Yes, heaven forfend we call a duck a duck. It sure walks like one and quacks like one. Screw Rep. Collins (R-CSA) and his ilk. It’s one thing to demand civility and decency; it’s another to earn it.

Who in hell thought it necessary to exclude blatant racial slurs from 'parliamentary language"?

If he came out and said, “all them drunken Micks and greedy Jews ought to be kicked out”, would that be objectionable?

For Crissakes.

oh and look who’s back. yawn. Don’t feed the asshole!

They’ve enjoyed watching us ever since Trump won his primary. You have to wonder how much help he had doing that.

According to the House rules in Jefferson’s Manual, “References to racial or other discrimination on the part of the President are not in order.”

I agree.

Pelosi was holding the President accountable for HIS references!

For F—K’s sake!!!

Pelosi just called the tweets and comments racist.

Would this fly with Collins and the rest of the 'keepers of decorum"?

“Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, is a fucking racist.”

Haven’t a clue. Its been weeks since it made its debut and I still haven’t figured out what usefulness it offers. All I know is that if you invoke its name, Discobot, it rears its ugly head and asks if you need help.
