  • 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.

And now the Oval Office is equally gaudy.
How awful. Impeach him for bad taste. You might actually get that through.

I mean bad taste is FAR worse than being a president who is not mentally competent to govern and hiding it.

Ah, it was appreciation for him that you were showing. Well good for you then. I took it wrong. Nice to know you agree with us that men can operate outside stereotypical gender norms and still be men.
100%. You can be fully a man and engage in various stereotypically feminine concerns. In fact I'd say youre a bit less of a man if you constantly deny your own interests due to social pressures. Of course some men genuinely just arent interested in these things, and thats fine too.

But my main purpose there was to gently needle hyper traditionalists who hold to rigid gender norm expectations of their male leaders.

Bad taste plus lacking the moral competence to govern and showing it off is probably worst of all.

I imagine it's pretty close to Dolly Parton's idea of what the waiting room in a bordello should look like.

And now the Oval Office is equally gaudy.
And the comparison is even more apt...

He's expensive, but he's compliant.

I'm not sure if it's for Pride Month or something, but a Reuters journo notes that Trump has put his picture on the wall of First Ladies.

I guess the gold frame is on back order.

A better trolling move would've been to hang this one up...

He meets both your criteria for awful, except that he is not hiding his mental incompetence.

It's not a recent concern...

More concerns are being raised about former President Donald Trump’s health, with some news outlets questioning whether he is exhibiting signs of dementia.



But it's becoming more noticeable lately...


U.S. President Donald Trump's embarrassing error during his military parade has some wondering about the leader's mental state after an obvious mispronunciation.

During his speech, Trump told the reportedly 'small' crowd that "there is no earthly force more powerful than the brave heart of the U.S. Infri man."





And he's known to be at higher risk for dementia:

Reading activity prevents long-term decline in cognitive function in older people: evidence from a 14-year longitudinal study

Int Psychogeriatr 2020 Jun 5;33(1):63–74

Some of it, like his delusion that windmills cause cancer, and his belief that one needs ID to buy groceries, are likely a matter of ignorance, not demential, IMO.
