  • 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.

Hillary Clinton wants to deprogram MAGA?

I quoted him and I didn’t make any claims about where in the speech he said this.
I have asked you four times now where in the speech he said this. For some reason, you don't want to say or know, evidently.

I don’t care where in the speech he said it, I just claimed that he did say it. Which he did.
Why not find out? It's not going to bite you, so what are you afraid of? It is so simple - you have the link, you have the words...why not satisfy your intellectual curiosity?

My article post-dates yours He said he wouldn't but then he tried to anyway on the down low.

Link to original report
It claims he wanted to. What steps did he actually take? Did he “try to lock her up?” or was this just another stupid thing that he said?

You know, you could just read the article (linkie)....

President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

From the article “It is unclear whether Mr. Trump read Mr. McGahn’s memo or whether he pursued the prosecutions further”
If he thought he could order the prosecutions that was just dumb.
The whole story is based on anonymous sources. Did they bother to interview McGahn?

‘Where are all of the arrests?’: Trump demands Barr lock up his foes

“Where are all of the arrests?” Trump said, after several dozen tweets on the subject over the past 24 hours. “Can you imagine if the roles were reversed? Long term sentences would have started two years ago. Shameful!”

“DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THE BIGGEST OF ALL POLITICAL SCANDALS (IN HISTORY)!!! BIDEN, OBAMA AND CROOKED HILLARY LED THIS TREASONOUS PLOT!!! BIDEN SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO RUN - GOT CAUGHT!!!” Trump tweeted.

Trump said, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." You have the transcript too, you can easily check for yourself

The ratio of that single mention to the numerous calls for fighting has already been covered earlier in the thread. Hard to believe a post which ignores them only to repeat the same GOP talking point is intended to be taken seriously.
This is all I have to say about this I don’t care to defend Trump.
And yet how many posts like this have attempted to do so?

Gosh, I could swear this thread was about Secretary Clinton observing that some of Donald's most ardent believers might warrant cult deprogramming and not January 6th.
One might think that this was an attempt to rile up the faithful that ran head first into reality hence the need for the various distractions to other GOP talking points, which to be fair also seem to be having issues with reality.

When did he try to lock her up?
"Our candidate failed to follow through with his campaign promises, vote for him again in 2024". Not convinced that's the best GOP campaign slogan, but let's see what the focus groups say.

I'll also note the complete lack of Ms. Clinton's attempts to deprogram anyone hasn't been brought up by posts attacking her, which I'm sure is because that's like totally different, you know, because reasons and such.

You’re correct that we should focus on the topic, Hillary Clinton and how she feels that people who disagree with her should be reprogrammed

Honestly, why should anyone care about Hillary Clinton's opinions? What ability does she have to enact or influence policy anymore? She's not running for President and she doesn't hold any government office.

Hmmm, why would CNN be giving her air time?

Because she says controversial things and gets people like you to click on their articles and watch their footage?

Ok. Still doesn't answer the question of why anyone should care about her opinions when she has no power (and no potential to gain the power) to enact them.

So we shouldn’t care what anyone says unless they are in a position of power?

Tell you what....if she drafts a law requiring this, I'll join you in objecting to it.

Until then, this seems just a tongue in cheek comment, nothing more. She's entitled to her opinion, just like everyone else...why make more of it than that?

-- A2SG, believe me, I've heard MAGA people say worse things about her and democrats in general.....
She's actually projecting her own needs. She still claims her election that she lost to Trump was "stolen", almost 8 years later.
