  • 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.

Reducing crime is never a bad thing, but that is not what this is. This is an ego that saw some homeless folks on the way to golfing and became disgusted. Poor baby. He was the king who didn't want to see the reality of his kingdom. Instead of curing the lame and feeding the poor, he kicks out people who have nothing. What we need at this moment is some brute power, right? Wonderful story.
No wonder crime is so rampant in DNC run cities. Young otherwise able bodied people, like the ten assailants who beat Edward Coristine to a pulp in an attempted car jacking, are supposed to be the victims. I live downtown (in another city) and I also don't like the groups of young junkie street dwellers I have to walk past, weaving my way though all of the garbage, feces, and vomit puddles they leave around.

Recently though the city finally cracked down on that and it's not nearly as bad as it was. But I suppose I should be appalled by that eh? Outraged over the brutality that must have gone into making the streets safer and cleaner. As a good Christian I should attend city counsel meetings and demand they put things back the way they were, right? Well what about programs, and facilities, and shelters, and services to help them? There's scores of that here. But they don't want to go though the process because it involves getting off drugs and assuming a certain level of cooperation and responsibility.

Yeah, it's scary, but it's not going to be solved by giving into power. I mean, draw the line somewhere, just so we all know it can be drawn. Are we pining away for a king? I'm not. If you r a monarchist, you and I disagree.

Poor working class people like me are the ones who are the most subjected to unsafe unsanitary conditions around town. There's no king here. No despot who's authoritarian brute force made my city safer and cleaner. The only actual complaint is that in DC it happens to be Trump who's spearheading a similar clean up. It's just the usual if Trump does it, then it's the act of barbaric cruelty enacted by a tyrannical despot, and carried out by his gestapo. I really wish some folks would get a grip.

All that means is you're not rich. You and me are the same, in terms of class. Don't be fooled by the rich.

What that means in my case is I living in a 15 x 10 shabby hotel room and driving a 25 year old car. And believe me I'm not fooled for a second by rich Democrats and liberals pretending they care about the poor and constantly claiming they have empathy. All they care about regarding the poor is their votes and counting on them being gullible.

What do republicans do? The GOP is all for the rich and poor folk ensure they stay rich. Conservatives have lost their way. They have exchanged dignity for servility. They have exchanged honor for groveling. It's embarrassing, and I'm not even Republican, Y'all need to stand up and act like you live.

The liberal DNC want to be in control of everyone. They want to regulate both the rich and the poor. And because they've become the party of radical liberalism, they want to make that the driving force of society. The quintessential wolf in sheep's clothing. Which is why the party is suffering, because people can only be fooled to a certain extent.

Is this the same Democratic Party that we’re constantly being told is ready to collapse?
Mercy me, I wish we could make up our minds!

I said it's suffering.

DNC Chair Ken Martin said it's hit rock bottom

So make up our minds about what?

But you don't know how an internet forum works? Seriously? You put something up on a forum, and anyone can comment.
Sure but usually you will comment consistent with what the poster wrote. That is how a conversation goes. Me thinks you need a “forum posting” remedial.

The hunted is now desperately trying to deflect attention away from his activities with Jeffrey Epstein. Not working so well, right now...
Yours and similar opinions are trying to deflect from current grand juries and subpoenas by making Epstein the major story. The Epstein story will eventually get its due. Your shameless attempt to make Trump a pedopile is baseless. You have been called out for trying to make Trumps prior interaction with Epstein equal to Epstein’s unlawful acts. There is no evidence against Trump that he ever engaged in sex with minors. What is your opinion of the mounds of evidence recently released to the public implicating multiple liberals in outright unlawful plots against Trump. Since you claim to be a fact based poster here let’s see you comment on some real facts. The hunted is now the hunter, enjoy the show .

This opinion ( which you are entitled to) is devoid of actual facts as to the reason for the actions you decry. Allowing unlawful camping in public parks is not a government program to help the poor. There are food banks , shelters and churches to deal with these problems. Allowing homeless encampments in public spaces is not a reasonable solution, and supporting such unlawful encampments does nothing to help the people you are concerned about.

Come let’s stop with the King stuff. Trump is no king and doesn’t act like a king . Trump is actually doing his job which is a refreshing thing to see in a President. Claims of Trumps kingship coming from some who support socialistic Ideals and politicians is quite amusing.

Barack Obama Defeats Trump by Double-Digit Margin in New Hypothetical Poll

Obama received 52 percent support in a head-to-head against Trump, who garnered 41 percent, according to a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll of 1,013 registered voters conducted July 9 to July 10. The lead fell well outside of the plus or minus 3.1 percentage point margin of error.

The survey found Obama performed particularly strongly among Hispanic voters (73 percent support) and Black voters (68 percent support). Among independents, 50 percent favored Obama, compared to 39 percent for Trump.

There is no evidence against Trump that he ever engaged in sex with minors.
He was actually sued by one underage girl for doing exactly that. He bragged about getting away with sexual assault. He was caught creeping into the dressing room of underage girls. He was a frequent flyer on Epstein's Lolita express. And you wonder why people think he's a pedophile?

What is your opinion of the mounds of evidence recently released to the public implicating multiple liberals in outright unlawful plots against Trump.
Show us one of those. Got one as disgusting as Trump barging into a room of undressed kids?

You have been called out for trying to make Trumps prior interaction with Epstein equal to Epstein’s unlawful acts.
Show me where I said that. Be honest with yourself, at least. I'm merely pointing out what the public has already noticed. It's very suspicious that he's refused to release evidence that could clear him. Assuming that it actually doesn't implicate him. I'm not the only one noticing:

Trump faces backlash as 69% believe Epstein details concealed


If he's hasn't got anything to hide, why is he hiding it?

Since you claim to be a fact based poster here let’s see you comment on some real facts.
See above. Those are facts. Try to find a way to accommodate them.

Neither Obama nor Trump can run again so just a hypothetical mind exercise. Do not want to include Biden’s approval rating also?

Just shows how Obama has the trust of Amricans.
And Trump doesn't..
In a theoretical mind exercise kind of way. The real test comes in the 2026 elections. I think polls have proven how error prong they are.
