• 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.

Good grief....over-reacting much...!?

Where have I suggested we should call for the hangman..?? Like you, I look forward to further investigation. Where we perhaps differ is that I am more suspicious of the "let's get this over quickly" or "there's no evidence" or "nothing to see here" crowd...

And again, we have been presented with SOME information....that isn't "nothing", as you earlier claimed...

So tell me, what will be your response when the full transcript of the memo is released? If it consolidates the claim thus far that Trump tried to influence Comey to drop the Flynn investigation, what will be your view?
What will yours be if he did?

Will it be the same as it was when Obama did influence Comey ... who then dropped the investigation into Hillary's misdeeds?

I am? I was just showing that there continues to be new information coming out day by day - in contrast to the claim that there's nothing new to the story.

But Hannah's point, which you were addressing, was not "there's nothing new to the story." You apparently addressed a Strawman.

That's compelling if you ignore her post in which she addresses what you are saying. However, she took into consideration what you are treating as "new," and what the media had already reported, which necessarily means, at the time she made her remark, there was "nothing new to go on." You had not presented anything " new to go on" and neither had the media at the time of her remark.

LOL, Comey seems to have a pattern of sitting on important information for extended periods of time, doesn't he?

Lot of that going around -- Dig up Scalia and ask him.

ITT I learned that a new report isn't new if you put "new" in quotes. I guess this is the kind of stuff we get when Trump's twitter goes silent and there's no guidance on which "new" (oops) talking points to use.

Regardless, Hannah made an excellent point regarding the available evidence as the evidence existed at the time of her remark.
