  • 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.

Trump's closing argument? Really???

Fine. Dont vote D. But how the heck did we end up with this guy being the other option?
Well, obviously, he won each and every GOP primary across the USA.

Exactly. There were other options on the table, all of whom would be an R voters preference over Biden. But no, we got this guy.

We got this guy because a huge majority of Republican voters in the primary chose Trump over the rest of the choices.

You and I both know the issue isnt the mechanics of voting. Its about whatever pathogen has infected the American political mind.

Is that what guys do in golf club locker rooms, look around at each others.... drivers... and compare sizes? Or was it just Trump doing this?
According to Maggie Haberman's 2022 book Confidence Man, Trump told a similar story in 2020 with himself as the observer.

In one of the most memorable, as he prepared for a trip to Latrobe, Pennsylvania, for a rally in late 2020, Trump recounted for Oval Office guests the time he had seen hometown golf legend Arnold Palmer disrobed at the Latrobe Country Club

We have many things to be praying about, don't we? ...
Agreed, sister in Christ. Pray for a peace in this world, a peace given to us by Jesus. So many End Times technologies and bickering in 2024, this is a sad time for the world. Also, pray for France, as that country is going through a religious falling out.

I would have preferred a different candidate. But I can't vote in primaries because I'm a registered independent.

But at least the Republicans got to choose their candidate through open and honest primary voting, unlike the Democrats who had their candidate chosen for them.

Sadly, I don't believe I'll be able to cast a vote for either candidate. I cannot put my support behind either candidate.

But the election literally is a “popularity contest”.
Not necessarily. I believe it is more accurate to call the POTUS election an electoral college contest.

I’m voting for a leader, not a homecoming king/queen.

What does it say about Kamala if Trump defeats her by closing with Arnald Palmer's stuff? I honestly think that things have gotten so bad since Biden took office that most people don't even care about these things anymore.

....allegedly (according to Trump), other unnamed golfer(s) told him this....it's really weird that Trump would remember that...much less using it in a campaign speech for POTUS...
At least it is progress - in that GOP leadership is now acknowledging anonymous sources are acceptable and not fake news?
Not that one would reasonably expect any sort of consistency in applying this view.

In Latrobe, PA, Trump really lowered his standards and became more vulgar than ever.
It doesn't matter. The "religious right' still approve or make excuses. Same with "enemy within" and military remarks.

Good Grief, remember 2016 and the Entertainment Tonight video where he bragged about kissing women and grabbing them in the privates?
He was vulgar then. He said bizarre things through and after his presidency. Don't blame Biden for Trump's vulgarity,
