  • 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.

Trump Confronted On Air Force One For ‘Pardoning People Who Assaulted First Responders’: ‘Why Did You Do That?’


[In New Orleans for the Superbowl, Trump] spent a few minutes meeting with first responders and families involved in the New Year’s Day attack

During his Air Force One gaggle, a reporter confronted Trump for pardoning January 6 rioters who committed violent offenders who “assaulted first responders” and connected it to his planned visit with the New Orleans responders.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I pardoned people who were assaulted themselves! They were assaulted by our government! I pardoned J6 people who were assaulted by our government. That’s who were assaulted and they were treated unfairly.

There’s never been a group of people in this country outside of maybe one instance I can think of, but I won’t get into it, that were treated more horribly than the people of J6.

So no, I didn’t assault. They didn’t assault– they were assaulted, and what I did was a great thing for humanity.

Although I couldn't understand a word he rapped, i've been advised Kendrick Lamar eloquently delivered an appropriate message from the American people...
And people were worried about End Racism.
Thanks, Kendrick. I should have used closed captions.
