  • 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.

    "Don't Give up the Ship"

    Yeah thats why I said the principle doenst include it. There are situations where a person would be reasonably capable of judging an order illegal - even if theres also other tricky edge cases.

    "Don't Give up the Ship"

    Of course they have that in mind. But this is a good time to reiterate the principle. And the principle does not include following clearly illegal orders while the court takes its time. For sure these domestic deployments arent as clearly illegal like murdering a pow. But the lawless...

    "Don't Give up the Ship"

    I dont believe the video in questions mentions any specific circumstances. The sense is that the president does not feel constrained by law in his presidential actions (and in fact is not constrained as of recently). And so who knows whats coming down the pike. Its a pro active reiteration...

    What we need is an economy that works for most Americans.....

    Is that the framing? I mean, the OP is pretty neutral re the fed govts role here except to express skepticism about a couple fed govt proposals.

    "Don't Give up the Ship"

    Are you sure? I've always heard that service members themselves have the responsibility to resist clearly illegal orders. They dont have to wait for it to go to trial. You are ordered "kill that p.o.w. over there".... then what?

    "Don't Give up the Ship"

    Politicians should be very careful when calling for the death of other politicians. If they cant do that, it calls into question their suitability for office.

    What we need is an economy that works for most Americans.....

    That^ is a great example of what Im talking about: how uneven bargaining positions allow employers exaggerated leeway to set the prices on workers labor. This allows irrelevant factors to creep into hiring criteria. (Relevant factors being the real money value of workers contribution.) Also in...

    What we need is an economy that works for most Americans.....

    Im not sure how that relates exactly to the economy. My off the cuff sense is the more that theres 50 different sets of rules across the land for how business can operate, the more friction and waste there is in everything business does.

    Clinton's avoiding deposition

    You arent even on the playing field when you just do an AI dump. Thats more like sending in an autonomous drone you bought off the shelf. As for public intellectuals (real or pretend), I find zero inherent value in leveling the playing field by any other method than study and practice. It...

    What we need is an economy that works for most Americans.....

    Those two definitely need to be in the mix, along with cost side items like housing and health care. I also wonder how many people are in the right bargaining position to discover the real value of their work.

    Clinton's avoiding deposition

    Its not so much the facts themselves as the capacity to frame them in your own words - which is a measure of whether youve vetted and understood them Absent that, we may as well just have AIs fight it out here while we step back and watch tiktoks or take a nap.

    Clinton's avoiding deposition

    This might sting loyal Ds if he was still in office. But hes long gone, and his moral reputation has already taken a lot of hits - which is a shame because in most other ways (but not all) he was a pretty good president.

    Federal judges block Texas from using its new US House map in the 2026 midterms

    Surely the R party supreme court will step in to protect their own sooner or later.

    CNN Dem Panelist Shocks Jennings with Major Admission on Lawfare Against Trump

    I do think they were out to get Trump. And elements of his NY trial were unconstitutional imo. But I also think hes actually guilty of many types of illegal fraud and cheating that are entirely worthy of prosecution. And then theres the election interference felony case in GA. Thankfully...

    America does create a ton of wealth. Amazing that so many people here have basically zero assets.
