  • 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.

But wait…there’s more. Here’s a summary of Trump’s debate with the ABC moderators (Kamala was there too)

Or maybe (and this is going out on a limb) the people who actually live there can see what's going on better than the State governor can.
Was the city manager good enough for you?

I'd rather talk to eyewitnesses.
One way to look at this is that if it was a court case, who would you put on the witness stand to testify about whether something happened or not? Would it be an eyewitness who saw what happened, or would it be a government official at any level?

JD Vance admitted it was a lie. You can stop defending this nonsense now.

Since you and I aren't in Ohio, we have to do with the officials who have investigated incidents, etc.

Nothing in that article backs up the claims that it was due to anything Trump said.
Try to keep up, we were talking about bomb threats occuring. Daisy mentioned that they are being made and Haitians are being targeted. I posted that yes, they were occuring and links to articles about it happening, after you questioned that it was happening. Please point out where in any of my posts I talked about them being due to Trump? The original source of why this was occuring didn't come up.

Stop being obtuse. It's easy to see that you can't talk about this topic honestly when you start making statements like this to hide behind. Everyone talking about the bomb threats has talked about them being made in Springfield, no one has said that they were said to have specifically targeting the Haitians, though I'd guess they go to the schools and hospitals that have been targeted as well.

Bomb threats are made in lots of places not just Springfield.

Like I said, you are now just being obtuse because you can't logically argue your way out of the corner you painted yourself into, so you refuse to answer honestly. Quite disappointing especially considering your position here.

My position is that there is no evidence that any of the bomb threats in Springfield have anything to do with Trump.
Maybe you could try blaming them on the residents who spoke up at the city council meeting about the Haitians.

SARCASM ALERT: See, the problem is that Trump and Vance said that it was Hatian migrants eating Springfield's cats and dogs. But it was actually African migrants eating Dayton's cats and dogs. So the entire story is false and should be ignored. Who cares that there are actual migrants that Kamala let into the country who are actually eating people's pets. That is trivial nonsense intended to distract from the fact that our border is stronger than ever thanks to Kamala Harris.

I do not believe in the post you originally replied to there was any mention of Trump. Let me check.
Nope, none. Just that the town has suddenly now had a spike in bomb threats. And then you started saying "if there was evidence". Since what you replied was talking of bomb threats, you questioned if there actually was any bomb threats. And there was. You brought up Trump afterwards, only you, to try to distract from this instead of just admitting that yes, there were threats and you were wrong.

Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine revealed Monday that a recent spate of bomb threats targeting the town of Springfield have all been “hoaxes,” with some originating from “one particular country” overseas.

The 77-year-old governor told reporters Monday that law enforcement has responded to at least 33 separate bomb threats made against Springfield government offices, schools and medical centers since the town was thrust into the national spotlight over the influx of Haitian migrants.

“Thirty-three threats; Thirty-three hoaxes,” DeWine said during a press conference in Springfield. “I want to make that very, very clear. None of these had any validity at all.”
