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.

Spine donor needed...

Clerk House of Representative Roll Call

Last evening, I see that Rep. Liz Cheney voted along with all but one of her fellow Republicans (see link above) to NOT remove/strip Rep. Marjory Taylor Greene from her House committees (education and budget).

What are we to make of the fact that, while Cheney unapologetically voted to impeach Trump (and got a lot of GOP political flak for it), she did not seem to have a problem with keeping MTG on these important influential committees?  It should be noted that yesterday, Cheney herself, in a secret ballot, escaped removal from her prestigious "third in line" Republican Leadership role, by a vote of 145-she should stay, 61-she should be removed.

So, what happened to Liz’s "principles" spine?

-Was it a case of her being sympathetic to MTG plight, seeing’s how Cheney herself came close to being an outcast?  (I.e., didn’t want to play with fire and get burned again?)

-Did Cheney believe MTG’s mea culpa speech (for which half the GOP caucus gave it a standing ovation) and that had no apologies in it; only so-called explanations, regarding her “previous” beliefs in QAnon?

-Other?

Finally, do you predict MTG will revert back to her old ways, maybe in a sense of revenge, now that she has been outcast from committees?

Analyze the situation from your POV.

Thanks for commenting and recommending.
