  • 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.

His lawyers cited the logistical requirements and the cost to both state and federal government every time he travels.
Mar-a-Lago is within 50 miles of two different military facilities (Homestead AFB and Patrick SFB) that have SCIFs.

But as I said earlier, there shouldn't be any reason to discuss the contents of any document with his lawyers, and they are unlikely to be cleared for it.

And, as I said, SCI documents can be made available for viewing and discussion in temporarily secured areas, which is usually the case when former presidents get their courtesy intelligence updates. Since his Mar-a-Lago residence had been certed before, it probably doesn't take much to temporarily secure it from time to time.

Surely they'd be redacted. I wouldn't have thought that anybody needs to know all the specific details of any document ('Top secret invasion plans of a foreign country' would, for example, cover it). Nobody should know the exact contents unless they are cleared to do so.

And it's a bit rich for Trump to ask for a secure facility where they can discuss highly confidential material when he's being charged with showing such to a reporter in his hotel...

Trump was warned that FBI could raid Mar-a-Lago months ahead of time, lawyer's notes show


In May of last year, shortly after the Justice Department issued a subpoena to former President Donald Trump for all classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump's then-lead attorney on the matter, Evan Corcoran, warned the former president in person, at Mar-a-Lago, that not only did Trump have to fully comply with the subpoena, but that the FBI might search the estate if he didn't, according to Corcoran's audio notes following the conversation.

Only minutes later, during a pool-side chat away from Trump, Corcoran got his own warning from another Trump attorney: If you push Trump to comply with the subpoena, "he's just going to go ballistic," Corcoran recalled. ... "that there's no way he's going to agree to anything, and that he was going to deny that there were any more boxes at all," Corcoran recalled on his recordings.

Corcoran's recollections, captured in a series of voice memos he made on his phone the next day, help illuminate Trump's alleged efforts to defy a federal grand jury subpoena, and appear to shed more light on his frame of mind when he allegedly launched what prosecutors say was a criminal conspiracy to hide classified documents from both the FBI and Corcoran, his own attorney.

Corcoran provided special counsel Smith's team with his recordings after, as previously reported by ABC News, the now-former chief judge of the federal court in Washington ordered him to do so, finding that Smith's office had made a "prima facie showing that the former president had committed criminal violations" by deliberately misleading his attorneys about his handling of classified materials, sources familiar with the matter said at the time.

It is dangerous that Trump would take classified material with him. He is irresponsible enough to do that. If he comes to the presidency again he will go after those he considered as obstacles to that or political enemies, at least there is a certain one he would have executed. And it is not safe from him trying to build a dictatorship. But Biden remaining is not safe for us either.

Democracy is just better than a tyranny or dictatorship, which we see everything sliding toward. But it always works that way with governments, as it has through history. But with democracy there is still dictatorial law pushed on the minority in elections, and if that is thought good you are alright with cops shooting and killing those who still won't follow the law voted on. It is happening and cops are not held liable for that. I think obeying God is better than having a system with laws voted on for which any might be killed, playing God this way with others.

Honestly Trump is the scariest of who would be in office, with his recklessness undermining the process of the election, holding on to classified information he shouldn't take with him, and threatening opposition, it is clear he would take over if he could, yet, others put in office do not have the capacity for such a job that they can show, and are really unqualified. It just is not that important for us to have governing leaders over us.

Biden is unsafe because he's not really running the show...a bunch of very far left people are running the Biden administration.

Trump's intention is to break all branches of the government so that he and his family and cronies are free to run wild.

We know the Democratic playbook. But you neglected to call Trump Hitler and claim that white supremacy is the greatest threat to our nation. We now have a president (and company) who has weaponized executive branch agencies for political gain, who has put forth order after order in defiance of U.S. law, and who has violated the laws of our nation in order to bring whoever over the border with the goal of eventually gaining more votes and control for Democrats. The world is in chaos and our beautiful cities in ruin because of Democrat policies on the border and crime. Trump indeed would send back illegals who have committed crimes, whether Hamas and their supporters who tear down American flags and demand the extermination of Israel, and hard core gang and cartel members and sexual predators from other countries.

He doesn't care about his cronies. They can get their own government.

There are no “far-left” people (in power) in this nation at this time.

Not discriminating against people is "far left" now?
The devil is in the details.

For instance, it essentially guts Title IX and any women's shelters that receive federal funds.

All the EO is stating is that any law that includes discrimination against women now be interpreted in the same way as the CRA was by the Supreme Court, which was I remind you not a far left body.

I do not call anyone else Hitler but A. Hitler himself. White supremacy is a problem to society. Government though fuels the divisive problems that would otherwise not be such big issues. Either party is part of the big corruption leading to a gap of the government from the interests of people generally.

You don't have to be "far left" to advocate for open borders. That opinion is pretty common amongst libertarians and neoliberals.
