  • 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.

We are now dealing with copycats, sending cryptic threats to public figures, using the “86” reference. Whether they turn out to be legitimate threats or not, taxpayer-funded public safety agents are going to have to run these all out and investigate them. This is a reminder of the damage self-serving individuals, with a history of extremely poor judgement, can do when they fail to control their impulses.

I take it that those people are the ones suggesting that it meant killing Trump. In which case I certainly agree. Nobody needed to run checks on anyone selling or buying t shirts with the same code referencing Biden.

He blamed his wife today. That’s pretty smart, she can’t testify against him
No, he didn't. She just told him that she'd worked in a restaurant and the code meant 'out of stock'. There's nothing to blame anyone about. Except those who want to desperately politicise anything and everything to score cheap points.

Context matters! 86ing a food item is not the same as 86ing a sitting President. With Comey’s history of hating Trump and history of previously claiming to randomly find a sea shell political message on the beach his lame excuse rings hollow. With his experience in law enforcement he knew exactly what it meant. Ironic for liberals to talk about someone else trying to score cheap points!

Oh yes? So all those shirts being sold talking about 86'ing Biden mean Trump supporters want to kill Biden? Going to deal with that at some point or just continue to ignore it because it interrupts your tempest in a teapot?

Not an ample comparison. I doubt very seriously those shirts were printed by a former FBI director. Comey knew better and still was an idiot and now is lying about it and convincing the gullible.

The post below is from a former Navy intel officer who has more than 3 million followers on Twitter.

What message do you think he was trying to send to his followers when he posted this?

Oh, is that how it works? It is only an issue if certain people say the magic phrase? It's perfectly OK if Trump supporters do it but the second someone else does it then it becomes an issue? So tell us all how you know his mind. Where did you acquire your mind reading powers Postvieww?

Look, the whole thing has been blown out of proportion and the Secret Service didn't need to visit Comey but his explanation is bull hockey.
(And apparently you didn't get the joke)

You're right. Any complaints about this tells us more about the pearl clutcher than it does about anything else.

It’s still reasonable to point out Comey’s stupidity
No. It's not. Comey seems a decent man that would never do something in jest that he thought could be taken as some people have tried to spin it. The only people at fault here are the ones who are trying, rather desperately, to make some political mileage out of it. To what aim...I have absolutely no idea. As another distraction? Who knows...

You have no idea what Comey would or wouldn't do.
Some people just come to his defense because he's anti Trump.
I agree too much hay is being made about this but it was stupid of Comey, and to pretend that he didn't know how some people would take it makes him either naive and stupid or grossly incompetent

I saw this shell formation on the beach, it said "Indicted "
From what I read yesterday. That Trump hired a new attorney Lindsey Halligan. Because Erik S. Siebert because she wouldn't falsely indicate James Comey. Which means , that someone is breaking the law for Trump.
