This was from back in 2016, oddly enough…

Has anyone asked DT if he would accept the election if the Republicans cheated?

Oddly enough, Trump and Roger Stone registered the domain name “Stop the Steal” before the 2016 election, too. Havoc has always been the plan.

I mean, we can’t prove that Trump’s son-in-law sold intelligence that led to a Washington Post reporter being hacked to death, but I see why she’s intimidated.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client has NOT threatened to strangle more cocktail waitresses. Yes, he has previously strangled a cocktail waitress. Yes, when asked whether he would strangle another cocktail waitress, he refused to answer. But let’s be precise.”

What is most infuriating about that “fact check” is that the second sentence contains one of the two facts that, put together, support Biden’s statement.
- Trump says he won’t accept the election results if the Democrats cheat.
- Trump says that the only way he can lose is if the Democrats cheat
It doesn’t take a master logician to understand that this means that Trump losing = “Democrats cheating” (at least in his mind) = Trump not accepting the result. He doesn’t have to literally say “I won’t accept the election if I lose” to have clearly committed himself to that position.

It’s logic. Rewrite it in Verilog and see if the alternative meaning is optimized out by the synthesis tool.

“Sorry, Archbishop. Could you turn towards me a bit more when Reggie takes his turn to swing at you? The light’s not great in here and I’d really like to get your face in the picture. Thanks, Tommy - you don’t mind if I call you Tommy, do you? Lovely, thanks.”
ETA: Apparently, according to the most credible account, there were four knights and a “cleric” who came to do the killing. So presumably the cleric was making the image while the fourth knight was holding the easel steady, passing the pigments, etc.

Two different things going on here.
-
His track record and things he has said let us know we can absolutely believe the statement that he will not accept the result
-
What he has and has not actually been quoted as saying is a factual matter.
There is a difference between these two statements below - the first quoted from the blog post and the second the same with an additional - and critical - couple of words.
If the only way he loses is through cheating, and he won’t say he’ll accept the result, is it “not true” to say he’ll refuse the accept the result?
If the only way he loses is through cheating, and he won’t say he’ll accept the result, is it “not true” to say HE SAID he’ll refuse the accept the result?
Journalists, accuracy of written statements, and absolute truth vs. implied truth, aside, I sure hope Biden, Harris and many assorted federal and state officials are developing a plan of some sort - some measures to chop him off at the knees the moment he starts that shit when the votes are counted!

This is how things are done in action movies, as well.

Good piece by a linguist on a similar fact check.
Somewhere along the line – quite likely because it suits them – the corporate media forgot the distinction between nitpicking and “well, actually”-ing someone who’s trying in good faith to convey a truth and checking someone who’s actively (and regularly) lying and BSing everyone.
