  • 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.

Because unless your goal is projection, I just assumed you are using words that you do not understand.
I'm curious why you'd assume that? I haven't seen him ever struggle with definitions of words.

I guess there's nothing to be afraid of regarding Trump then.
Sorry?

You seem to think that having a president that fails often suggests there's nothing to be worried about? You have an interesting rubric for choosing your leaders.

Man who fired a gun into ABC affiliate office had note to ‘do the next scary thing,’ prosecutors say

Authorities also found a handwritten note which said “For hiding Epstein and ignoring red flags,” Ho said.

[Suspect was critical of Trump, but prosecutors don't know why the station was targeted or if it had anything to do with Kimmel.]
"A search of the suspect’s car turned up an anti-Trump book..." I called it. Trump hate was his motive. Does anyone else see a pattern?

If he's a failure at being an autocrat then there's nothing to worry about along those lines.

Then it is pure projection. The "I know you are, but what am I" argument is not going to work anymore. The Democratic Party is the true Dr. Frankenstine, and the man who shot up the building is one of many monsters that they have created as a product of their hatred for Trump. Now, they can no longer contain or control them.

It really doesn't help you to ignore reality when you make claims about a LARGE political wing.

What are you talking about? Are you just rambling? Did you even try to follow the conversation before chiming in?

The comment to which I was responding was this:

That was probably the last straw regarding a 22 year old failing show.

The other poster was, essentially, making up an excuse for ABC's move that ABC didn't even make for themselves. Subsequently, that poster denied the realities of the threats that Trump and his officials made against ABC. The world he's described in this thread is a figment of his own imagination. I proposed that the justification for this construct was that he was trying to assuage his own cognitive dissonance, to which he then responded with obfuscations and red herrings.

There was no projection here. The "I know you are but what am I" charge doesn't even make any sense. I was addressing a specific set of comments from a specific person.

Him being an autocrat out to get the left was what the worry about in this case.
What are you talking about? He's made it clear he hates his enemies. He's is certainly trying to go after his enemies. He pretty much brags about it.

He's very good at a lot of things. A failure in others.
Well in reality Trump didn't institute ABC/Disney suspending Kimmel for one week, just like he didn't institute Sinclair broadcasting refusing to air future episodes on the ABC affiliate stations they control.

I bet you did not realize that the study you are referencing has been debunked. Did you know that on election day 2024, over 200 arrests were made due to political violence during the protests? Can you estimate how many were convicted? SUPRISE! There were zero. Did you also know that because there were no convictions, none of the leftists' politically motivated acts of violence were actually recorded as political acts of violence? Why? Because Joe Biden...that is why. The reality is that the liberal left makes up a vast majority of the political violence. Conservatives do not even come close, which is why I called it in the second or third post in this thread. The bad actor was a liberal leftist. I didn't even need to read the article; I just took a wild guess, knowing that statistically, it would be more probable that I would be right than wrong, and guess what! I was right! Just like how I knew that Charlie Kirk's shooter was a radical leftist just hours after the shooting, when liberals were suggesting that it was some MAGA alt-right conservative who fired the shot.

There is some comfort inn his ineptitude for sure.

But for his supporters, It must be maddening that he can't just own the libs enuf.
