  • 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.

“There’s an untrue assertion that a member of the former president’s team requested additional resources and that those were rebuffed,” Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the Secret Service, said last Sunday, the day after the shooting.
I am pleased they are beginning to tell the truth.

The solution is obvious, President Trump will just have an elite and totally efficient security detail culled from the best & the brightest Law Enforcers on the Planet and have the United States foot the bill. Such a force would be totally beholden & loyal to President Trump, and him alone.

Won’t that be nice?

The only part of this that is a partisan issue is the choosing of unqualified people. Security is for Democrats and Republicans, and people should have already been removed for the horrific failures. A shooter on a white roof so close to President Trump for so long, despite the CS team and all electronic surveillance, whether from drones or helicopters, is beyond belief. Then they failed to protect Trump. After Trump ducked down they should have completely covered him and kept him covered as they evacuated him.

Isn’t it your side who keeps telling us how bad government is at doing things?

This should be vindication of such views, but somehow you’d like for the Secret Service to be “better” for some reason?
