  • 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.

"The libs" may or may not be doing whatever.

I'm talking about what this low character president is up to. "Trolling" etc should be beneath the office. Hopefully we'll get an adult in there sooner or later. But I'm not sure people want that.
Your post is a perfect example of what I just described! Thank you for the confirmation.

Don’t you expect more from a president than trolling the people you don’t like? That’s what I don’t get. You wouldn’t accept this behavior from Biden or Harris or Obama.

Why are you fine with it on your side?

As I keep asking, what other constitutional limits are funny to joke about ignoring?
Do you really want to get into an “ignoring the constitution “ conversation?

I expect more from democrat leadership by actually loving their country more than cow towing to the radical left. They could start by realizing why they actually lost the last election and their poll numbers are in free fall.

No problem. My objections to the man are quite reasonable and principled. And if thats also where most of "the libs" are at, like you say, then there's hope from appx half the country.

I also sense that a good amount of classic conservatives have a quite dim opinion of this presidents character too. But they put up with him based on certain policy hopes.

Half of the country and a good amount of classic conservatives does not compute to the actual poll numbers the Democrats are experiencing right now.

I didn’t ask you about Democrat leadership, I asked about the president.

I’m trying to understand why it is you accept such childish behavior from someone in such an important position. Do you think it doesn’t matter?

I already explained and you miss it. Trump is fighting foolishness with foolishness. Why do you accept unhinged hatred of Trump from many of the Democrats in leadership positions. We won’t even include the bazaar no kings protests based on lies.

I’m asking you why you like a president acting childish and your answer is because the democrats act the same way?

You have a problem with this behavior from the democrats but then support it when it comes from your own side. That just doesn’t make any sense. I’m sorry, but it sounds like you don’t have any principles.

Why do you accept unhinged hatred of Trump from many of the Democrats in leadership positions. We won’t even include the bazaar no kings protests based on lies.
That’s not the topic of this thread, the president is, but using your own logic above, I could argue that I accept that behavior from them because the president acts the same way.

Do you see how your own argument reflected back doesn’t work for you?

Give me a specific example of what you are talking about?
The president joking about ignoring the 22 amendment, even selling merch about doing it , you know the topic of the thread. Now, what other parts of the constitution are funny to joke about ignoring?

I hate to repeat this, as it's kind of depressing, but I've always believed that we're quickly accelerating in the direction of socialism, with no way to change course.
I think that you are right. My reasons would be that but corporations are getting too much of what they want from the government. Failing to correct this is pushing many towards not just wanting more, but in some cases real need. U.S. health care is broke completely. Many of the government programs are too. For instance the social security surplus was not invested to maximize returns such as occurred in Norway, but instead to maximize low interest loans to the U.S. Federal Government. I would think the USA could change course, but something would need to be done with the huge public debt. At a minimum you have to get deficits (the yearly red ink) close to balanced.

Your error is a failure to appreciate that disapproval of Trump low character doesn't imply approval of this or that other politician or political group.

Sorry you just don’t get the fact that Trump is trolling gullible liberals because they give him the ammunition to do so.

You do realize there is very little in the political spectrum we are going to agree on. What you call childish behavior by Trump is his response to the same kind of behavior from liberals who tee up the ball for him to knock out of the park. Trump is trolling gullible liberals who continually give him reason to do so. You spend all of your time complaining about Trump while ignoring the provocations of liberals.

Have you considered it’s the liberals who are triggering him? I mean if he responds in kind every time he becomes pretty predictable, right?

I'd say we're verging closer to a novel form of feudalism, rather than a socialist government. The crony capitalism facilitated with the revolving door of corporate lobbyists to government positions is quickly creating a situation where we have a landed caste and a growing peasantry who are being stretched thin just to get by. I am guessing its just a matter of time before we go from an unofficial neo-feudalism to it becoming an official designation.

Right, only the 22nd? The rest isn’t a laughing matter? How about the second amendment? Would a democrat president selling I’m coming for your guns merch, maybe offering it to republicans they met with in the Oval Office, be good lols? They’re just trolling gullible conservatives after all right? So presidential!

IMHO too many liberals are focusing on the wrong things. Trumps method of trolling gullible liberals is not the pressing problem of this nation. Democrat senators holding this nation hostage by not voting for the same CLEAN CR they voted for 13 times before all to get 1.5 trillion in new spending PART of which WILL pay for illegals health care. Part of which they claim is for subsidies for Obama care which they set to expire. Many liberal leaders endorsing a communist con man in New York is far more concerning than any of Trumps trolls. Liberal run cites have leaders fighting the rule of law by refusing to do their jobs and up hold federal law and federal law enforcement officers. We are now learning how bad the criminal Jack Smith was violating rights and laws by illegally spying on sitting Republican Senators and conservative organizations. I could go on and on but the liberal supporters on this forum will just have to forgive me for my lack of concern for Trumps trolling of gullible liberals.
