  • 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 Trump amplified a vulgar joke about Vice President Kamala Harris performing a sex act. He falsely accused her of staging a coup to secure the Democratic nomination and faulted her without evidence for a security lapse that enabled a rogue gunman to try to assassinate him. He shared a manipulated online image of Bill Gates in an orange jumpsuit and a call for Barack Obama to face a “military tribunal.” He promoted explicit tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory. He hawked digital trading cards in an online infomercial along with pieces of his debate night suit. (“People are calling it the knockout suit.”) His campaign feuded publicly with Arlington National Cemetery over their visit.​
And that was just in the span of 24 hours......​
But when it comes to the former president, the burst of activity on Tuesday and Wednesday was a snapshot of the chaos that has defined his political career and in some ways marked a throwback to his first run in 2016, when he waged a frenetic, unpredictable campaign that put his party on edge all the way up until his surprise victory.​
Vulgar (actually obscene) jokes will not win over women. It shows how crude he can be. It shows there is no bottom to his lying and insults.
It does not befit a president.


*Remember folks, QANON cannot be promoted here.

If this news is not a sign of the End Times, I am not sure what is. Also, the stuff from Trump's mouth reminds me of Psalm 10:2-7. Now, I do not like either party at the moment, but one politician running for office in 2024 seems to resemble the man from this Psalm, and not in a good way.

Psalm 10:2-7 (NIV): In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord. In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies. He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.” His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.

Now he thinks that wind turbines cause people to eat less bacon: Trump appears to tie high bacon prices to ‘horrible’ wind energy

“You take a look at bacon and some of these products – and some people don’t eat bacon any more,” Trump said. “We are going to get the energy prices down. When we get energy down, you know … this was caused by their horrible energy – wind. "

That doesn't even qualify as word salad.

It’d be like electing a character by James Joyce.

Pommer, who is half convinced we’re in a Vonnegut novel, hi ho!

Good evening sir,

You're speaking in Greek, I'm speaking in Hebrew.

I have no idea what's going on.

Sounds like Donald may be clinically certifiable for the loony bin.

I wouldn't be surprised if he needs treatment. He probably won't consent to that.

I won't go into medical ethics if someone should be forced to receive treatment against their will.

We are speaking about mental or emotional health here.

Joyce’s characters famously spoke in “stream-of-consciousness*“ fashion, unfiltered and raw, that’s a fine and good thing for a fictional character to do, not so much for a presidential candidate.

*Vonnegut’s characters just didn’t have a sense of “propriety”

True, that can be for an ethics forum. He does need treatment, and of course, Trump never would consent, cos he is Trump. Nothing we can do about it. But hey, in 10-20 years, we will not have to worry about Trump anymore.

Ah.

I'm not familiar with Joyce. I've never read anything by him.

Virginia Woolf was also famous for her "stream of consciousness." I only read one novel of hers which was a pain to finish.

I'm not as well read as you. ;)

Yep. Remember, this life is fleeting, but we must do what is right in this life for the betterment of God's Kingdom. Neither of the two candidates seem fit for that task. Anyways, it is getting late, so God bless, brother.

Joyce is a slog, 900 pages of
”If you’d like to remain sane, stop trying to make the world ‘make-sense’!”

He was brilliant at what he did even if that was to be the literary-Andy Warhol of the twentieth century.

I’ll never fully appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of a blacksmith, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not worth doing, somebody’ll buy it; if they can do that artistry with words…I can appreciate that.

Giants of the twentieth century, Joyce, Woolf, Kafka - and now Trump:

You take a look at bacon and some of these products – and some people don’t eat bacon any more,” Trump said. “We are going to get the energy prices down. When we get energy down, you know … this was caused by their horrible energy – wind. They want wind all over the place. But when it doesn’t blow, we have a little problem.
Or maybe it is just, you know, wind . . .
