Bwahahaha Zylon pre-described by Merriam Webster (Beg (Begging) the Question: What Does it Mean? | Merriam-Webster)

There’s a segment of the population that would be enormously relieved if phrases like a question that begs an answer replaced the usual begs the question uses. These are people who think using beg the question to mean “to cause someone to ask a specified question as a reaction or response” is completely and thoroughly wrong. There are probably more of these people than you think, and they are judging the rest of us.

What if I beg to differ?

2701

You don’t need to beg, people are allowed to differ freely here.

2702

It’s the 21st century. This could be a great source of revenue, even if you only charge 1 or 2 dollars per incident of differing.

2703

Perhaps we can put it on the blockchain somehow.

2704

BegCoin. To the moon!

2705

The origin of “begging the question” is from Aristotle’s description of circular reasoning.

And yes, my 9th grade English teacher and I are judging you.

But if he sacrifices his career, we lose a Dem seat in the Senate, and that ain’t coming back in today’s WV. Right? Or am I not considering something in the Big Picture?

I worry that Manchin isn’t just holding out for pork, but actually believes his own “bipartisan” bullshit.

2709

Some people seem to think so.

2710

Bipartisanship, schmipartisanship.

There is literally NO WAY McConnell is going to let 10 of his people give Biden ANY kind of win if he can help it. Never going to happen. Not on Voting Rights Act restoration, not on infrastructure, not on jack. fucking. squat.

Manchin and Sinema need to have their arms twisted till they’re not in their sockets to make a filibuster exception on the Voting Rights restoration law. They need to get over themselves right now.

2712

Can Sinema also be bought with delicious pork products? If not it won’t make a difference.

2714

I agree, although it’s possible that some members of the GOP may revolt against leadership, because the leadership is kind of fucking everything up.

2715

Sweet summer child. You go, you.

2716

She’s vegan. We’re fucked.

2717

Get me the number of Arizona’s best Indian restaurant, stat!

2718

Yeah, the republican rank and file right now (singing it to DJT):
