    This.

    The jury determined that he forcibly penetrated her vagina with his fingers, against her will.

    (Later, appx 80 million people determined that he should be President of the United States.)

    New York has a very strict, one could say archaic, statutory definition of rape. Florida's sexual battery statute includes far more conduct that most people consider to be "rape" (Florida's statute doesn't use that term,) including what the jury found Trump to have committed. The judge ruled that while that conduct didn't violate New York's criminal law, it was conduct that people of common sense would consider to be rape.

    Back to the OP, some phrases we are likely to be hearing:

    New roof? We can schedule you in for two years from tomorrow.
    PUBLIX BOGO: Tomatoes: But one pound for $15, get the second pound for 50% off

    Deep state - people who spy illegally on campaigns and help push fake hoaxes - aka Russian hoax.
    Justice Department corruption - When you have the 3rd highest position "quit" to take a lesser role to help prosecute a political opponent. See Matthew Colangelo.
    DoD incompetence - So it's perfectly normal for the Pentagon to fail 7 audits in a row where billions cannot be accounted for each time? How about the Afghanistan pull-out disaster?
    Woke Generals - If the current generals were not so hell-bent on DEI, we likely avoid the crap just mentioned. Recruiting for all branches has been down since Biden took office. If our recruiting commercials were not full of DEI puke, more would sign up.

    It's funny how acceptable it now is for them to say things that aren't true. Because nobody wants to seem rude. So MAGA lies become part of the narrative; "Russia hoax." Dem election fraud.

    In a sense, we've failed them. They needed to have their lies refuted instantly, starting about 8.5 years ago.

    I would be shocked if anyone helped you with that given the arguments suffer from logical leaps, emotionally charged language, and a lack of nuanced analysis. That's all you, brother.

    Not everything, but there certainly are a lot of racists and misogynists in the population, many of whom will deny it vehemently.

    I see this on social media often. While the Gish Gallop is traditionally a live debate tactic, the premise is the same: overwhelming the readers with a firehose of shallow claims. This derailment technique is effective because the sheer volume makes it just too burdensome to address each point individually, creating the false impression of a well-supported argument. Once you see it for what it is, it is easier to laugh at.

    Well if you truly believe that, why not point out where I went wrong?
    There are facts to everything I posted.

    You are the type who attempts to indirectly insult someone yet won't argue the actual points. You want to look and sound smart but trust me when I say, you only look silly.

    Come to the discussion with some substance, would you?

    Because it foolish to engage in a gish gallop. It takes one more effort to respond than it does to throw out obviously lazy rhetoric.

    I tell you what... take each of your definitions and make them their own threads as assertions. For example, "I believe the exhaustive and complete definition of the 'deep state' is people accused of spying on campaigns. What do you think?" ROTFL
