  • 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.

MT Green was thrown under the bus as was Schumer by the far radical left on the left side.
She spent years screaming at people and they don’t rush to her aid? Odd that.

The level of "looniness" is irrelevant. You think whatever Trump-endorsed and approved candidate that runs to fill that seat is going to be less looney?

It's not just the Epstein stuff, she's also been against unconditional funding of Israel, and has been on the side of preserving ACA subsidies. (those are two issues that seem pretty important to some of the democrats, and it's unlikely they'll get another deep red district republican who agrees with them on that)
The only difference between Marjorie and the rest of the GOP House is that she wasn't an abject coward with complete fealty to Trump.
As far as "not bringing her into the tent"... that sounds like the approach of people who'd rather "lose with their principles" than actually score some political/legislative victories.
She didn't want in.
The GOP welcomed plenty of high profile Democratic types into their tent despite policy disagreements.

RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard would be examples of that...

Two pro-choice former Democrats-turned-independents.

Keeping in mind, whatever looniness you perceive in MTG, the pro-life perception is that abortion is literally murdering babies.

And they still brought them into their tent anyway.

"RFKjr"s only "political currency" was his bad health policy ideas and his anti-vax movement. Trump's pulling him in with an offer to let him trash US public health policy for few votes was a savvy one. He probably moved some voters, particularly of the "moderate" but anti-vax persuasion to Trump and all we have to pay is the next deadly outbreak.

Gabbard is a loon and the rarest of international sycophants -- an Assad-ist. (And a putinist, it would seem.) I can't even think of a constituency that she would influence, except perhaps the centrist, but-both-siders who are fooled into thinking that Trump is a coalition builder and the Dems are purists. She shouldn't be within 10,000 miles of classified information.

Respect for someone doesn’t mean denial of their faults. I respect Schumer, although I can’t stand his politics but thank the Lord for the golden rule. Politics fall within the area of our fallen nature.

Has no one considered the possibility that she realized, as a Christian, what she was doing and repents of it?
The Least likely explanation.

Her resignation is scheduled for a day after she qualifies for retirement benefits. Off into the sunset to enjoy her insider trading windfall.

I'll agree it isn't very likely, though it would be unChristian of me to rule it out entirely. Still, it is interesting that MAGA Christians won't consider it.

Looks like she beat Trump at his own game. Well played!
