    Solar Eclipse Today!

    Is anyone here in the path of the total solar eclipse we’re having today and will you be having any kind of watch party? I’m in So Cal so we will only be seeing a partial eclipse but I’ll still be trying to get a (safe) glimpse of it before it’s gone. Feel free to share any thoughts or...

    Why not Nikki

    Since we have a thread asking the question "Why Trump?" with some insights into the GOP voter's mind in that thread, I figured I'd ask the inverse of the queston to our Republican friends here at CF AmPo. Why not Nikki Haley? I can understand (sort of) the feeling of unfinished business...

    Biden’s Gettysburg Address

    Just dropping this here for anyone interested. It’s in my opinion, one of the most stirring speeches I’ve ever heard. For comparison, at about the same time and throughout the day, Trump delivered a tweet storm of stupidity from his bedroom in the White House.

    Let’s try...

    ...to be civil for just one day. We can go back to our cyber civil war tomorrow. Let’s use this thread to reflect back and remember where we were on that fateful day, 19 years ago.

    To lighten the mood a bit...

    With the inevitable made-for-tv movie that will come of all these hearings... I'd love to know who's going to get cast and for what role. I'll start us off and anyone can add whomever they like to see play their favorite characters from the impeachment hearings. I pick comedian Jeff Ross for...

    Eddie Money has made it to Paradise

    Just heard the news that singer Eddie Money has just passed at age 70 after a bout with esophageal cancer. I had just recently heard about his fight with cancer. I grew up on music that predates me and his song "Two Tickets to Paradise" was always one of my favorites, among so many other great...

    My solution

    A national fund for the victims of mass shootings to have their funeral arrangements covered by the American taxpayer. If we’re not going to take the necessary steps to reduce the frequency of these attacks for the sake of defending the Second Amendment then the least we can do is help the...

    "You know who got me elected?..."

    "I got me elected!" That's right... Not the millions of Americans who voted for him to be president, no. Not the team of people that ran a successful campaign for him. Uh-uh. None of them came to mind first to answer that question in Trump's mind. He did it. He got him elected. It was such a...

    Small request

    Hey everyone, I'm not usually really big on prayer myself but I'm feeling pretty down today and don't really have anywhere left to turn at the moment. I'm asking for a quick prayer for my family's cat Luna that's been missing since last night. She's not a 100% indoor cat, she likes to go out...

    Trump or Congress?

    Simple question: Who do you blame for the government shutdown? Bonus question: Who do you blame for it having lasted this long?

    Michelle Wolf kills at Correspondent's Dinner

    I haven't seen too much from this funny lady until now but I fully expect the right-wing outrage over her routine at this year's White House Correspondent's Dinner to propel her career into the stratosphere.

    Ajit Pai Doxxed

    I don't really want to link to any articles because I'm not sure how that works with someone's personal information being at stake but you can search for yourself for FCC Chairman or "Ajit Pai Doxxed." Apparently Anonymous had warned and has now released FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's personal email...

    Happy Veteran's Day!

    I would like to extend a personal thank you and wish a very happy Veteran's Day to all the vets we have here at CF. Not sure if this fits in with American politics but I figured this would be one of the more active parts of CF. Whatever your thoughts about the election or politics are, let...
