  • 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.

Not Woke! Awakened! A Welcome Event

The only people who participated in those protests Saturday were people who were never ever going to vote for a GOP person. IMO, those protests accomplished nothing except reveal to some Americans how hateful and radical some of those protesters really are.
Not everyone likes a mirror.

You're wrong. What gave Harris a loss of less than 1% (a micro-tragedy, not a mandate) were people stayng home. The candidate change really hurt.

A lot of them now have skin in the game, having been fleeced by inflation, tariffs, budget cuts, health costs.
People who've been fleeced register their displeasure.

And while i, being a "just one look, that's all it took" am shocked it took them so long, they are welcome.
You are incorrect.

President Trump won a strong majority of votes in 31 states. He did win a mandate.

I have no idea what the OP or this thread are about.
Apparently it is about the largest group therapy session the world has ever seen.

A lot has happened since then, none of it good.
Most of what happened under the current Trump administration has been very good.

Turkey, Argentina and Myannumar?
From Google Gemini:

The following are the key peace-making agreements and declarations brokered or led by President Trump and his administration this year (2025):

### 1. Gaza Peace Plan (October 2025)
This is the most significant peace-making deal of the year, culminating in a ceasefire and hostage release between Israel and Hamas, and is intended to end the two-year Gaza War.

* **Official Titles:** Referred to in various White House and news reports as the **"Trump Peace Agreement"** and the **"Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity."**
* **Key Components:** The plan, often described as a **20-point proposal**, called for:
* An immediate ceasefire and suspension of all military operations.
* The return of all remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
* A phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
* The demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.
* The deployment of an international stabilization force.
* Transitional governance by a technocratic Palestinian committee supervised by an international body called the "Board of Peace," chaired by President Trump.
* A massive reconstruction and economic development plan for Gaza.
* **Signatories/Parties:** Israel and Hamas (mediated through Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey). The subsequent "Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity" was co-signed by the Presidents of **Egypt** and **Turkey** and the Emir of **Qatar**.

### 2. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – Rwanda Peace Agreement (June 2025)
This agreement, also called the **Washington Accord**, was brokered to resolve the long-standing conflict between the two African nations.

* **Signed:** June 27, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
* **Key Components:**
* Called for the withdrawal of Rwandan troops from the eastern DRC over 90 days.
* Required the DRC government to end support for the FDLR militia.
* Established a regional economic integration framework focused on critical mineral supply chains, involving the U.S. government and U.S. investors.
* Affirmed mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.

### 3. Armenia – Azerbaijan Joint Declaration for Peace (August 2025)
The administration facilitated an agreement between the two nations following decades of conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

* **Signed:** August 8, 2025, at the White House.
* **Key Components:**
* The initialing of the text of an agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Inter-State Relations.
* The closure of the OSCE's Minsk Process.
* Commitment to opening communications, including a transit corridor linking mainland Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic through Armenia.
* The development of this corridor, named the **"Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP)**, with the U.S. having exclusive development rights for 99 years.

What was in it for him?

Israel: Bloodbath Beach Resort
Congo: Rate earth minerals
Armenia: His very own name branded highway.
Ka-ching. Ka-ching.
Specializing in enriching his bottom line.

No returns or guarantees, like his overpriced watches.
