You make an interesting point, re: drawing political conclusions and arguments from this story Warren DeMontague Mar 2017 #115

He was a registered sex offender and would-be rapist. We don't Tanuki Mar 2017 #7

Being a sex offender, I'm guessing this guy isn't big on voting whathehell Mar 2017 #8

I hope this is an example of a dangling modifier. spooky3 Mar 2017 #26

How do we know that Trump's admonition didn't rekindle an impulse the "gentleman" tried to bury? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #14

How do we know that it DID. pablo_marmol Mar 2017 #18

You seem very invested in defending this "gentleman" at the expense of disrespecting me. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #21

I think drawing a connection between this specific crime and Trump is a bit silly, frankly Warren DeMontague Mar 2017 #107

Thank you. cwydro Mar 2017 #109

Actually, the op only called him a deplorable. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2017 #110

There are a lot of crimes where I think that connection is easily drawn. Absolutely. Warren DeMontague Mar 2017 #111

Correct. What's the point of making absurd assertions........ pablo_marmol Mar 2017 #120

Thank you. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #134

W/regard to dying on rhetorical hills: pablo_marmol Mar 2017 #122

Maybe because he's been doing this continually for almost 20 years? Warren DeMontague Mar 2017 #101

He was dry for almost two years, bruh. Are you sure this didn't set him off: DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #104

No, except he's homeless, so he probably doesn't watch a lot of CNN. Warren DeMontague Mar 2017 #106

He's clearly "deplorable" in the dictionary sense, however the phrasing of the OP does make it sound Warren DeMontague Mar 2017 #20

My reaction, as well. The use of "Deplorable" as a noun, rather than an adjective, Ms. Toad Mar 2017 #31

Yup. Despite the number of people who are pointing this out....... pablo_marmol Mar 2017 #89

If the jogger shot the rapist, would she be a deplorable too? HoneyBadger Mar 2017 #34

If someone tried to rape you and you shot him would you be a deplorable too? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #35

What is the current definition HoneyBadger Mar 2017 #37

Only if they are used illegally. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #41

Guns are only deplorable if used illegally? HoneyBadger Mar 2017 #42

Are you suggesting guns are inherently deplorable? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2017 #43

Having guns for personal self defense is considered racist HoneyBadger Mar 2017 #48
