  • 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.

He has gone to extreme lengths to get elected, and, had he not appointed indebted judges he wouod have faced indictments all over the country. In Arizona, they called him an unindicted co-conspirator.
He sees the polls. He knows he's on the ropes and that he's only survived in office till now because he's surrounded himself with yes men.

Trumps order seeking legitimate elections shows he is.
He’s not looking for legitimate elections, only elections that favor him. Going after mail in ballots, specifically, primarily affects the voting systems of democratic majority states. Coincidence? And it all need s to be done before midterms. No attempt to manipulate the elections right?

I tend to look at the history of elections and how one party gets in and has a run and when they start to cause problems economically, socially and through law and order they tend to lose and the other party gets the chance to have a go and change things.

It usually works out that each party sort of has equal amounts of time in office as rarely is there such great results that cause people to keep voting the same party in for very long. That is the nature of how politics works.

But even more so in modern times where it seems the parties are much more polarized and people can see the obvious differences. That people still vote for the same party that actually causes problems is ideological and not reality or good for the region, State or nation.

But what I am seeing in the recent elections and especially the California elections is that the current administrations have gained a hold on power regardless of what they do. It is glaringly obvious that the administration has failed. Massive homelessness, crime, drugs and mental illness everywhere. Massive amounts of money unaccounted for.

If its anything like other Dem cities with fraud, then this is a big problem that is just being ignored and covered up with welfare fraud. That is not a good look or gives confidence that the same leaders are also not corrupt in other ways.

California is now being exposed to massive fraud like other Dem regions. This is a massive red flag.

It seems the same thing is happening with voting. Why would anyone think that delaying counts for over a month is a good thing. All these mails in votes changing outcomes. Something fishy is going on here.

If these cities and States are committing massive fraud and the whole system is fraudulent then this casts daubts over the integrity of the whole system. If there is corruption, then those in power have good reason to stay in power.

It seems when they do lose power, we find massive fraud and corruption going on. What are they hiding.

But most of all these cities have become no go zones of filth, crime, drugs and homelessness throughout public parks and streets. Billions of dollars not making a difference and being lost in the system.

Why would anyone want to vote for more years of this? It's not as if those in power are making any difference. They are making it worse and yet still win the vote.

That doesn't make sense and smells fishy to me.

Do you mean the fraudulent voting systems of democratic majority states? That is what is happening with mail in ballots! Just look at California it is happening right In front of our eyes. Why is it democrat majority states feel the need for mail in ballots if not to cheat?

When it comes to keeping elections legitimate you better believe him. If not you soon will when we get this mess cleaned up.
What mess? The fact that CA Republicans lost in a majority Democrat state? The only mess I see is Trump and his followers crying fraud every time an election doesn’t go their way.

Along those lines...

DOJ debunks social media claim of discrepancy in LA mayor vote count while Trump sows doubt in California’s elections

On Friday, however, First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli — a Trump appointee who leads the Los Angeles-based US attorney’s office — addressed the conspiracy theory.

“There was a claim circulating on social media about an election night ballot update at the Los Angeles Registrar of Voters where one candidate received zero votes,” Essayli wrote. “We reviewed official county records. The claim is false. Each candidate received votes in every update.”

The conspiracy theory around the mayor’s race comes as Trump has claimed repeatedly without evidence, that the slow pace of the count from Tuesday’s primary was a sign of Democratic “cheating.” The Justice Department then sent one of its attorneys to observe ballot processing in Los Angeles, the county’s election office told CNN.

Have you, perhaps, considered that your view of the situation in California might be a teensy bit distorted, given that you live in (checks notes) Brisbane, Australia? Have you been to California recently? Have you ever been to California?

California's primary election was 6 days ago. I'm not sure where you're getting that they've delayed results for a month.

I am so busy trying to figure out why anyone would have voted for Trump once, twice or even three times.
But I do have an answer to your question about fraud in the democratic cities. It's easy. Trump is weaponizing his agencies to go after democratic cities. He is subjecting them to ten times the scrutiny that he gives red cities. Truth be told, his own administration would not hold up to even cursory scrutiny as far as dishonesty goes.
So I don't worry about propaganda and lies about blue cities. There's too much to worry about on the federal level.
