  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    Oh, I wasn’t saying that there needed to be mines in 6 months (though my wording may have been misleading). I’m saying that Trump will have made little to no progress on even securing an agreement to set up mining operations there. He hasn’t even secured a deal to get land for military bases...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    Yeah… because I said that nowhere. Well, I think the western world wins if the EU is strengthened. But I tend to think there are other ways to go about reaching that goal. Ways that, you know, don’t squander our credibility and continue to fill the economy with uncertainty. The impact on...

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    Yeah, I agree. It sets a precedent. Let him win this time, and he'll continue to use these tactics again and again. I hope their strategy is to stall him and look for a different solution. It also raises questions about if there were actually serious discussions of a deal or not. I think...

    Trump caves

    Or... there's a "framework of a deal" until Trump loses his IEEPA tariff powers. Then they tell him to take a hike. That of course assumes that the Supreme Court takes those powers away, and our government actually still functions well enough to enforce the ruling.

    Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

    I think Trump wanted one last attention-grabbing moment before the Supreme Court takes his IEEPA tariff powers away. Not that he can't get attention by other means. But I'm sure he'll miss his beloved tariff-tantrums.

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgezx40r7d7o NBC news said the proposed deal would give the U.S. "pockets of land" on which to build bases. Isn't that what we had before? :scratch: Of course, the Trump argument is that in this hypothetical scenario, we would have ownership. Which is...

    How Trump Has Pocketed $1,408,500,000

    I wonder how much money he’s made off of insider trading / stock market manipulation. Liberation Day was a huge money making opportunity. And they basically flaunted it in front of everyone with their “great time to buy” posts on social media.

    Is America a police state (if you are not white)?

    And that makes sense as a counterpoint how, exactly? Either she was trying to run them over, or she wasn’t.

    how far is trump to go for greenland

    You really think that the rest of the NATO alliance would do nothing? Hmm. That’s quite the assumption. You’re also assuming that U.S. forces would faithfully go to war against our allies for Trump. Heck, a majority of Americans might welcome a foreign intervention at that point.

    If that were actually what happened.

    Grinning anti-ICE agitator arrested after allegedly punching Florida trooper as DeSantis warns: ‘This is not Minneapolis’

    How do any of those things cause ICE to break into the wrong house? A few days ago, they went into another family’s house without a warrant. Was that because of rioting in the streets as well? The “rioting” made them forget that the law requires them to have a warrant?

    Happy MLK Day 2026!

    There’s a good documentary on the CW right now: “I Am MLK Jr.” If people are still awake…

    Grinning anti-ICE agitator arrested after allegedly punching Florida trooper as DeSantis warns: ‘This is not Minneapolis’

    Right... everyone is extremely politically biased. Even the non-partisan civil service professionals who have spent years serving their communities. So let's cut them out and leave this to the very unbiased Trump FBI. That's how we get an unbiased investigation in these circumstances...

    Indeed. And the company I work for made this a paid holiday about 5 years ago. :oldthumbsup:
