  • 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.

?? No, progressives believed Trump was going to create massive problems in the first month and a half--and they were absolutely right. Tariffs will raise prices on imported goods. Reciprocal tariffs will hurt our manufacturing as foreign countries buy less American-made products.
All those laid off federal employees will get a double whammy---higher prices and no income to buy things with. And then those laid off employees hurt by reciprocal tariffs will be in the same boat.
Senior citizens who rely on savings will be hurt by the 1000 point drop in the stock market--and who knows how much worse it will get.
It was Trump voters who believed he would solve all the world's problems--and I hope they are beginning to see things with clear eyes--after 8 years of lies, insurrections, and broken promises.
Not watching the SOTU speech. In the first place, heaven help us, I know what the SOTU is.
In the second place, I would rather hear the facts from the fact checkers than listen to an hour of lies.
I will listen to Jayapal's lucid, articulate, informed response instead.

Yes, Chicken Little type of statements.

Why do you guys complain about him not fixing everything then? When somehow in your crystal balls you knew he was going to make things worse?

It sounds to me like you thought he was supposed to fix everything within a month and a half and if it wasn't then he was a total failure and we'd see the collapse of America. Well neither is true.

He isn't even trying. They gave him Project 2025 and he could have read it for his SOTU.
It would have been just as oligarchical but more articulate.
