Link to tweet

On June 10 the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the Mueller report. Ahead of that, GOP Rep. Doug Collins has sent a letter to Jerry Nadler citing the “manual of decorum” with a list of words he wants Nadler to ban members from using about Trump during the hearing

And it is not even a Freudian slip....

1. "Asscarrot" is apparently okay, if used respectfully.

On the other hand, if all Collins' words are banned, what'll they have to talk about?

[lastlib]

16. What about "ferret-headed fuck-nugget"? It's not on the list....

[amywalk]

23. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[lastlib]

31. Welcome to DU!

[malaise]

2. Someone should tell Collins that

elections have consequences. These are sickos

[empedocles]

3. Will they also attempt to ban, as has happened in federal agencies, such words and phrases as:

- climate change
- evolution
- adverse environmental impacts
- ad infinitum . . .

4. Is this Collins' proposed articles of impeachment?

Can't believe he beat Ted Lieu to the draw. Maybe he stole it off Ted's desk......

5. Decorum went out the window when they refer to us as the "Democrat" party.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. +1

[avebury]

6. Democrats could have a lot of fun

with that. Think bringing out your inner Brit and trolling Collins.

[PA Democrat]

7. Talk about ignoring the elephant in the room!

Would calling Trump 'dear leader" be acceptable to Collins?

[Scarsdale]

8. So, he wants the committee

to act like the gop and Faux? Avoid the TRUTH at all cost? The (R)'s have really scraped the very bottom of the barrel with the orange mistake. The
(D);S should send the list back, and say "YOU were not given a list like this about President Obama. Not even when the insults flew thick and often. Why do you want us to LIE about this person you and Russia placed into office?"

9. there would be nothing left to say. n,t

10. 1984

[Achilleaze]

11. Just call him a "republican"

At this point in the GOP degeneracy, that includes all the forbidden descriptors.

[onetexan]

15. K&R - you're exactly right, the summation of all of those descriptors is now synonymous with GOP

in other words, anything malificent is GOP. It is no longer the party of Lincoln, but now the party of Idiocy and fascism.

[Maeve]

12. Oh, good--"nasty" isn't on the list!

Neither is "Putin-licker"....

[genxlib]

13. Sounds like a challenge to me

Word bingo? Drinking game? How many of these phrases can you use in a single sentence?

Surely there is a game in here somewhere

Great resource, thanks for posting!

[blueinredohio]

18. Yet Trump uses these words or phrases almost everyday on Twitter.

I hope dems use every word in one way or another and maybe Trump will finally lose it for good.

[padah513]

19. Any reason why he wrote crook twice?

[Ilsa]

21. Collins must be particularly aggrieved about those trump activities. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Spying? Why'd he throw that in? That's a repuke word nt

[sandensea]

22. Crook is listed twice

Appropriately enough.

[Kid Berwyn]

24. Easy to use all the words in one sentence about the Bankrupt Unstable Moron.

Odd no one calls Trump the opposite of any of those words, either.

Brave
Mature
Accountable
Etfuckingcetera...

True, Doug Collins.

[kentuck]

25. How about "honest", "Christian", "decent", "patriotic"?

Would they like those words better?

I say use the words that match.

[Gothmog]

26. Colin's and Gym Jordan are idiots

[dalton99a]

27. Tell him to sit down and shut the fuck up.

[Achilleaze]

28. What about "wanker"? The repubes are OK with wanker & a-hole?

OK, republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief Dirty Donny is a Wanker A-hole*

* these comments officially approved by the republican decorum police

[TruckFump]

29. Collins is an idiot and it goes without saying

that some Ds (interpret to "most&quot on the committee will strive to use those words in some creative ways. What's ironic, at least to, me is that the Ds can draw them off side by using these words and making the Repukes use their time to try and erase what had been said instead of making a point.

Collins, apparently you have no clue, you fuckhead Trump asskisser.

[Brainfodder]

32. I give odds that some members will cram as many expressions .....

Collins having thoughtfully provided this list, I'll bet some Democrats will make an effort to use as many of the listed terms as possible in their comments.

There are 22 expressions (crook appears twice!) so I would expect a lengthy paragraph is necessary to convey all these terms.
