• 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.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Allegations without proof.
I hear you have to go through a whole Trump Trinket online mall to find information.

What you are calling "Allegations" are instead actual receipts and proof for the wasteful spending.

The outrageous hyperbole is an allegation (or lie.)
A few receipts doesn't justify shutting down a department.
I guess they should shut down the Secret Service because Trump charges them sky-high rates for their Mar a Lago rooms--which might otherwise go vacant. Even $11K for golf carts.
There should be a maximum per diem reimbursement--not highway robbery.

Some of the shutting down of departments is only temporary until the federal government can stop the fraud, abuse and wasteful spending. Most of the departments you fear that are being shut down are NOT totally shut down but instead they shall be up and running in just a matter of time. I'm not going to address your assertion about Trump and the Secret Service because that assertion is not worthy of a response at this time, IMO.

The assertion is based on the Secret Service exceeding its budget in August in his first term because of the confiscatory rates Trump charged the government.


The courts are preventing the shutdowns, hopefully forever.
Do you think the best and brightest will hang around through all this? They will be replaced by sycophants and yes men, destroying the integrity of the institutions.

Many of the institutions of those federal government bureaucrats have lost their integrity a long time ago.
