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.

Yes, but he's really good at it.
So let him exalt in how successful he is at being unhappy.

It's not about posters here.

FYI- I attempt to verify anything anyone here claims as a fact.

I attempt to verify even what I claim as a fact before I claim it.

What I am referring to is this administration. YOUR government. My government.

Trumpy has lied over 30,000 times to Americans.

His hired minions lie.

His supporters lie.

A federal judge heavily criticized a Trump administration lawsuit against the IRS"which sought to establish a $1.8 billion government weaponization fund"labeling the litigation a "collusive, bad-faith attempt to manipulate the legal system".

Courts and grand juries have moved to block or withdraw dozens of Justice Department subpoenas targeting medical institutions over gender-affirming care, as well as demands for voter data, after judges deemed them unconstitutional or lacking credible justification.

I stand by my rule.

Nothing coming from ANYONE in this administration can be trusted unless verified by at least two reliable sources.

Now. Let's see how good your reading comprehension is today.

They only lie on days that end in Y.

They don't lie so that you believe them.

They lie so you don't believe ANYTHING and can be manipulated by your emotions.

This is hilarious as DonorBot accepts Anon sources as facts.

The lies are just flowing out of our resident Bot this morning.

OneNut clearly does not like being held accountable for his commie spyboy wannabe agitprop.

You bring the lies. I'll bring the facts.

You bring the Blitzen. I'll bring the Donner.
