Just another factoid, just another voice in the chorus of “he should’ve been behind bars long ago!”
But her emails! But her emails! But her emails!
Which part is a factoid?
That there was a Trump Foundation and that’s it’s another of his many enterprises that got into legal trouble, to put it mildly.
that got into legal trouble, to put it mildly.
Extremely mildly.
He fucked it up so badly that part of the fallout included him being legally barred from sitting on the board of any charity ever again.
So those things aren’t true then? (Just asking out of curiosity.)
Factoids are true things, just simplified down to the point they’re easily digestible without context
That’s one definition, but the most common one in my experience is this:
A factoid is a false statement presented as a fact.
You’re using the other meaning, and that’s fine. I was just verifying which one was being used.
Well, language is a living thing. In my experience, the meaning of that word has shifted over the past couple decades
Fact-oid means something like malformed fact, but we no longer use this suffix much because it’s offensive. So the suffix kinda lost it’s meaning in everyday language, which makes this kind of flip common… There’s a word for this kind of drift, but I don’t remember it
I have the opposite experience — I’ve never seen anyone use the “fact” version of factoid. Only the “untrue statement” version.
Oh well, as long as we understand each other.
What dipshit point is this supposed to be making anyway?
Get rid of all of your logic, grasp onto a few names, then yell into the void “GOTCHA”
That’s what this is.
…organization, he had an organization…
Nah he had a foundation too.
