  • 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.

More likely it’s Trump projecting. He expects loyalty from anyone he hires, regardless if the position is non political in nature, therefore, she being hired by Biden ( for a non political position), means she remains loyal to Biden to the point she will put out false information just to make Trump look bad.
Hypothetical, conjecture.

It's interesting how a certain group all repeat the same thing. In this case the choir all saying "he expects loyalty" even thought that makes no sense whatsoever. Because everyone expects loyalty. No one expects disloyalty. It's like saying Trump expects his staff members to have a pulse.
No. For example, in previous administrations, the Justice Department had no personal loyalty to the president. The concept is they are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution. It's why Comey was so disturbed when Trump asked him to be personally loyal to him.

So Trump derangement Syndrome is so intense people temporarily hate the concept of loyalty when it brough up in the context of Trump?
Loyalty is almost as bad as strong leadership.

Right, a boss favoring loyal employees is unheard of.

Are these employees working for all Americans or just Trump ?

That's like asking if employees are working for the company or just the boss. Furthermore Trump is working for Americans. At least those Americans who want what Trump is providing. Why else would a 79 year old billionaire mogul non-career politician be doing what's called the hardest job on earth?

Attention, ego, and monetization of the office.

If only you had evidence of that.
You're still asking for evidence of Trump's stated reason for firing McEntarfer?

That doesn't change the fact that that's his reason for firing McEntarfer.
The BLS simply reports what their statistics give them. The methodology is flawed but all estimates are not perfect. No one at the top can change numbers or the methodology on a whim. From time to time their are large variances. I have heard of no variances because of direct manipulation. "The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calculates the monthly jobs numbers through two main surveys: the household survey and the establishment survey." On the 60k household surveys people can lie. Businesses to can lie in establishment surveys. Ill assume immigration status fears could make the data less accurate too. But it could be as simple that immigrants are driving the job losses?

He got just as much attention when he wasn't president. How much richer did he become as president? See none of those repeated ulterior motives make sense, because he could get the same thing without doing the hardest job on earth at 79.

He would have gotten just as much attention, ego boosting and a lot more cash if he had gone on speaking tours, which would have cost him one tenth as much time and energy.
