  • 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.

Trump suggests he’ll release Jeffrey Epstein ‘client list’ if elected: ‘I’d have no problem with it’

House Democrats release new Epstein emails referencing Trump

The publication of the emails comes on the same day that House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is scheduled to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month.

Once sworn in, Grijalva is expected to provide the final signature on a discharge petition to force a vote on a House bill that would compel the Department of Justice to release the government's full investigative files on Epstein.
I suspect they were holding back until Grijalva was sworn in (or in this case will be in a couple hours and they can't delay it this time) and signs the discharge petition and forces a debate and vote on the floor.

They should ask her these questions at night on the street. She could save the city on streetlighting given how bright her gaslighting is.

Many accounts that the GOP leaders leaned on Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert to change their views on the Epstein petition.

No dice. You can't dissuade those mama bears from protecting the children.

Discharge petition to force House vote on Epstein files succeeds with Grijalva’s signature

There is a long way to go, though, before the bill gets a House vote, which would happen in early December at the soonest.

Still, the Republicans who signed on to the petition did so over the objections of Trump and Republican leaders in the House.

A White House official previously said that signing the petition would be seen as a “very hostile act to the administration.”

The administration? Or just one member of it?

Trump and administration officials reached out to Boebert and Mace in the hours ahead of Grijalva signing the petition Wednesday, as either one of them removing their names would have prevented the effort from succeeding. CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel planned to meet with Boebert on Wednesday.

Not just one member...

Those would be a few more members of the administration actively engaged in the cover-up

Elvis dated Priscilla Presley when she was 14, but nobody wants to go after Tye King Of Rock and roll though. Nor the Rap stars, or Rock stars that do the same... one man's sins are greater than another's........
Apparently, the law can only be found in one book. What does it say about the age of consent?

They’re going to finally name names, maybe in the next batch?
You can be sure they will not release anything that implicates Donald. Must protect him no matter what even though his followers have demonstrated that they don’t really care.

Rich powerful men have had other rich powerful men to protect them. But the world is changing on this point. P Diddy, Harvey Weinstein, Epstein...
