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.

The ex-president's big grift rip off: It still rips people off today

The hearings this morning were interesting. But only interesting to open minds. 

Closed minds either didn't listen to it, or reject it as lies. Closed minds do not change. For the most part, evidence is irrelevant. Tribe and cult loyalty is everything, inconvenient facts and truth are lies.

The only point this post makes is that T**** used his position of public trust and power as a gigantic grift to cash in on at least $250 million. He was and still is interested in paying off his debts, not anything else.

The power and credibility of the American radical right Republican Party and its current leader T**** are built on demagoguery, lies, deceit, slanders, fraud, Christian fundamentalism, corrupt vicious capitalism and endless sleaze.




Most of the Republican Party and American conservatism is demagogic, neo-fascist, corrupt, mendacious and especially staunchly anti-inconvenient truth and anti-democratic. The Republican Party and American conservatism is the enemy of what is good, freedom-loving and honest.
 

Qs & commentary: Is that mostly false and therefore over the top? If so, my bad, but I don't think I am wrong, so, I'm not bad. Or, is that reasoning flawed? If so, exactly and precisely how is it flawed?
