  • 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.

There’s a question!
Will players be allowed to tote supplemental oxygen around the pitch?
(Will it be “legal” to play the ball with such equipment?)
Knowing FIFA, they'll just give the players more commercial hydration breaks. You know, for their health and wellbeing.

IMO, the best solution for the relecting pool is to stop fighting nature. Pumping potamic water into a shallow concrete pool with no natural filtration is an invitation for algae paradise.

Convert it to a natural pond and let nature take care of the water quality using a biofiltration system similar to natural swimming pools.

Make it a constructed wetland waste water treatment pond for the White House.

Then we could look at birds and fish and green things rather than the gunky reflection of a stupid obelisk.

In years to come:

Daddy, what's that awful scummy pond?
It's called the Trump Memorial Swamp, kiddo. It reminds us of a man who not only failed to drain it, but actually spent his years in power filling it up.

Alert: Due to power outages affecting our administrative offices, transaction postings have been delayed. We are working diligently to complete all postings as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
No, Trump failed with the reflecting pool and everything. He screwed it up and Trump had the nerve to play stupid and blame it on other people, when he screwed up. It has nothing to do power outage.

Justice Dept. admits Reflecting Pool renovation was ‘hasty and botched,’ drops case against former Olympian

DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office wrote in a new court filing Friday, “It was not until after the return of the indictment [of Hearn], that the [Department of Interior] provided additional documents to the [US Attorney’s Office in DC] indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, and the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026.”

The “sentence” was two-months’ fear of legal-jeopardy and has been carried out.
If this ends up keeping vandals from destroying Federal Property then it’ll have all been worth it!…seems to be the “plan”.

Of course it was all nonsense. I think even those here who tried to justify the false accusations knew it was nonsense. Box wine Jeanine probably knew it as nonsense from day one. I just don't understand how people are so willing to debase themselves to protect Trump from embarrassment. In the case of the Trump DOJ ran by his personal lawyer Todd Blanche, that even means trying to jail someone who they knew was innocent.
