Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass. Most people are good.

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.

The dictator's dream: Lock 'em up right now, damn it!

Politico reports that Trump instructed one of the leaders of his personal law force cadres, Attorney General Pam Bondi, to get on the stick and get people he hates prosecuted and behind bars. He commented that the lack of criminal charges against critics he really hates was “killing our reputation and credibility”. 

In a social media post he apparently reconsidered and deleted, he wrote this which, was addressed to “Pam”: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!” He specifically mentioned the unacceptable lack of criminal charges against Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. He really hates those three.

Reporting by other sources corroborates what Politico reports, e.g., NBC News. The Fox News headline was blunt: Trump hounds Bondi to prosecute adversaries in now-deleted social media post: 'They're all guilty as hell'. 

Trump's deleted post is archived at this link.

The deleted post that dictator Trump
didn't want us to see


Q1: Is there any rational reason or evidence left to not believe that Trump is a vicious, lying, corrupt, vindictive dictator who opposes democracy, the rule of law and civil liberties? 

Q2: Is there any solid reason left to take seriously the opinions of rank and file Trump supporters who still support him because they believe he is fighting for them, democracy, the rule of law and civil liberties against evil Democrats, socialist tyranny, liberal pedophiles, etc.?
