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.

He fell in the butter…

My Dutch husband tells me that’s a saying in Holland:


meaning, someone is just that lucky. Everything tends to go his way.


I can’t help but think of Trump in exactly that way.  Off the top of my head, take a look at what’s happened of late:


  • $454 million bond case has been temporarily reduced on appeal to $175 million
  • Supreme Court gives immunity to former presidents for “official acts”
  • Biden “loses it” at a highly publicized debate, coming across as a doddering old man on the verge of senility, putting the Dem Party in crisis mode
  • Guilty verdict in Trump’s Hush Money trial gets delayed punishment (so-called in September, but don’t hold your breath)
  • Trump survives an assassination attempt by one-inch
  • Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Trump Classified Documents case
  • Republicans get first crack at showcasing their convention, with cheering and adoring crowds
  • Flip-flopper J.D. "Trump is America's Hitler" Vance gets the VP nod


What am I forgetting?


Yes, the butter is coming fast and furious these days, for one Mr. Trump.


Question: Have you ever seen a luckier sob than DJT?  Or is he deserving of his butter-coating? What is it about Trump that people find attractive?  Explain it to me like I’m a 5-year-old.  Because I(really)DGI.
