"Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein," said the new statement issued to the New Yorker by his spokesperson, as if "non-consensual sex" could itself be anything but an equivocation—a verbal duck-and-weave misdirect to conceal an unspoken truth.

While much of what Facebook's policy staffers have inked here is an intentional nightcap made of misdirection and equivocation (with lashings of snoozy repetition), one nugget of new intel that jumps out is a long list of partners Facebook gave special data access to — via API agreements it calls "integration partnerships".

Beirich attributes the uptick in hate group activity to the rhetoric coming out of the Oval Office, pointing to President Donald Trump's equivocation between white supremacists and protesters in Charlottesville, the times he's shared alt-right memes on Twitter, and his characterizing of Haiti and African countries as "shithole" countries.

While abstract thought rooted in experience, study and understanding can provide a valuable perspective, Trump's abstraction lacks all of these characteristics, and yet he operates in a world of equivocation in an attempt to subvert a complete lack of policy understanding, and an unconscionable lack of respect for different races, religions and women.

After some equivocation from the president's spokesmen, on March 15th the White House issued a firm statement denouncing Russia for its actions in Britain, citing the British government's finding that there is no plausible alternative explanation to the charge that Russia was behind the attacks and calling it a "clear violation" of international law.

In recent months, tech luminaries have repeatedly clashed with the president, criticizing his executive order on Muslim immigration, his ban on transgender troops, his "many sides" equivocation on white supremacists and his Tuesday announcement that he was ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which lets young undocumented immigrants remain in the country.

"I believe these women without any equivocation and I apologize personally that they had a bad experience on the campaign I really work hard to try to build a campaign and a work environment where it's ... open and everyone is welcomed and celebrated and gets to bring their whole self to work every day," she said.

Those words could just as easily apply to Fred's son Donald, as The New York Times details, about his birtherism, his view that dark-skinned immigrants come from "shithole countries," his frequent classification of black people as uppity and ungrateful, his denigration of Native Americans, his incorporation of white nationalist thought into his administration, his equivocation over neo-Nazis.

If Trump's equivocation of violence in Charlottesville—the fiery defense of people marching in and alongside hate groups that support "ethnic cleansing" in America—fails to impress upon companies like Dell that it is now time to resist, it will be hard to imagine what terrible thing the president would have to do or say to ever get that message across.

Republicans worry that their candidates could pay in the 2018 midterms for the continued controversy over President Trump's remarks on the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va. Trump's equivocation on how much blame should be put on white supremacist groups for the violence sets up a challenge that's difficult for Republican candidates to avoid — and one that Democrats are eager to bring up.

Conversely, when the second waver might claim that some advance for women in the halls of power—say, the first nomination by a major party of a female candidate for president—is a practical gain for all women, a younger feminist might say that ideally such a candidate would also have economic and social policies that would advance the cause of all women, without equivocation.

The latter, like the new film, was a richly researched exercise in tension, gathering to a head in the hours of darkness, and it was fortified, rather than hindered, by its equivocation in regard to torture; as you followed Navy seal s in their task—the elimination of Osama bin Laden—you felt a squirm of disquiet about the tactics that had led to this exhilarating quest.

In the immediate term, as foreign diplomats sift through Pompeo's pronouncements reflecting hostility to the Iran nuclear deal, some equivocation about Russia's interference in the US presidential election and a gimlet-eyed view of the North Korean threat, they say they aren't sure, at this point, who they should be reaching out to or speaking with, even as a series of important meetings loom.

The other conservative talking points have come from the small discrepancies Mitchell was able to find in Blasey Ford's testimony: her confusion over who paid for her polygraph test, her equivocation about how many people were at the party, her confusion about whether The Washington Post had reviewed notes from her therapist, and most of all, her fear of flying to Washington for this testimony when she has been able to fly before.

The crazy cascade of events continued with his firing of FBI Director James Comey, the arrival of special counsel Robert Mueller, the mushrooming probe of the Trump campaign's possible role in Russia election meddling, Trump's claim he saw MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski bleeding from cosmetic surgery, the botched repeal of Obamacare, his equivocation over neo-Nazi marchers, West Wing chaos ... and that time the President looked directly into the sun during the eclipse.

He is a touchingly perfect representative—far more than the prickly Voltaire—of a certain French intellectual kind not entirely vanished: ambitious, ironic, obsessed with sex to a hair-raising degree (he wrote a whole novella devoted to the secret testimony of women's genitalia), while gentle and loving in his many and varied amorous connections; possessed of a taste for sonorous moralizing abstraction on the page and an easy temporizing feel for worldly realism in life; and ferociously aggressive in literary assault while insanely thin-skinned in reaction, littering long stretches of skillful social equivocation with short bursts of astonishing courage.

Since then we've had Trump's talk of "some form of punishment" for women having an abortion; and "grab 'em by the pussy" as his approach to women; and African nations as "shithole countries"; and his moral equivocation over the Charlottesville neo-Nazis who were not so bad really; and his Administration's sadistic treatment of immigrant children; and the European Union as "foe"; and thousands of false or misleading statements since taking office; and now the disgusting spectacle of the American president kowtowing in Helsinki to Vladimir Putin, whose denial of Russian interference in the 2016 election he credits over the findings of United States intelligence agencies!
