weed through those posts!

I think it's an exaggeration to say if he farted sideways there would be outrage.

What he is doing - if you don't care - don't care, but don't tell the rest of us not to.



I'm trying to make a joke here. Take a breath

Nobody is saying not to have feelings or opinions but for those who also use these threads for everyday stuff, it's so constant Chat Icon Chat Icon



Jeez you have some snark in you. I just think that if you don't like it, skip it. Don't tell people what they can or can't post unless the people who run the site want to censor it.



I do actually. Because It's absolutely exhausting.
It really is.
I try not be an asshole about it but my god. It's every five friggin minutes and always the same people. Every ******** minute.
I am PmSing big time as I eat 2 peanut butter cups. But I won't even make an excuse.

The people who run the site are nowhere to be found.



I do skip over them but it's just absurd at this point. Real posts get lost. Defeats the entire point of this forum HELPING not complaining.

It's just annoying, the same handful of posters keep doing it.



They are REAL POSTS too. And they are not scare tactics. They are actual things he has said/proposed. If it scares you, it should.

The people who are annoyed at these posts just don't care that other people have legitimate worries and fears. They don't want to hear it. They want you to shut up. This thread is basically saying, people who don't like Trump need to shut up because I don't like you posting on a half-dead message board about things that are concerning to you.

What you consider a "real post" may be different than what another users considers real. The issues that the election and Trump/republicans have brought up have been AS REAL AS IT GETS for many groups of people.

OP........ Many people do not want to turn a blind eye to the things this man is proposing, the people he's appointing, and the words he is speaking. If you want to keep yourself ignorant and in the dark as to what's going on once his administration takes office by all means, do so. However, don't tell people on a public forum what they can speak about. Like others said, you don't like it....... Don't open the thread.

I don't want to answer for anyone but I think what she meant by real is everyday stuff posts. Not just political posts. Every board on this forum has a title. Food, TTC, FHF should be General postings that don't fit in really anywhere else. So it was the place to go for everyday reg postings.

No I'm talking about the nonsense when you guys post things like 51% of long islanders are optimistic about Trump or anything to do with Trump and then you guys go on to talk about how 51% of long islanders are idiots. Is stuff like that necessary?

With that said, the ones that are tired of the posts. Maybe post some topics to mix it up some? I'm sure it would be welcome by many.

Definitely not. But being kind to your fellow human is something most of us has been taught since childhood. It seems to have been lost here among the avid trump and anyone who doesn't hate him too haters.

Agree to disagree, appreciating another's feelings. Ya know? Common courtesy

And just as op shouldn't be censored in saying it's enough already. More like EXHAUSTING

And there you go! Your wording right there says it all. REAL POSTS.

I get it. Any post about the weather, how much to give at a wedding, what to tip the delivery guy, traffic updates... Those are REAL posts. Anything regarding people's fears about healthcare, the economy, their kid's education, public safety, the environment... All that stuff is fake because it doesn't concern you? Their fears are invalid? Or maybe you think their fears are valid but they should just run along now because it's dragging down the generally good-natured mood of the board. Tone too somber? Maybe that's because it is! And this is just a reflection of the mood surrounding the country. But you don't care.

BTW Nobody has posted anything that isn't factual. So it may just do you some good yet to read some of it instead of burying your head in the sand. Just because you support the guy doesn't mean you have to support everything he stands for and let him get away with everything he wants.

Yep, the constant bashing is uncalled for. It's actually childish. But the one protesting the issue was part of a secret group a few years ago bashing a lot of really nice people. Wouldn't put it past her and some of the others. Chat Icon

I have no issues with the posts (most of them anyway). I find most of GoldenRod's posts interesting even if I don't agree. The issue is that many people can not debate an issue without resorting to name calling and can not acknowledge that others can have different opinions. That is unfortunate.
