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.

They say history repeats itself…



The gang is getting back together.  No, not what’s left of the Beatles, but Trump and some of his old associates (Hope “former model/well connected rich girl/Trump Whisperer” Hicks; Sean “the biggest crowds in history” Spicer; and Reince “I am NOT drunk!” Priebus).

MSNBC legal analyst and former 30-year federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirschner, suspects that this upcoming reunion could have something to do with John Bolton’s still pending book, now being reviewed by the White House for containing possible “classified information.”

Kirschner tweets: “Why are Hope Hicks/Sean Spicer/Reince Priebus being pulled back in the White House by Trump? Maybe Bolton’s book proves those 3 could provide incriminating info against Trump, so Trump will try to stop them from testifying, claiming executive privilege/absolute immunity?”

At first, I just suspected the old “Hope Hicks was to Trump, as Monica Lewinsky was to Clinton” logic analogy.  Now I think Kirschner is probably right.  ‘Course, the former doesn’t preclude the latter, by any means. 😉

Why do you think these individuals are being called back for "service?" 

Thanks for recommending and commenting.
