• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Very clear

How about a comment. Some indication what this is about and why you are posting it and that I'm not wasting my time responding.
You are never obligated to respond.

Don't they, though? If every president has their history of gaffes, then the only thing odd would be a president without gaffes.

I think it's more along the lines of "Well Bush did this!" instead of "Ya that is pretty ridiculous that Biden has trouble even talking". It feels like people want to point to other presidents as an excuse for the current one's mistakes. Like how the Egyptians felt the need to imitate Moses's miracles with their own. Like a one-up battle instead of just a conversation of the topic at hand.

He has a history, aknown history of being a stutterer. I can't watch the video right now but part of me wonders whether this is related

Correct. It's just the penchant of "The Right" to make fun of people with disabilities/conditions/differences of any kind that they consider to be not "normal". It seems to be the basis of their whole ideology. Shunning of "the other".

Well it's not like their most recent president was a model in that regard so you can't REALLY blame them.

Mocking poor leadership is perfectly acceptable.

That’s not relevant to this thread.
Someone with a history of stuttering is getting made fun of for [checks notes] stuttering but that's not germane to the thread?
Calling people out due to making fun of someone's disability in a thread is certainly a buzzkill but you COULD just say "oh yeah. That's right. Forgot about that. My bad".

Next time just complain that dems voted for a "mouth cripple" be president instead.

In my time working with emotionally and behaviourally troubled youth with all manner of diagnoses, I've come to understand that empathy cannot be taught.
Making fun of a medical condition is 100% relevant to this thread.

Frankly, it's EXACTLY what is happenning in this thread (by some anyways).

The accusation against Trump and the reporter was debunked almost five years ago - repeating it does not make it suddenly true.

Beyond the Trumpwins -

No one is making fun of Biden's stuttering by pointing out the man does not know what he is talking about, makes repeated false statements and gaff's. The WhiteHouse is in perpetual reverse walking back all his blunders.
