  • 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.

Imagine being so consumed with hatred for someone else... instead of you know. love
Indeed.

If Trump had simply admitted to fault in his company's poor accounting practices instead of hating on the judge, the jury, and the media instead of putting up a defense without all the vitriol, he would have gotten off. He got back what he dished out. That was the defense of his choosing. He is to blame for his mess. Justice was served.

Lock him up!

I am not even sure Trump COULD get a fair trial. For the record, I would say the same about Biden, Obama anyone like that, but particularly someoe as polorizing as Trump.
This is you essentially arguing that because Trump is a polarising figure, he should be immune from the law.

His enemies may be laughing at him ...
but his supporters are praying for him, and contributing money to his campaign.

I pray for Mr Trump and his supporters. This is a wake up call for them. They can choose to use their eyes and ears to see and hear the truth God is giving them. Or they can shun His blessing in favor of worldly concerns. I wish you well.

34 felonies. ook up the details on each one yourself. Regaedless of your opinion, Donald Trump is now a 34x felon. Please, tell me why that is not so after his tantrum after the verdict was read. Do you know what is even funnier? The intimidation he tried to portray, interrupting the judge, addressing the jury directly and so on will work against him in the sentencing phase. Make no mistake, he has been found guilty. Now whether he actually goes to prison where he belongs is another matter. He may be able to bully and cronie his way into probation.
I must admit that I like the idea of community service. Be nice if he could help clean up some of NY's subway stations for example. Yes, I do like that...

We will be given the choices they allow. To all of us...
You didn't know that he can still run? That you can still vote for a convicted felon? That said convicted felon can still be president?

Something wrong with a system that says that you can be elected to a position for which you aren't allowed to vote.

I understand you hate Trump and I know that he could never get a fair trial in New York.

He will appeal the then SCOTUS will overturn.

One of us is seeing, and hearing ...
and one of us is not.

... but, as Christians, to pray for one another is usually good.

I wish you well, also.

I'm so glad you have come out of that coma you've been in for the last year. Gee, there's a lot for you to catch up on.
Trump has been accused of many things that didn't amount to anything.

It's hard to keep track.

How are these crimes?
Wait! Are you saying he's been convicted of some things that aren't crimes? Why didn't you contact his defence team? They could have used that information.

Faith that I will continue to ask people exactly what crimes Trump supposedly did?
Oh, I expect that subject to get rehashed a bunch, too whether by you or others.

Are you asking this because you don't know, because you don't think we know, or for some other rhetorical purpose?

If I were made King Solomon for a day, I would make the sentences concurrent rather than consecutive. So a maximum of 4 years.
I would make them consecutive, but since this is his first conviction I'd be lenient and give him only one year for each count. Well, the max is 20 years, so that.
