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.

On the 3rd vote for House speaker

I'm watching the 3rd vote. The roll call is in the H's at the moment. 

One thing that is striking about what Scalise said when nominating McCarthy is that Republicans would pay great heed to the federal debt, the border with Mexico and some other unspecified Democratic horrors. Scalise laid out no specific policies that Republicans want. That is standard Republican Party propaganda. What the GOP wants is Christofascist tyranny and a shift of power and wealth from government and the people to the GOP and wealthy and/or powerful elites.

That is what the FGOP (fascist GOP) stands for but refuses to say in public.

Q: Is that analysis wrong?
