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.

Cause of Death…

 


I’m so glad that Nicolle Wallace posted this segment from her show (Deadline White House) yesterday, this short (2-ish minutes) video with Steve Schmidt.  No one can say it quite like Steve can.

View link here: Schmidt’s remarks begin at about the :50 mark.

From the linked video-

"COVID might be the medical cause of their deaths, but what they were killed by was:

-Misinformation

-Lies

-Malice and the immorality of political leaders who would risk their [constituents] lives in a big con for the purpose of appeasing a base, a ratings god in the form of Fox News, and the constellation of right-wing sites that would fuel all this insanity in the country.

-[It's] irresponsibility contrary to the public good for selfish [political] purposes."

I think Steve is spot on.  What about you?

Thanks for viewing, posting and recommending.
