• 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.

Trump's Easter message.

Ooo, like this?
Yes, for the forth time.

Apparently seeing that ad is supposed to make me soil my pants or something. But so far I just see an ad for medallions.

Here, I'll try again:
Nope.

Maybe this time.
Nope.

Maybe this time
Still nope.

I guess that the President can’t help but hawk merch, while he’s also serving our fair land.

Is it really so hard to follow the conversation? I realize that sometimes I’m not as clear as I think I am, but I didn’t think that was the case here. Let’s try this again;

MAGA charged that Joe Biden was corrupt because he and Hunter were leveraging Joe’s position to get deals and enrich themselves. In reality, Hunter may have used his name to get deals, but there was never any evidence that Joe was a part of it or got anything from it.

Trump comes along and starts personally selling merch for events that he’s using his official position to stage. That’s in addition to all of the licensing deals into which his family is entering in countries that are vying for various diplomatic deals. He’s very openly doing all of the stuff that he and his acolytes accused the Bidens of doing and none of them even notice the contradiction, much less care about it.

It being about whataboutism and double standards is obvious. But it falls flat. Because Trump has been hawking things for decades. Trump is also the name of a multi-billion dollar business. There's nothing remotely new about this. It's just the latest out of umpteen ventures.

Also why would anyone expect Party A to measure Party A by the same standard it measures Party B? How often has that ever happened in politics?

What about when primary candidate A goes on about how incompetent and corrupt candidate B is. But after candidate B wins the primary, candidate A gives their full endorsement and support to candidate B.

Because all I see there is an advertisement for merchandise.
Donald Trump's business interests are profiting off the hosting being done by president Trump the elected official and current White House inhabitant. That second job is to be in service to We The People, not himself.
