  • 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.

I don't have to base my opinions of the guy on what almost everyone else thinks. I can see it myself. That so many people also consider him an embarrassment to the US doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
It doesn't surprise me either. It's sad, but not surprising.
That's kind of a concern to be honest.
No it's not.

That deals with lawmaking. If thugs are breaking into your house during the night, would you call your legislator?
:)
no, your local police department NOT the FBI or ICE or the president

Now if you had said that the more vocal that people are in denigrating him then the more vocal you will be in supporting him, then makes sense. But this doesn't:
I don't see a difference between disliking him more and being more vocal about it. They mean the same.

I don't see a difference...
Surely not. You like someone more because of what they have done over and above what caused you to like them in the first place. No-one likes someone more just because someone else likes them less. Makes no sense at all to me. But...you be you.

I can't read people's minds. I can only know their level of hatred by how they vocalize it. Or how violent they get.

Again, and I've got to make this my last comment on this matter, higher levels of hatred however presented shouldn't make you like someone more.

Whether I acknowledge that he is skilled and 'right' is pretty meaningless. It's how the rest of the world sees him. A very short heads up from here about how others saw his UN speech: Press Review - 'Deranged', 'staggering', 'incoherent': Papers react to Trump's UN speech

British Dail Mail called it 'deranged'.
French Libération calls the speech "staggering", "violent" and "incoherent".
Spanish daily El País: Trump's aim is to "blow up the rules of the international game".
Germany's Die Zeit says that Trump's accusations are "becoming crazier every minute".

And as he posted on Truth:

'It was a great honor to speak before the United Nations. I believe the speech was very well received...The teleprompter was broken and the escalator came to a sudden hault (sic) as we were ridding (sic) up to the podium, but both of those events probably made the speech more interesting than it would have been otherwise.'

But no less embarrassing.


My sister thinks this country is under the 5th cycle of discipline. I did a lil reading. One of the attributes is incompetent leadership. It's not just Trump it's the GOP relinquishing their own power and SCOTUS enabling him. It all makes sense now.

Clearly you don't know the addictive thrill of pure spite.
