The Donnerboy Rule reads:

I need two (2) independent sources** from any Trump sycophant for any 'proof' they offer before it is even considered, much less replied to.

**Any source that contains "Trump's FBI said...", or "The DOJ announced..." or "The White House proclaimed..." - or any iteration thereof - will immediately be considered not an independent source. - Try again.

Today, during a discussion on Trump, the Iraq don't-you-dare-call-it-a-war, war, and the deceitful way the Pentagon has been underreporting casualties, John Heilman invoked what he called The Haberman/Swan Rule**:

"..where they spoke about the challenges of uncovering the truth about a president for whom deceit is a default setting."

Which is exactly what The Donnerboy Rule demands:

Actual, truthful, and verifiable PROOF

** named for Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swann, authors of Regime Change.

Lying is the regime's default setting.

well, good for you.

Are you serious? You're going to ignore a post from someone who didn't use 2 independent sources?

Is anyone going to ignore it?

Hardly.....exactly zero of you will ignore such a thing. Exactly zero of you can execute such standards.

No....get real. You'll reply. None of you can help yourselves.

You enjoy the attack too much to simply ignore it.

I think it's fine to desire that standard......but let's get real.......it's a bridge too far for you.
