• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

All those voters in the tourism industry who supported him because of no tax on tips are now becoming unemployed? Couldn't they see he was unworthy of their trust?
Not their faces surely?

You should have been here when this thread was actually taking place in June. I'm afraid I've lost my train of thought regarding it since then.

I fail to see how that is a response to what I posted. Just more denial an deflection.

I think Trump and associates are trying to crash the US/world economy hard so they can buy stocks cheap and then wait for the huge bounce back at the end of his term with a new president/admin.

Trump is someone who knows enough about money. He may not be a finance genius nor even capable of making responsible decisions but Trump certainly knows money better than most former presidents.

So if the economy seems heading for a crash or tanking hard and you have Trump as your president. Things are probably happening deliberately. Someone is trying to make billions at people's expense, at the whole world's expense.

Someone being rude to me isn't going to prompt me to have a discussion with them.
