Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Presidential Hypocrisy

This 1½ minute video explains the President's self-professed attitude in the 2016 election about a US President leaving the White House or playing golf while in office. His argument was that there's just too much work to do to leave the White House for golf or other play time. https://youtu.be/f0NZt_-eB9o This summarizes the situation to date. So far, the President's daytime visits to golf clubs since the inauguration have cost taxpayers about $106 million, with evidence of him playing golf on at least 92 visits.





 Does this make Trump a liar, a hypocrite, both, neither and/or something else, e.g., insulting of people's intelligence or a tax dollar spendthrift?
