Over-elaborate ethical dilemmas
The Meta-Ethical Problem
There’s an out of control trolley speeding towards Immanuel Kant. You have the ability to pull a lever and change the trolley’s path so it hits Jeremy Bentham instead. Jeremy Bentham clutches the only existing copy of Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals. Kant holds the only existing copy of Bentham’s The Principles of Morals and Legislation. Both of them are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Eastern Ukrainians begin to perceive Putin’s manipulation
Two friends meet, both native Russian speakers – as is everyone in this region – but one speaks Russian, and the other insists on speaking Ukrainian.
“Why are you speaking Ukrainian?” asks one friend. “Are you afraid Ukrainian nationalists will come and kill you?”
“No,” comes the reply. “I’m afraid if Putin hears me speaking Russian, he will come to ‘protect’ my rights!”
Who is Vladimir Putin?

— Barack Milhous Obama (@PresPasserby) July 10, 2013

Michelle and I are appalled at the shocking bad taste and lack of propriety displayed by a rodeo clown.
— Barack Milhous Obama (@PresPasserby) August 12, 2013
That's right. I can totally ban clowns.
— Barack Milhous Obama (@PresPasserby) August 13, 2013
Why all the fuss about a rodeo clown? I got tired of saying "Squirrel!"

When I said you could keep the plan you have, I meant until the end of the year.
— Barack Milhous Obama (@PresPasserby) October 28, 2013
You must have misheard me. I said if I like the plan you have, you can keep it.
— Barack Milhous Obama (@PresPasserby) October 29, 2013
You fucked up. You trusted us.
— Barack Milhous Obama (@PresPasserby) November 4, 2013
When you think about it, lying about lying is really the truth.

I'm deeply sorry you believed that lie I repeated dozens of times.

My science and technology adviser, John P. Holdren, assures me the ACA’s only remaining problem is a technical issue called "math."

When I said I had al Qaeda on the run, I meant they'd be running parts of Iraq and Syria.
