I noticed you changed his quote to make it sound plausible. But that's not what he said. But, nice try. That you had to alter the quote to make it correct is the same as agreeing with us. If he had said something different than he did, no one is denying that it might have been correct. You clearly agree that what he actually said, the only thing anyone else has discussed was wrong, so we are of accord.
I quoted EXACTLY what you posted.
No, you didn't. I posted WOMEN, you posted WOMAN.

"So interesting to see "Progressive" Democrat Congresswoman, who originally came from countries whose governments are complete and total catastrophe,..."
So, in this statement, he is 10000000000% correct.That American is the worst? The America he runs?
Omar is NOT from America
He said it about many people, not just one. That ONE is from Somalia can't fix the statement. Hence why I said the way that you changed the quote would have made it plausible. But as you changed it, changing what you knew what wrong, is what I meant... it's the same as announcing that you agreed. That what he actually said was wrong.
Is or is not Omar a ""Progressive" Democrat Congresswoman, ?"

You changed the plural to singular.

Is she women? No. She is just one person.

It wasn't intentional? It was the exact word that had to be changed to take it from 100% incorrect to "plausible" while still unacceptable.

Absolutely not. I don't do that.

I think your subconscious is messing with you. If you are focused on a single person, and not a broad sweep like he said, to try to make it plausible, then you are likely thinking singular in your head. You are focused on Omar because she did come from another country. But that's not who he attacked (or not only who he attacked.) And for the attack to be correct, has to be correct (that's how correct works.) "Close enough" doesn't apply.
So while it was wrong, you can see that likely your brain is thinking about how it applies to one person out of the group.

Sorry for assuming you had, it was so "exactly what was needed" I just assumed you were pointing out that it applied to one in the group.

My brain is fine and I totally get what you are saying. You have your context and I have mine.
We both think each other is "nutty" (in a good way as neither of us mean no harm) and that is fine.IMHO, those four are one in the same and I still believe the statement is correct. Yes, One person can be used as a basis for the group. Happens all the time in business, politics and world society.

But it would be wrong in any other context, too. Just because it is used often never makes it right.
Imagine walking into a room of four people and telling them that they all got a 10% raise. Then later explaining you only meant one of them, not all four that you were speaking to.

I haven't seen anything on the conclusion. Holy crap, that has to be scary even for only about 10 feet drop. That water was moving FAST.

Even ten feet will drown you, for sure.

Absolutely. That is one of the main reasons I have never been rafting. Weird that I don't mind jumping out of a perfectly good airplane though. LOL

Even a 1 foot waterfall can easily drowned you if you choose the way the currents your spin and pull you down.
I can state this from personal experience in my teens. We were on the spring river in northern Arkansas and waiting for the group to catch up at a short 1 foot waterfall playing around and the current pulled me under.
