Yes. That’s my point.

No disagreement. I’d only add that one doesn’t need to understand Robert’s Rule or Sturgis to be polite and not interrupt.

I hope she never actually ends up in a courthouse with an actual judge and jury. The “Well, they mentioned my name so I have a right to interrupt!” argument might wind her up with contempt.

Jealous! We’re just a few miles away. We’d been in Hoyer’s district since we moved here (20!? years ago), until we recently got redrawn into the 4th.

Have you seen Ted Cruz’s “glowing” praise about his debating skills on his Wikipedia page? I think some editor is on the grift.

Those are shit-poor debate skills, then. Actual debaters know you need real evidence to get points and interrupting your opponent will deduct speaker points or even cause you to forfeit.
(Sorry, I just hate the comparison. None of what these shitweasels do would be advantageous in a debate competition, and most would be a negative.)

So it’s more of a high school debate cosplay than actual high school debate? Because the high school debaters I know would wipe the floor with these assholes in a scored debate. The debate judge in my family would kick them out on the third interruption.

Never antagonize the Gazpacho Police. Because revenge is a dish best served cold.

Sure. Like many other things they cosplay, that’s probably what they’re doing. They also like to pretend that they are the champions of “science” and “rationality” and “logic”…

Did Kellyanne Conway set precedent in both categories, or does anyone know of someone earlier than that – in both categories?
