  • 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.

James Comey indicted again, this time over seashell Instagram post

Trump claimed the "86 47" written in seashells was an "assassination" threat.

The new indictment centers on a controversy that erupted nearly a year ago when Comey, in a since-deleted Instagram post, shared a picture showing the numbers "86 47" written in seashells on the beach with the caption "Cool shell formation on my beach walk."

Citing the slang meaning of "86" as to "nix" or "get rid" of something, allies of the president alleged that the post was a veiled threat against Trump, and the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service quickly launched investigations into the posts.

When asked about the post last year, Trump suggested that Comey should be prosecuted over the post, which Trump alleged was a call "for the assassination of the president."

Pathetic.

Trump has lost almost every case that got to the court system and this one will be thrown out.

Now I'm convinced.

I don't think people should be insulting the president and I think he should be using the full weight of his office to intimidate anyone who crosses him.

AND I believe in free speech!

Once this gets thrown out like the last one, next up, jaywalking.

Pam Bondi was fired for her failure going after Trump's enemies, Blanche is in desperate dire straights to please his boss.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes I just get overwhelmed by the quality and astuteness of his arguments.


Sometimes he convinces me. Although I usually then blackout and wake up in a ditch in someone else's underwear the next day.

So, I'll just stay in my bed for the rest of the evening i guess.

Remember, the hypocrisy on display here isn't a bug. It's a feature.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect" - Frank Wilhoit, 2018

I wish I could remember a similar quote about MAGA specifically, how hypocrisy is an essential element - a deliberate tactic of contradictory statement and actions, performed exclusively in service to the achievement and maintenance of power. Power is the point and hypocrisy is a means to achieving the end.

Another word that has some bearing on hypocrisy -- or at least one group being treated differently than another.

AI Overview [Google "fascism in group out group"]


Fascism operates by strictly defining an "in-group" (nation, race, or culture) as inherently superior, while scapegoating "out-groups" (minorities, immigrants, political opponents) as existential threats. This us-vs-them structure fosters unity through hatred, justifying violence, discrimination, and the removal of democratic norms to protect the perceived purity of the in-group.

Myth of Victimhood: Fascist movements claim the majority in-group is in decline or under attack by an out-group, allowing the majority to feel like persecuted victims who must fight back.

Suppression of Dissent: Those who stand up for the out-group are demonized, and the state uses propaganda, coercion, and violence to enforce loyalty and compliance.

Demonizing enemies: Framing opposition as enemies of the people, not just political rivals.

Contempt for democratic norms: Viewing elections and rights as obstacles to national greatness.

Call 555-886-4547. We have detected suspicious activity on your account. Or, we will make a cash offer on your vacant property. And there is a package delayed due to unpaid tariffs.

Good luck getting voting republicans to acknowledge it.
