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.

Book Discussion: American Oligarchs



The C-Span 2 program, After Words broadcast a discussion with author Andrea Bernstein on how the Kushners and Trumps got to where they are today. The discussion is about her 2020 book, American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps and the Marriage of Money and Power. The story is a tale of lies, corruption, deceit and stunning political and law enforcement failures. The sheer degree and blatancy of political and law enforcement corruption is hard to internalize.

This program is 1 hour long and is at this link.
