  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Donald officially moves to Florida; NY Gov says "Good Riddance."

Andrew Cuomo responds to Trump switching residency to Florida: 'Good riddance' | TheHill

No love lost between those two... but this is interesting...
A person close to the president told the Times that Trump's decision to change his primary residence was largely for tax purposes. The person also cited Trump's frustration with the Manhattan district attorney's lawsuit seeking his tax returns.

Trump and Cuomo are longtime adversaries, with the president repeatedly going after the governor over the state's investigations into his business and finances.

Hope Donald realizes NY still wants his tax records...

Thoughts?

This place needs to scrap the name Christian Forums and rename itself to Political Forums since that's most of its content. It's a political site. Getting more distracted away from what it's supposed to be.

I grew up next to Donald Trump's golf resort in Palos Verdes. I literally learned the words "huckster" and "scofflaw" because of how neighbors characterized his deceptive, cruel, manipulative, crass conduct over the years. He callously cheated the school district out of a windfall; bullied via litigation to break laws and get his vainglorious way; was sued by female staffers for his appallingly inappropriate conduct and had to settle. He brazenly and brutishly disregarded laws and civility. Rather than ever showing any love for his neighbors he felt entitled to be abusive from the start. And I doubt he paid his taxes here either.

Good riddance is right. He's a native New Yorker but is disdained by many there and had humiliating single digits in the voting precincts around his own neighborhood. He's not a good neighbor. Let Florida keep him.

Politics having its own sub-forums, at least, keeps it out of the mainstream sub-forums. And sometimes it overlaps with Christian concerns, like Fetal Rights, etc.

For the most part, I don't pay much attention to the rhetorical propaganda that passes for political "news" these days.

Regarding the "good riddance" sentiment,
i suspect that the sentiment is mutual from Trump, since he initiated switching his residence out of NY.

Not really -- he tried to spin how NY will "always have a special place..." in his... whatever.

My thoughts on Trumps tax returns?

Who cares?

The impeachment, I would reckon -- as Donald is suspected of overvaluing his properties for the purpose of securing bank loans, and undervaluing them for the purpose of his taxes.

Bank fraud and tax fraud are both felonies, which are unquestionably "high crimes" as defined by the Constitution...

It seems that Trump was referring to NY's animosity to him. It doesn't mean that he doesn't love NYC itself. He HAD to love NY for living there all those years, and his history of helping NYC out, one time in particular when it involved a less costly and better way to either renovate or rebuild the UN building there.

(i will attempt to find the video of him testifying to Congress, i believe re: this, if you wish.)

I'm not unhappy with the politics forum. I'm unhappy with the preponderance of drivel that fills it.

Yes, but "Who cares" Some people just do not care.

No doubt Trump can be an annoying jerk, but I didn't vote for him because I thought he'd be a good neighbor. People aren't voting for good neighbors. That's not a prerequisite. Better a jerk than a butt kisser. Trouble is everyone expects a president to be someone they'd like to live next door to. Maybe they shouldn't think that way. President and good neighbor are not the same job description.

I think thats a mistake.

The bad behavior noted a few posts above indicates a person who is totally about self enrichment and self aggrandizement at the expense of others, which is precisely what we dont want in a president. Not me anyway.

New York, being what it is, will still attempt to charge him for income tax, even after he leaves. Never do business with New York if you can help it.

you are well aware of which way the door is...

When an agnostic tells a Christian to leave a Christian forum, I sense that someone is being a bad guest.
