• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Meanwhile Democrats in Congress (besides Omar) seem to being quite well financially.

While the Republicans in Congress struggle to make ends meet...

They certainly struggle to pass funding for DHS despite their majorities.

And it was totally unnecessary. Meanwhile Democrats in Congress (besides Omar) seem to being quite well financially.
Oh, do you guys now care about DHS personnel quitting because politicians made their jobs miserable?

Because that’s quite the turnaround from when you were cheering on DOGE’s obliteration of large parts of that workforce. The engineers I know who left that environment were doing something more substantial than the obtrusive security theater that TSA specializes in.

There's a lot of waste, inefficiency, and abuse of power in the federal government that needs to be addressed. Cutting off funds to Homeland Security threatened our national security, and cutting TSA employees slowed the economy.

Fund them separately, that way we can keep better track of the money that we’re sooo concerned about.
Why’s that “bad”?

ICE was already well funded for years. This is about the Democrats going after our workers and our economy. The goal is to damage the successes of the Trump administration.
