Hmmm.
Trump’s campaign has been selling Schiff T shirts since last spring. For real.
Trump’s presidential campaign has started selling $28 “Pencil-Neck Adam Schiff” T-shirts that feature a drawing of Rep. Adam Schiff with a pencil for a neck and a clown nose.
So adult, so what you want in a presiding officer.
Also…erm…
Yet oddly enough Adam Schiff doesn’t call him walrus neck or similar.

I like how Trump hired a merch person even dumber than him, apparently the only one in the world who doesn’t know the whole point of the “pencil neck” insult is how small the person’s neck is…not that it’s a normal-sized neck that happens to be shaped like a pencil.
Even Trump has this figured out. Even Trump.
He spent two years knowingly and unlawfully lying and leaking.
As opposed to Trump, who has spent three years knowingly and lawfully lying?
That’s a scrotum.
SCROTUM NECK!? Thanks Holms, that’s me laughing uncontrollably every time he’s mentioned anywhere.
Rewind… reverse that…
“I buy the biggest collars I can find, and they’re still tight!”
Seriously, he’s so fat his neck has a muffin top.
Ad hominems are all the fashion now. What do necks have to do with anything? Grow up people.

“Ad hominem” is fast becoming one of those phrases used as a trinket, a verbal gotcha, rather than a term that actually means something. Remember, in order to be a fallacious argument, a statement must first be an argument. Or to put it another way, all occurrences of the ad hominem argument involve an attack on the person, but not all attacks on the person are an argument, and therefore cannot be considered an ad hominem argument.
Shorter: sometimes an insult is just an insult.
Perhaps there should be a name for the fallacy of accusing someone of an ad hominem attack when the accused was merely insulting someone.
“He has a scrotum neck!” = insult.
“You have a scrotum neck, therefore everything you just said was false!” = ad hominem.
What about the statement “His neck looks like it has a nutsack on it, so he’s in no position to talk about other people’s necks.” What kind of statement is that?
That’s called a “glass houses” statement.
Ad Fenestram?
Would ad defenestram be a throwaway argument?
AoS, a throw-it-out-the-window argument.
