A Civil Tongue Meets the Bully’s Pulpit 0

As Republicans and their dupes, symps, and fellow travelers clutch their pearls and fall upon their fainting couches, stunned that someone politely asked Sara Huckabee Sanders to dine elsewhere, Connie Schultz points out what the pearl-clutchers omit to say. A snippet:

Sarah Sanders is a bully. Any discussion about her that raises the issue of civility is nothing but an intellectual exercise by people who aren’t worried enough about the harm her boss, the bully in chief, is inflicting on this country. Trump attacked The Red Hen on Twitter, too. Of course he did.

Civility requires mutual respect. The Red Hen employees apparently understood this. If someone spends her days making clear her disregard for you and her willingness to harm you by parroting her boss’ bigotry, no one should expect you to act as if it doesn’t matter when she’s not talking into a microphone.

Officials at Boone County Sheriff’s Department said two people were squirrel hunting Sunday morning when they were separated. Officials said one person was shot by a third person also hunting in the area.

On a brighter side, the injury wasn’t serious, just stupid.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, it’s just possible you haven’t grasped the situation.
