• 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.

There’s a reason she’s the backup

Insightful...

I am meeting with a lot of folks. And the work that we have begun is the work that is going to be ongoing. There is no question, and I said this from the beginning, that our approach to this issue has to be with a commitment to a long-term investment and it has to be a commitment to consistency, the United States has to be consistent. There were times when were more engaged and we saw good results, less engaged, and we can see where the work and the partnerships then deteriorate. So I am committed to ensuring that we engage in an active way on the root causes, on addressing the cause and effect, and also being partners in the western hemisphere, understanding that we have a responsibility and if we ignore that responsibility it will visit itself upon us in a very domestic way.

She may not be the most concise speaker but at least she didn’t veer off into sinking boats, batteries, and sharks.

Isn't she supposed to be better than, rather than same as?

I don’t expect every leader to be talented speaker. Speech writers usually make up the difference.

This is immediately what I thought...

Especially former prosecutors. :doh:

It's weird. On the one hand, Democrats want you to believe that Harris is a shrewd prosecutor, and because of that, Trump would stand no chance in an unscripted debate with her. But on the other hand, they also admit that she isn't a talented speaker and needs speech writers to "make up the difference".

One would expect an effective prosecutor to be a good speaker. Your whole job as a prosecutor is to speak convincingly. The mind, it boggles.

"... a commitment to a long-term investment ..."
Translation of Dem-speak: "... a commitment to long-term spending". Nothing new here, move on.

Too bad incoherent ramblings are the norm from the alternative on offer.
'Is the same as', or 'is no better than', or 'is just as bad as' isn't much of an endorsement.

Agreed. And I would not say such things myself.
Ah I guess I misread your post. It probably didn't compute since there's such a slew of incoherent rambling quotes from Harris.

You must not have listened to her talk.
I have listened to both talk. Poor Donald used to be coherent; he could talk in complete paragraphs with complex clauses without getting lost. Nowadays, he is disjointed, repetitious and rambles terribly. Maybe you are not familiar with the Donald of yesteryear - he wasn't pleasant but he was articulate. #Sad

Both Trump and Harris ramble incoherently. It's odd that you only seem concerned with one of their ramblings.

I mean, what is she even talking about here?
