  • 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.

Biden said in a mocking tone, "How much have you heard this phrase, ‘the blood of liberty … washes those' – give me a break."

Yeah, right, Joe. That's exactly what Thomas Jefferson said. :rolleyes: Word for word.

Come along now; we have some warm milk and cookies for you, and then it's time for your nap.

Pathetic. :mad:

Um, ok...

(43:33)
So I said, “Let me ask you a question.”

(43:35)
And he said, “Nobody ever asked this question, and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT,” very smart.

(43:43)
I say, “What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery’s underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?”

(43:58)
By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. Do you notice that? A lot of shark… I watched some guys justifying it today. “Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was.” These people are crazy.

(44:14)
He said, “There’s no problem with sharks. They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now who really got decimated and other people too,” a lot of shark attacks.

(44:22)
So I said, “So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, and water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” Because I will tell you he didn’t know the answer.

(44:42)
He said, “Nobody’s ever asked me that question.”

(44:45)
I said, “I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water.” But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark.

And this:

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

New hit just dropped. Christians should love this one:

"Religion is such a great thing. It's so... it keeps... you know... there's something to be good about... you want to be good. You wanna... it's so important. I don't know if it's explained right. I don't know if I am explaining it right. You know you want to be good. You want to go to Heaven. When you have something like that you wanna go to Heaven, OK? So, you want to go to Heaven so, if we don't have Heaven, OK, you almost say, 'What's the reason? Why do I have to be good? Let's not be good. What difference does it make?'"

This quote is from "Meaww?"

That seems like a site the cat dragged in.
One has to wonder if it is the new Onion.

Taking it at face value the 'definitive' proof that one could own a cannon is just one law article published in May 2024! Since Biden does not have a day job it is totally reasonable that he should spend hours every day searching for articles like that one. [/sarcasm].

It is also worth noting law is often reactive. E.g. a law does not get written until there is a problem. If someone can find evidence of individuals parading their private cannons through town before, during or after the Civil War I'd love to hear about it.

That’s very stream of consciousness. Biden gets into a stream of unconsciousness. Different problems. Both pronounced.
