Top Judiciary Republican @RepDougCollins sends a letter to Nadler warning Dems ahead of next week's hearing not to violate the rules of the House to impugn other lawmakers (or the President). Letter is here (link: https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0275399506e2bdd8fe2012b77/files/06bc5c9c-c5c6-4ca8-b767-3b7bec29897e/06.07.19_DAC_Nadler.01.pdf?utm_source=Collins+Judiciary+Press+List&utm_campaign=261336858e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_06_07_03_35&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ff92df788e-261336858e-169041401) gallery.mailchimp.com/0275399506e2bd…

It basically says that anything short of calling Trump "Glorious Leader" is forbidden.

I wish Nadler would read that aloud. I also hope it gets some media attention.

This is fucking outrageous.

is that, by and large, the Repubs are much more likely to use that kind of language than Dems.

After all, Dems normally conform to norms and rules of polite behavior, unlike their "friends" across the aisle.

Except that it really isn't funny. It's more projection on their part, and the bullshit demand that others follow rules that they don't.

"Dear Jerry,

If you guys keep pointing out what an incompetent lying sleazeball Trump is, we are going to got our asses handed to us next year unless you initiate impeachment proceedings prematurely. So back off and cut us a little slack, will ya? We're desperate here!"
