Bigging the question 

In a press conference, when a reporter is called on to ask a question, and instead of asking one question, asks three to five more questions so quickly that the politician on camera can't stop her while remaining polite.

President: Ellen, your question?
Ellen: Yes, Mister President, what do you plan to do about North Korea and do you foresee good news on the economic forefront and what is the status in Afghanistan and are you really considering getting two more dogs and do you think the White Sox will win the pennant this year?
President (still smiling politely): Well, Ellen, I suppose that could be considered bigging the question.

When the evidence to support a person’s argument is the argument itself, just restated or said differently. Usually when the person making the claim can’t think of any reasons to support their own claim.

Person 1: Dogs are better than cats because they just are.
Person 2: What do you mean they “just are”? What is your proof?
Person 1: They’re just better ok, now will you shut up?
Person 2: Not until you stop begging the question!
Person 2 (in their mind): God this fucking guy…
