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.

Wait, what?? . . . . what, what what? . . . . who? . . . . . what what?

Everybody is reporting that DJT is now a convicted felon. 34 felonies. NPR reported that poll data released just before the jury tossed a turd in Trump's party punch bowl indicated that a conviction would hurt the lying, fornicating, deeply insulting, treasonous scumbag Trump only a little bit more than it would help him in battleground states. About 19% said it would hurt him and ~17% said it would help them vote for DJT.

That's how close we are to the brink of fascist Armageddon, or whatever horrors another Trump administration brings down on our democracy, civil liberties and rule of law.

The NPR commentator blowhards say that this verdict reinforces the strength of the rule of law in America. Maybe so. Maybe not. How appeals that DJT files turn out will shed some light. 

Trump's public comments so far are deeply insulting to the jury. He calls them biased and unfair. After those people spent that much time out of their private lives, Trump calls them partisan liars.

That is deeply, deeply insulting to me. What about you?

DJT is corrupt, immoral sub-human filth. If any people on planet Earth are agents of Satan, they include Trump along with mass murdering monsters like Putin and China's Xi.

Qs: Is Germaine over the top for calling DJT corrupt, immoral sub-human filth? And waddabout (1) his elite sub-human GOP defenders like the Christofascist thug House Speaker Mike Johnson, who also deeply insults the jury and our legal system, and (2) DJT's rank and file supporters? What about the rank and file? Are they blameless and innocent?

What about the rank and file?[1]

Footnote: 
1. Various sources report that DJT's website crashed because his loyal supporters were rushing to donate to him. The Hill reported:
Former President Trump’s fundraising page crashed shortly after he was convicted on 34 felony counts by a New York jury, an issue his campaign attributed to an influx of donations.

“The American people see through Crooked Joe Biden’s rigged show trial,” Trump’s campaign posted on the social platform X. “So many Americans were moved to donate to President Trump’s campaign that the WinRed pages went down. We are working on getting the website back online as quickly as possible.”
What about the rank and file? Innocents or complicits?
