The outrage over, say a President wearing a tan suit being false does not mean that the outrage over a President suggesting Americans should inject disinfectants into their lungs is also false, for one example.

I love seeing all of these paraphrases of what Trump has said. Because that's what you were doing, right?


- He insisted people should inject each other with Lysol
- He encouraged people to drink bleach
- He forced people to inject disinfectant while drinking aquarium cleaner
- And so on...

That used to be part of the standard courting routine around these parts (defined loosely as "the west"). It was sort of seen as the guy's responsibility to try and learn to read the room, determine if and when the time was right, and initiate something.



I'm in a LTR and no longer looking, but it's got to be tough being a younger guy these days.

Here's how to "read the room":

Ask a person before getting grabby.

Young guys have it tough?

Meanwhile a woman is expected to "read the room" correctly, lest she be raped and then told she should have been more cautious, aware, etc.

Well, we know that outrage is false because we know the president didn't actually suggest that.

She claims that she quit the job to move across country with her boyfriend, that she quit the job because she was unhappy with how the Washington elites treated Putin, and that she was fired.
She claims that she wore nothing under her skirt, and that he pushed aside her underwear.
She claims that Biden sneered that she meant nothing to him after the incident, and that Biden comforted her after the incident.
There is also a cloud of confusion over whether she filed a complaint with the Senate naming Biden or alleging sexual assault at the time, and even whether she named Biden in the police report she filed this month over the alleged 1993 incident.

Exactly. It's not details that are changing, which could easily happen because memories are fallible. It's the entire story that changes.

This sounds like another case of quoting the media summary of what he said rather than what he said. If he literally said the things that are attributed to him, I certainly would have a much harder time with him.

If he said that, there would have been less fake and more real outrage.

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/11/politics/immigrants-********-countries-trump/index.html

One of the sources briefed on the Thursday Oval Office meeting with lawmakers confirmed Trump asked, "Why do we want all these people from '******** countries' coming here?"

The meaning could not have been more clear. He judges people's worthiness to be admitted by the country they were born in rather than "the content of their character", to quote someone whose boots he is not fit to lick.

Well it certainly seems like it would lead to less unwanted touching.

It might involve the person asking feeling disappointed or rejected.

Apparently we guard against the feelings and the unwanted touching is just collateral damage...

ETA: it remains my suspicion that a lot of men want the ambiguity defense intact in case they need to use it some day. The ones who share stories about their own sexual assaults, minimize them as "stuff I did as a kid", and ponder why women are such opportunists with their claims are all but outing themselves.

You know what the word is that has been asterisked out. Or google it yourself and find a source you prefer.

Both what he said and what he meant were perfectly clear.

Norwegians were OK though, so Anders Brevik would presumably be welcome.

We all know. Trump takes no responsibility, and he was just being sarcastic.

That makes it A-OK!

Again? When did we cover this the first time? There is no "my color" and "other color" in this joke. It's purely a joke about all outrage on Twitter being fake, referencing the "no, but in yellow" meme:

Again because I had already said the same thing to another poster one paragraph up in the post you quoted. I didn't realize that saying again when repeating yourself was an advanced concept. I'll try to remember to really simplify things for you in the future.

Currently, all those claiming that outrage over Trump's actions isn't real do share a political outlook, which is usually represented by the color red. That's how I read your "joke" (sarcasm?), as I'm not a big Reddit/Twitter user.

What do you guys think the President said?

As a follow up, do you buy his day later claim of sarcasm?

No, that's not the case. I think a lot of the outrage isn't real, and at least in my voting record I'm nearly straight "blue". To be fair, I'm on the center side of blue, but it almost is never enough to make me actually vote for a Republican, at least for any national offices.

First, at least you admit some outrage is real. They don't. Second, fine, amend that to the vast majority rather than all.
