  • 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.

What amazes me is how a single American could respect these words or fail to see the vindictiveness and evil contained therein.

Age eventually catches up with everyone.

President Trump is approaching a similar position to where President Biden was in 2024. It is only a matter of time before President Trump may need to rely on staff and autopen, as President Biden did in 2024.

His signature already looks like it was written by a seismograph.

Where is Biden?
PRobably sleeping on the job while Musk runs rampant through the US government. No, wait, he's not president anymore, so who cares where his is right now.

It also betrays a fundamental misunderstanding that members of congress generally have immunity based on their official actions while in office.
Trying to prosecute a legislator for “doing their job” only throws sand into the oil of the machinery of governance.

Trump once again exceeding his authority. Only the courts can declare if the pre-emptive pardons are legal and if the signature is legal. I would suggest though to arrest Fauci and see how it plays out.

What legislators were involved in signing legal documents for a man not mentally competent to do so himself?

What legislators were
What husbands were involved with beating their wives?

Anyway, Pommer's reference is to the Constitution:

Article I, Section 6, Clause 1:

The Senators and Representatives shall ... be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

Speaking of beating wives, this is how Rep. Nancy Mace can speak in the House chamber and accuse her ex-boyfriend of sexual abuse and not be sued for defamation.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Republican member of the Jan 6 Committee

The Tantrum Tyrant Wants to Threaten Me?! Cool Bro, Bring It

The January 6 Committee did its job. It stood up for democracy while Trump and his sycophants tried to burn it down.

And now, because he can’t handle reality [of what Jan 6 was], Trump wants to puff out his chest and threaten the committee? Fine. Do it. Or shut up.

Let’s be crystal clear: this is a bluff. A desperate, weak, and ultimately meaningless bluff.

The truth is, Trump won’t actually follow through on this. He never follows through on anything that takes actual courage. It’s just another attempt to stoke fear, to look tough to his cultish followers while he cowers behind his endless grievances. If he actually had the guts to stand by his words, he wouldn’t be whining on social media about how unfair life is.

I am glad we are all finally in the acceptance phase of the grief process now that everyone is now admitting to what conservatives have been saying since 2020.

I don't think we are talking about elected members of congress. They are suggesting unelected staffers were forging Biden's signatures.
