That begs a whole bunch of questions, doesn't it?

That statement by Katelew is amusing on so many levels. Not the least of which, despite apparently not knowing what the phrase "begging the question" actually means, she manages to, well, beg the question.

"Begging the question" doesn't actually ask a question. It does involve using a premise to support itself. She throws up several premises and then uses them as proof of her statements...

Ergo "begging the question".

I was trying to be funny so of course what I said was absurd.

Or was it? This thread has made lots of comments about Trump enriching by his office. Apparently the possibility of this happening makes most of you angry, so I'm curious what you guys think would be fair.
Maybe someone could tell me?
