Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

We Have a New President: The Beast is Gone from the Executive Branch




It's gone, at least for now. Biden is president. The inept, mendacious, incompetent, deeply corrupt radical right GOP beast is out of the executive branch. It still poisons congress and the federal and state courts. And, it still controls anti-democratic radical right media like the Sinclair Broadcasting, Cumulus Media and Fox News leviathans. At least for now the White House is much more pro-democracy, pro-truth and pro-rule of law.

To say the least, Biden has his work cut out for him. The beast still poisons congress many state governments and significant swaths of society. But at least the forked tongued head of the snake is cut off.
