• 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.

  • 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.

^_^ Yeah, the Trump Administration did fire probationary employees. This is what gaslighting looks like. You did not see what you thought you saw.

The Trump administration has retroactively edited its guidance that required agencies to gather lists of their recently hired employees to reflect that it is not mandating any specific firing actions.

The World Clown Association (World Clown Association) has apparently issued a press release saying that they have not been, or are now connected to or associated with DOGE in any way. A spokesclown said that any public comments about DODGE that used terms like 'clown show' or 'bunch of clowns' might lead people to associate that department with members of the Association and could put those members at some risk. He asked if the public might take a moment to understand the stress that hurtful comments such as those noted put on genuine clowns and their families.

Elon Musk was approached for a comment but has not replied.
