  • 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.

>> A grand jury has indicted former president Donald Trump for a raft of alleged crimes stemming form his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Trump’s legal team was notified Tuesday that the former president had been indicted, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the indictment had not yet been made public. <<
Article gifted.

It's too late for Christmas in July, but it will do. Unfortunately, this will only encourage his supporters. He's a martyr, a Jesus figure, if you will. Poor Trump. We need to contribute to his campaign so he can pay his legal fees.

Happy third indictment day to all those who celebrate!

May justice be swift and with the same brutality he reserves for his critics. Of course I can't repeat his name calling here on this forum.

Next year's gonna be really busy for Donald. He's going to be doing all that campaigning, plus the criminal trials. He's going to have to split his mud-slinging between judges, prosecutors, and candidates. And on top of all that, he's going to have to keep hiring and firing all sorts of lawyers.

Not to mention the legal fees of witnesses and co-conspirators.

I don't see the charge of "election interference" mentioned....


"....the Defendant perpetrated three criminal conspiracies:

a. A conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371;

b. A conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified (“the certification proceeding”), in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k); and

C. A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241.

Third time's the charm?

Or perhaps third time's the chains?

Or perhaps "three down, one (Georgia) to go!"
Or perhaps a free campaign driven by the Biden DOJ in the Banana Republic, as president Trumps poll numbers soar

All of those fall under the aegis of election interference.

Praise God. He is a righteous judge. And we will all reap what we sow. Trump should have learned humility at some point. This is a much tougher lesson for him at this stage of life.

Wrong. IN a banana republic, junta leaders aren't held accountable for their crimes. Donald choosing to run for office doesn't grant him immunity from being held accountable for his.

I believe that falls under the “conspiracy to defraud the US” charge

Just when I thought the dumbest claim I'd ever hear from him and his ardent believers was that treating the supposed laptop like the October Surprise it was, was election interference.

It's like they don't realized they're tacitly admitting the laptop was meant to effect the outcome of the election.

Trump is always the victim, never treated “fairly”.

We don’t owe him anything.
If fact, we got change coming!

The country is so polarized, people have already made up their minds. Or they just don't care either way (a large segment of the voting public are just apathetic and disengaged, even among Democrats).

No doubt. It's hard to get excited about either prospect. Kick me in the privates or kick me in the teeth; just get it over.
