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 is funny is that Bill Pulte's parents had two primary residences, though not since Pulte raised this accusation.
Bill Pulte, President Donald Trump’s appointee as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency since 2020, has accused Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook of fraud, alleging that the former Michigan State professor improperly claimed her primary residence on two properties -- one in Ann Arbor and the other in Atlanta.
Based on the allegations, Trump tried to fire Cook, hoping to have her removed from the board so he could push through lower interest rates. A federal judge has ruled that her removal is illegal.
Interestingly, Reuters, citing public records, reports that Pulte's father, Mark Pulte, and stepmother, Julie Pulte, have done the same thing Cook is accused of. The Pulte parents have claimed primary residences in wealthy neighborhoods in both Michigan and Florida.....
quoting Reuters in the article:
HIs parents may have to pay back taxes thanks to Pulte making his accusations against Cook, who clearly told bankers that the home in Florida is a vacation home.

This is exactly what authoritarian regimes do, heavy-handed policing of the law against ones political opponents.

You have to take into consideration that Trump tried to fire her before, but he was blocked because SCOTUS said, in this case, that he couldn't fire her without cause, so he had his underling find a cause. Turns out to be a bogus cause, but it's nevertheless "a" cause.
Some people will call this presidential overreach - me among them.
