  • 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.

Epsteingate, from the people who brought you Russiagate.
Russiagate saw about a dozen Trump underlings convicted or pleading guilty. Let's hope Epsteingate is as productive in snaring the creeps.

Regarding Epstein what sort of Trump underlings are you referring to?

Donald Trump told Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell to stop plucking young girls from the spa at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort to groom and sexually abuse.

If I know someone is going around committing burglaries, and I say "Just don't burgle my house", that isn't much of a moral slam dunk.

LOL. It was brought you by Trump's own conspiratorial base and Trump, Bannon, Patel, aka his circle ran with it.
This is a case of being hung by one's own petard.

Don't know that any "underlings" are guilty of anything but maybe obstruction of justice. Matt Gaetz's pedo problem isn't related to Trump's problems. But if there was a conspiracy to block the investigation,that could take down some perps at the top of the Justice Department.

Point is, Russiagate is a good analogy. Republicans claimed it was a witch hunt until one criminal after another was taken down. So far, just two nailed in the Epstein affair, but now the facts are starting to surface and it looks like Trump had a very good reason for trying to cover it up.

Pretty much sums up Donald Trump's ethical outlook.

Yeah I never understood this "Russiagate" thing as if it were some kind of hoax. I mean Trump officials were meeting with Russians at Trump tower hoping to bang out a deal for political opponent fodder. Then you had Trump's own campaign manager Paul Manafort openly admitting he was working with Russians providing them with political data. What are Russians going to do with political data while in the mist of a presidential race? Now the current admin is investigating this for the third time trying to whitewash reality.

Political standards have fallen—there was a time when a presidential candidate would step down for plagiarizing a speech ( Joe Biden) or for an extramarital affair ( john Edward).

In today's political climate, extramarital affairs and other forms of sexual misconduct are increasingly regarded as acceptable. Moreover, when these issues are raised as concerns about character, the individual highlighting them is often viewed as being at fault, rather than the person who engaged in such conduct.

Russiagate was a fraud and a hoax perpetuated by the progressive left wing liberals upon the American people.

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - John Edwards, whose bid for the Democratic presidential nomination focused on helping working class Americans, withdrew from the race on Wednesday without endorsing either of his rivals.


Trump had four we know about when running for president.

All those criminal underlings of Trump caught in the investigation destroys that belief.

So you continue to claim. Though after being repeatedly asked you could not identify what the hoax was nor how the liberals managed to trick the Republicans into conducting it.

Sometimes all that's left is denial.
