CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Interesting detail from some of the holdouts.
Several Freedom Caucus members who voted against the rule said they were angry about Republican leadership earlier in the month not holding to a commitment to bring up legislation to codify Trump’s border policies by around Independence Day. That deal was made as a way to get the members’ votes on a bill funding immigration enforcement and Border Patrol — but leaders did not have any border bill on the schedule for this week.
“You can’t just keep moving things along without dealing with those important issues, and that was what we were, you know, told several weeks ago, and it didn’t happen,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said.
“We need to be on offense, and we’re not,” Roy continued. “We ought to be codifying what the president’s doing.”
Stupid detail from one of the holdouts.
“I was gonna behave and be a good girl and vote for it, but it was going down anyway. May as well play,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) told Punchbowl News.
Johnson on Tuesday dismissed a question about whether he has lost control of the House GOP.
“We have full control of the conference,” Johnson said. “People get very emotional about things, and sometimes they make irrational decisions.”
That's why y'all skipped town.

Oh, he’s a piece of work.

If Harvard pushed him left, what was he like in high school?
REP. RANDY FINE: Well, I don’t know. I mean, look, my issue was if Elizabeth Warren thinks a bill is great, then it probably isn’t. And that’s sort of how I look at it. The enthusiasm with which Democrats had for this bill got me spooked. And I didn’t come to Washington to work with Democrats. I came to Washington to beat them.
Real mature, Mr. Fine.
.... How old are you, again?

Wasn't she the one who was being really obnoxious in the audience at a stage production of Beetlejuice or something a few years ago? Or do I have one badly-behaving politician confused with another? XD
