  • 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.

    No room at the inn; Go find asylum somewhere else; Trump seeks to cancel thousands of asylum cases; applicants can be deported to third countries

    It might be - if the majority of the board hadn't been appointed by the current AG, which would call into question their objectivity.

    NY Fed report says Americans pay for almost all of Trump's tariffs, water is wet

    No, that data says that. 2025 was the weakest non-recession year for job growth since 2003 (181,000 jobs added - compared to 1.46 million in 2024), and the manufacturing sector lost over 100,000 jobs.

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    "Intrusion" is a very vague word that can mean many things. Having read the actual article, the main concerns are about water usage, electricity rates, and loss of farmland, which aren't really neighborhood-level issues. And those issues don't magically disappear if everyone is fine with...

    All of those things existed long before the AI boom.

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    I'm not seeing anything in that quote about neighborhood-level impacts. A data center doesn't need to be in your neighborhood in order to make your utility rates go up. It doesn't even need to be in your state.

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    No, because the complaints I'm seeing aren't really about immediate, neighborhood-level impacts.

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    In the past couple years, perhaps, but there are approximately 3000 data centers planned or currently under construction (more or less doubling the current number - which also appears to have more or less doubled in 2025), and most of those will be dedicated to AI tasks - which are far more...

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    They are, essentially, the same thing as far as impact goes. And a lot more companies are building data centers than are building crypto mining operations now, so it makes sense that people are complaining about data centers more. The OP article would seem to disagree with your claim. I don't...

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    They're not environmentally friendly (they use tons of water), and they also significantly drive up utility prices. My state electric utility has requested an 8% rate hike for the next fiscal year, and has nearly doubled rates since I moved here in 2020. A large part of that is due to...

    Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested

    The information that the charges are based on came from the latest release of Epstein documents.

    Far-left group with foreign ties undermining US under guise of protest, report warns

    Capitalism and communism are both political and economic systems. In a purely capitalist country, you'd have some sort of oligarchical government, where those with the most money controlled all of the power. In a purely communist country, wealth would be evenly distributed, with power...

    Pentagon moves to turn independent military outlet into a ‘mouthpiece,’ advocates warn

    Might help you to read the context of that post. A user stated that it was "ironic" that one slanted news organization (CNN) was calling another slanted news organization (Stars & Stripes) slanted. The thing is, while CNN - as a private news organization - has a legal right to be slanted...

    Yeah, the talking filibuster hasn't really been a thing since the '70s.
