Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass. Most people are good.

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.

A MAGA politician has a mini-epiphany - "wow"

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) said Monday she now understands “what the big deal is” after reviewing unredacted files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue,” Lummis said in an interview with journalist Pablo ManrĂ­quez. “I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But 9-year-old victims … wow.”

“I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But 9-year-old victims … wow. Well, initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t know what the big deal is.’ But now I see what the big deal is, and it was worth investigating,” she added. “And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong. So that’s really my only reaction.”
Her initial reaction was ‘I don’t care’. Her only reactions are “wow” and that people in congress wanting to investigate weren’t wrong. Wonderful. That's blistering, over the horizon insight and analysis. /s 

This is a candid glimpse into the mind of the standard-issue congressional MAGA Republican. Lummis represents classic MAGA incompetence coupled plus classic callousness, apathy, stupidity, and Dog only knows what other moral horrors lurk in her black MAGA character.


Q: Is it over the top or simply wrong to harshly criticize Lummis and all other congressional MAGA Republicans like this? If there are exceptions, who are they?
