  • 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.

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    That does sound like a problem. If there was a first parameter check which failed though, they did check the area before Trump actually golfed there. I don't count it as a failure when I'm doing QC and I catch things on the last check.

    The allowed a guy to get to a fence. How far out should the security perimeter be on a golf course in a highly populated area?

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    I'm not sure why thwarting the second assassination attempt before the shooter got off a shot at Trump was "incompetence" exactly.

    Trump promises to deport all the Haitians to Venezuela.

    Weird. I get a "no page here".

    That one got taken down before I got to see it. Elon took down a joke about political violence that he made himself earlier today. I guess X's moderation is working.

    Trump promises to deport all the Haitians to Venezuela.

    I mean that speech itself isn't enough, but rather, we should walk the walk and live within the principles we espouse. It depends on what principle the employer is trying to espouse and live by I suppose. What do you think it is here? I wouldn't think flat prejudice is a good one...

    Trump promises to deport all the Haitians to Venezuela.

    The correct response to free speech we don't like is condemnation by our own speech and action. We do bare responsibility for what we say, not ultimately, as if we are responsible for anyone who might act in a way we don't support, but for what we're adding to the world. I would suggest that...

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    No one has ever done it to try to overturn an election. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/politifactwisconsin/2023/12/15/fact-check-johnson-claim-dems-used-alternative-electors-repeatedly/71895208007/

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    There's nothing exceptionally odd about fearing that the man who openly tried to overturn an election, openly said he will be a dictator on day one for applause, and has been granted absolute criminal immunity for his actions as president is an existential threat. I haven't heard anyone say...

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    So, long as everyone realizes that the only people to blame for political violence are the perpetrators and people who actually call for violence I'm fine.

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    I think the left considers those statements true. Should we stop saying stuff on account of there being the possibility of crazies perpetrating violence and allow him to say and do as whatever he pleases?

    And, if what "Trump meant to say" was that there were real problems being faced due to immigration, that he wanted to fix, maybe he should have said something more like that, and also how he wanted to fix them. Then the two people on stage could have had a debate on how best to handle it.

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    Yeah sorry, I was apparently reading someone else on another thread. Apologies. I edited that post to correct. I agree, but rather I think our inflamed politics has more than one cause. I'm not actually meaning to blame Trump here either, as he hasn't actually called for violence or...

    There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

    I'm just pointing out what I am seeing. I was just replying to someone criticizing the left for criticizing Trump as if they are apparently responsible for every crazy person who might want to attack him. (Sorry that might not have been you.)

    Trump promises to deport all the Haitians to Venezuela.

    I think calling for political violence is also deeply irresponsible.
