Why would you emphasize the "acquainted or familiar with" phrase and seemingly ignore the first definition in what I see as a rather lame attempt to defend a serial liar?

Since you obviously didn't read the linked article, here are a few of the women and a brief description of when they met Trump



I didn't provide some of the names as their stories are not as well confirmed as the ones I have listed.

It all depends on what the definition of "know" is. Why does that sound so familiar?

Yes, but it isn't defamation if He said it. Depending on who you listen to.

Franken was innocent in the eyes of the law and just about everyone said so. OOOPS. Your deflection with whataboutism fell flat.

So do you think he's innocent?

Now, I think he's guilty and did the right thing resigning. But then, my perception is not based on which party he belongs to.

WTF? You're doing mental gymnastics. He was innocent just like Moore. Party politics has nothing to do with it, if anything you're being hyper-partisan.

And he claimed that he could whip Rex Tillerson in an IQ competition.
Fascinating claims from a moron with the intellect and emotional maturity of a 9 year old.

If he had denied it, would you believe him? Or is that privilege reserved for Republicans?

Actually, it is a civil right established by our legal principles that everyone deserves regardless of race, religion, etc., etc., etc., including political affiliation.

However, in the case of Mr. Frankin, wasn't there actual evidence in the form of photographs?

On the other hand, that was a different era and many people of both sexes played "grab-ass" from time to time with no automatic offense given or taken.

So I might also cut him some slack anyway. :shrug:
 
Sarah Sanders goes after the press. Only it sure sounds like she's talking about her boss. :lamo

"There's a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people. Something that happens regularly. You can't say -- I'm not done. You can't say that it's an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you know to be false or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered any credibility and that has been continually denied by a number of people including people with direct knowledge of an incident.

Wow. Too funny.

Sarah Sanders just made a hugely offensive allegation against the media - CNNPolitics

Hmmm....

Let's see that quote:



First, note that and/or before "have never met."

That means some he has never met, while other's may have met him but he neither knows about them nor recalls the circumstances of their encounter(s).

Next, for the definition of "Know" used in this context:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/know

Now I have met a lot of people in my lifetime. Thousands in fact.

There will be a few hundred that I will have had some moderate contact with, where they might even recall me while I don't recall them.

But the vast majority were so transient that I can honestly say while I may have encountered them I may not recognize them or if so, truthfully say I actually know them.

I am fairly certain that a wealthy top percenter of our society Trump has met hundreds of women in the course of his lifetime...the vast majority of whom have little or no impact on his memory.

Thus it might very well be fair of him to say...in all honesty, that he does not know someone despite having met them at one time or another.

Things are not as clear cut as some might think, just saying. :coffeepap:

Don't use definition of words that takes away from the meme.

Wow.

top prize for pretzel logic.


But man is that desperate....parsing the meaning of the word "met" is right up there with Clinton's what "it" is....

Yes, things are not as clear as Trump would want us to believe.

So let's recap:

Trump says he has never met any of them. Trump is most famous for lying and has a history of pathology in that regard, STILL insisting his was the largest inauguration in history.

Two, 17 of these women have had certifiable contact with the owner of the miss ***** grabbing contest...as you say "Hmmm....

Let's see..." whom should we believe?

Sorry, but Trump lies to much to believe anything he says.

Defense attorney's must defend the indefensible. Such is not so required of DP posters, yet they continue to do so.

Sorry, but the has an overwhelming number of accusations. Even if some of them prove to be band-waggoned, there is still enough smoke for California wildfire. The accusations are completely consistent with his own admissions. His grossly insensitive tweet to Kristen Gillibrand this morning is more damning evidence that the man is a misogynistic sleaze. Trump makes Roy Moore look like a boy scout.

The man is unworthy of the words you have written on his account, and will most certainly do things in the near term to prove you wrong. You had to buy into his assertions on this even to make this post....a man that lies about 70% of the time.

Defend someone that deserves a defense. Trump can hire lawyers who are compelled to defend the indefensible.

He could be. If they don't finish the investigation, we'll never know.

That's really ridiculous proof of having 'met'. How many celebs have people coming up "Can we get a picture?" Seriously will have to do better than that to get any conviction.

So you're asking someone who believes deeply in the constitution and the law, including 'innocent until proven guilty' to just throw his belief away, just because someone says so?

Then you are saying that the defense for slander and libel is the First Amendment?

If so, why have libel laws?

Of course one can sue someone who maliciously besmirched your reputation and in my view, these women have a case.
