No it does not. As per Google one of the applicable definitions of 'just':



If you're going to be a pedant you should at least be right about what you're being pedantic about.

Lol.
Right. Other meanings, like "that's just perfect," or something. Or, "just because you can find other meanings for the word doesn't mean that your definition is what was intended." It's clear what was intended. You're just wrong again. Standard exclusive or, expressed in the usual manner.

The hilarious part is that, even if they'd had the intelligence to delete that mention months ago, it'd still be used against them in court. Internet archiving is a beautiful thing.

Between that and Trump's on-camera pledge to the same effect, it won't be surprising if Trump has forever lost his attempt to ban Muslims. Any time his side tries to claim it wasn't intended as discrimination... critics just have to point to Trump's website and his fool mouth.

So in other words you have decided to take a definition of a word that you believe makes a sentence nonsensical instead of a definition of a word that makes the sentence perfectly fine based on nothing other than your tea leaf reading of the poster's intent. That's just stupid, meaning 'that is very stupid', not 'exclusively stupid' as it is many things other than stupid including childish and irrational.

Look, you tried to be a pedantic jackass and you fucked it up. Next time you want to be like that at least make sure you have your ducks in a row.

Interesting. I think what's stupid is you trying to use an obviously incorrect/inapplicable meaning just to try to make it work. Are you obtuse? or just trolling? A little bit of both? See? Doesn't work. Hope this is clear now.

That's because 'very trolling' is a nonsensical phrase, unlike 'very horribly incompetent', which is unwieldy but makes sense. The definition is obviously correct and applicable and the fact that you just incorrectly applied it here is pretty funny considering your repeated and pathetic attempts to be a grammar Nazi.

To put it back in the original sentence:
"are they stupid or VERY horribly incompetent? maybe a little from column a and a little from column b?"

See? Just fine.

Thanks for owning yourself a second time while trying to be pedantic, this is getting funnier and funnier. :)

Not to mention, even if we use his preferred definition it works anyway. Option A is stupid (only stupid is a reasonable inferrence). Option B is only horribly incompetent. Option C is a little stupid and a little incompetent.

I'm expecting the next explanation to include pictures, crayons and blocks to help him grasp the concept.

option C has to include the exclusivity, which it can't. "a little bit only stupid and a little bit only incompetent." "a little stupid and a little bit only incompetent" doesn't work either. This is just crazy talk. You guys probably should all just be committed.

meanwhile back on topic
So why did the beta, cuck of a prez remove this text? Is he really walking this back, or just a coward or a little from column a and a little from column b?

Please cite the law that says every word after the OR must be included in the proposed mix.

Just because you see something on family guy (or whatever that was) doesn't mean it's actually valid. That was just their point. It's funny, because he's insane. Only an insane person would think you could conjoin two exclusive members of a disjunction. Get real.

awww that's cute to pretend you don't know the Simpsons, yet you have an Archer avatar. So you're either a liar, or a moron, or maybe a little from column a and a little from column b.

It's too bad, too. If he could just grasp the concept he could choose one of three prizes:
Just a pile of cash
OR
Just a bunch of brand new computer components
OR
Half of each

Guys I'm a republican and Trump did something embarrassing and ridiculous again.

So, how come Obama killed all those kids and why did Hillary then detach her jaw and swallow them at the bowling green massacre and why isnt the media covering it? deep state?

Hm? can you answer that libruhls?

Verified true, saw on Alex Jones.
