  • 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.

Gee, remind me again, in the last election, which party ran a convicted felon
The convicted part remains to be seen (since it is still under appeal).

which ran someone who prosecuted criminals?
The D's ran her for 2 reasons, and 2 reasons only: 1. She is female (unless she has declined to answer that question), and 2. She claims to be black (even though she is bi-racial). I guess the other 1/2 is not politically advantageous.

As of today, December 17, 2025, Trump is a convicted felon. His appeal doesn't change that.

They can't. Cat meat is Haram, forbidden by the Quran as the meat of "fanged beasts of prey." No dogs, either. :D

Nope. He was convicted, that's a fact. If that changes as a result of the appeal (as unlikely as that may be), then he'll simply be a former convicted felon.

The D's ran her for 2 reasons, and 2 reasons only: 1. She is female (unless she has declined to answer that question), and 2. She claims to be black (even though she is bi-racial). I guess the other 1/2 is not politically advantageous
Regardless of why she ran, the point was, if any party can be said to "partner up with criminals," it's more likely to be the one with the convicted felon as a candidate, not the one with a prosecutor.

(staff edit)
No, it still happened. A lot would necessarily depend on the reasons given for the reversal, if that happens. That Trump committed the acts he was proven guilty of seems pretty conclusively demonstrated by evidence, so I highly doubt he'll be found to not have falsified business documents. Let's not forget, appeals courts don't reexamine the evidence, appeals are based on legal issues, not matters of fact. So, even if the conviction is overturned somehow on some legal technicality, he will simply be yet another rich guy who committed fraud and got away with it.

Only liberals really believe President Trump has committed fraud. The rest of the nation denounced that belief in November 2024.

Well, them...and all 12 members of the jury who saw the evidence and were convinced, beyond the shadow of a doubt, of his guilt.

The rest of the nation denounced that belief in November 2024.
People can often believe any number of untrue things.

Yes he was convicted in a kangaroo court by a rogue judge and procecutor in a blue state . With multiple reasons for appeal. It was a sham of a trial that many liberals still salivate over as a trophy conviction.
Regardless of why she ran, the point was, if any party can be said to "partner up with criminals," it's more likely to be the one with the convicted felon as a candidate, not the one with a prosecutor.
It remains to be seen if she will be convicted, but the deranged prosecutor who ran on “getting Trump” actually according to public records committed the same type of fraud she drummed up against Trump. As for Harris she was a weak incompetent candidate who had no business even running. Do you forget she did not win the nomination she was installed by a cabal with no regard for the voters and real supporters of the Democrat party.

Don’t be so sure of yourself. In your zeal to besmirch Trump you could wind up with a reversal. If someone was falsely convicted with shoddy court proceedings it was a false and unwarranted conviction. But I do realize the “I hate Trump crowd “ will always claim victory even though it was ill gotten gain.

You incorrectly assume all trials are constitutionally upstanding and run by competent judges and prosecutors. It is a provable fact that we unfortunately have some rogue judges and prosecutors some of which are currently in legal hot water themselves. That is how the justice system actually works . Just because Trump was convicted in a kangaroo court by liberal activists does not show justice was actually served. The final chapter is still being written. Stay tuned.

Why wasn’t his defense able to persuade the 12 jurors? You are leaving half the story out.

Do you forget where this trial was held? It is actually sometimes hard to get and impartial jury. That why venues are sometimes changed. I know it is more advantageous to the liberal narrative to claim all was above board and the Trump conviction was actually blind justice but nothing could be further from the truth. We shall see how all if the appeals come out. This was liberal lawfare plain and simple.
