I think Ms. OC's use of "semantically correct" here is semantically correct. The problem is with the actual thought she is expressing, that getting the facts right doesn't matter much and being on side of some subjectively decided "good" is what counts.
Which somehow makes the OP's complaint about the form she used - and not the content - doubly ironic.
And you're right, it's a silly complaint of her to make.
I'm loving how the Trumpees are all shook up over the new crop of Democrats coming into office, most of them very young and a lot of them women. We never mention them, but the Right can't stop obsessing over them and trying to find every little flaw they can dig up.
It is so nice to see some younger blood coming into politics, I am so tired of seeing only old, white faces (that never smile) any time they are on TV. Trump has to be going bonkers !!
Except this dolt has the intellect of a 15-year old. She'll do you no good. Wake up.

Now this may be true - but an AP 15 year old is WAY above the comparison.....
My 9 year old has a much better vocab than the Orange One and expresses ideas in a clearer fashion. She lies less and actually has manners.
Things can only be seen in perspective. SpaceX is not going to hire any of our pols for an engineering position.
That fact that certain people wouldn't point this out - is fantastic. How many thread did Trumpies here start noticing "Donald Trump—who boasted over the weekend that his success in life was a result of “being, like, really smart”—communicates at the lowest grade level of the last 15 presidents, according to a new analysis of the speech patterns of presidents going back to Herbert Hoover."???
Hoover, BTW, was the Republican largely responsible for the Great Depression...so there is that. But he had some similarities:
"Hoover championed a “lily-white southern strategy” helped by bipartisan widespread anti-Catholicism against Democrat Al Smith."
I know what semantics are; wall; fence; barrier, etc., but I never heard the term "semantically correct" used by Sandy Occasional Cortex. Thanks for the replies.

Do you have a particular fascination with one out of many 100's of Congress Critters? One who happens to be a young woman?
Are you as critical of the other 300+?? Or is there some kind of a fixation here?

Are these proper semantics:
“As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them—they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over,” he added. “As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall"
You know, that does sound CRAZY...so the POTUS may just be semantically correct....except the SUBJECT (drugs falling on your head) is not semantically correct....it's he that seems crazy. So I guess he is not semantically correct after all.
