• 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.

There, you've finally unearthed a valuable truffle. And it doesn't require any Costello.
I have served that truffle numerous times - perhaps you are just finally reading it.

The issue is - unlike congressional special committees - in court you have to show evidence.
``~~
Oral testimony *is* evidence. It does not magically override other evidence with its ~~special powers~~. It won't be the only evidence presented or the case will almost certainly fail. Let's just wait for trial before assuming the case is overwhelming or deficient.

It's pretty ambitious.
Are you calling me a pig?

Truffles are valuable....so a sort of rare, valuable, profit finding pig.

"Cohen was convicted of lying to Congress to help Trump" is old old news.
And now the convicted felon wants to do a 180 -

How does a court handle testimony from someone who is a demonstrated and convicted liar, now speaking out of the other side of his mouth. Add to that, his former legal counsel testifying he repeatedly said he had no information.

It's not "and now" with Cohen's turn around. His *conviction* itself was that turn around because he admitted to the court that he had previously lied on Trump's behalf when he plead guilty to those crimes.

Thank you for your opinion.

We disagree.

Wait? What are we "disagree"ing about here?

The sincerity of Cohen's change of heart and the related truthfulness of either set of statements?

-- or --

That he changed his public statements about Trump about 4 years ago?

He didn't call you a pig but you seem determined to find a insult. Dogs are often chosen above pigs for truffle hunting because pigs want to eat the truffles they root out while dogs rarely do.

Cohen had a sincere change of heart! I believe that as much as I believe Trump is humble.

It was a joke - a play on words - sarcasm -

yeesh! Some need to take a breath - step back and not things as serious.

But I give the three of you kudos for circling the wagons in the posters defense. You don't see that type or extent of loyalty too often.

Yeesh, yourself! I didn't think you should necessarily be offended; it's as much for you as for him. Plus I thought it was interesting that dogs rather than pigs are the preferred truffle hunters.
