The Republican’s Guide to Presidential Etiquette
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
JAN. 20, 2018

When the editorial board published the first edition of the Republican’s Guide to Presidential Etiquette last May, we hoped to provide a helpful reminder to those morally upright members of the G.O.P. who were once so concerned about upholding standards of presidential decorum. Remember the hand-wringing when Barack Obama wore a tan suit or tossed a football in the Oval Office?

Yet even as the current occupant of the White House continues to find new and shocking ways to defile his office, congressional Republicans have only lashed themselves more tightly to him. The examples come so fast that it’s easy to forget that the last one happened just four days ago, or just this morning.

As part of our continuing effort to resist the exhausting and numbing effects of living under a relentlessly abusive and degrading president, we present, for the third time in nine months, an updated guide to what Republicans now consider to be acceptable behavior from the commander in chief. As before, these examples, drawn from incidents or disclosures in the last three-plus months, do not concern policy decisions — only the president’s words and actions.

And no, we’re not even opening that Michael Wolff book.

1. This list is so appalling

One tends to forget the overwhelming the awfulness of Twitler. It seems everyday he seems to get more abhorrent

2. Maybe I missed it...

...as I read thru that exhaustive and exhausting list -

- Charging the Secret Service to stay at your own damn hotels in order to do their job of protecting your worthless ass.

(If I were in the Secret Sevice, I would have had to quit. No way I would risk a sprained ankle for Cadet Bonespurs, let alone my life.)

3. Remember when next time the democrats are in power (and we will be soon),

that these actions highlighted in the constantly updated 'Repub.'s guide to pres. etiquette' will come back to bite them (the repugs) many times over...
