  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Oh okay, I didn't know there was organized campaign going on. I will gladly join it. But we need to start with teenagers first. I have literally heard one of them incorrectly use the word literally three times in one sentence. :D
Yes, I know! <Shudder>

:help:

No, not really. We all go through that eventually. It does tend to cause one to be more introspective. Not sure how it affected Trump.
I don’t know. I haven’t had that experience.

That's called being "grazed."
So grazed in the head?

Jimminy Christmas why do people try so hard to make and an assassination attempt were someone was actually hit by the bullet and came within an inch or less of having his brain blown out like it was nothing?

I have a sneaking suspicion they wouldn't be so nonchalant if it was them or a family member.

It's honestly disgusting.

Absolutely. I'd vote for a woman in a heartbeat if she was a good conservative.
If you understand the context of the saying, "Only Nixon could go to China," then it's probably likely that a conservative woman will be elected president before a liberal woman.

We certainly are not saying "like it was nothing." You're strawmanning.

Well that's how I see it. People continue to downplay it. I think it's completely uncalled for and I've done a good job of explaining why.

It was an act of God. I believed that even when I was dead set on not voting for Trump.

Exactly, someone like Michele Bachman or Sarah Palin, perhaps? I would have voted for them over Harris any day!

Yup. There is no straw man. Just disagreements.

Some liberals actually cheered over it, a woman is South Dakota lost her teaching job over saying the would be assassin missed.

Maybe those who hate Trump so much REALLY aren’t good as they think they are.

I have to say I thought the California vote was completed when I posted but actually stands at 63% as I post here. The shift I noticed has decreased but is still around 11 million but I’ll try to keep up & see as to how premature my post was. The other factors you mentioned are also pertinent of course.
It sure seems to take a lot of time to count the vote in good ol’ California. It is still only 72 % counted and Trump’s margin of the overall popular vote is decreasing to under 4 million. Obviously Trump’s victory will be complete regardless and the leftists agree.

California vote as of 12:40 AM ( east coast US time)



The leftist movement seems to have a saving face plan to at least lessen the margin of the popular vote and rail against the electoral college. An article from the Marxist, extremist, radical, far left Nation magazine indicates this. The article is from Nov 8th and clearly says that dragging out the vote count is a good thing and that the electoral college is bad ( of course read it to agree or disagree).

I wonder how conservative the middle of Northern California is? California is a rather HUGE state, so I cannot really make a blanket statement and say they are all liberal.

Obviously, liberals in California outnumber conservatives.

Trump is actually leading in what must be the more rural interior ( in red) on the Wikipedia map link:



Wiki has 75% of the vote counted whereas general google search has 72%.
