I don't think I've seen this Seinfeld episode

Can I ask what you're referring to? Is this a George Constanza bit or Kramer maybe?

Sometimes they find they are missing 20.. no, 22! votes to become Speaker. If just a half dozen of those Nays would summon the ovaries to vote left, Hakeem Jeffries could take it....

If they weren't disloyal, they wouldn't be very good traitors.

Good point, good point. Everybody should excel at their path

[–] DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Nothing much, really. Usually, those who have been accused of being traitors have in fact been loyal ... just to something that was not in favour at the time.

OK how did you even figure out what he was even asking? And exactly what does your answer really mean in context of what he was asking?

[–] DivergentHarmonics@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I didn't. My answer is as much guessing as the other funny ones. It's just the lamest one as in: if no other information is given then the question must be about the (true) semantic relation of the words themselves ... which there isn't because the accusation of treason is arbitrary. 😅
