It is a term that specifically refers to someone who crossed a River, specifically the Rio Grand, to enter our country illegally. As opposed to the ‘visa overstayers’. Is it a pejorative term? Sure. I use pejorative terms when discussing criminals. As I must remind you, many illegal immigrants have been my patients. I treated them all with dignity. Same as I’d treat a visiting pharmacist from Massachusetts. And now, I’m calling you stupid, because you are. |

I'm pretty sure almost no one likes being deported, but millions of deportations were done by other Presidents. Trump's already had hundreds of protests and some riots over his. The real factor is Trump is a moron and cretin. That is all it is. He can't do anything without making a f***ing scene. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Violently entering and disrupting a service. Brownshirt tactics. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

This is often my point. Trump occasionally has frameworks for some plans that I agree with, but rarely enacts them in a way that doesn’t rankle a large swath of the population he supposedly represents. I think a large part of the Trump disdain is that he tends to ‘weaponize’ everything. Tariffs. Investigations. Visa granting. State funding. EB will call me a liberal. Geno will call me a racist. Rx (not really) just called me crazy. I’ve been called a RINO. If you think of it, I probably have a very mild case of TDS, too! Not sure if it was this thread, but I just read more on my use of the word wetback. I won’t be using it again. |

I don't think you know the definition of violent crime. Verbal disruptions are not violence. It's way less of a brown shirt tactic than J6. |

I would say entering someone’s house/business/place of worship for the purpose of intimidation is an ‘act of violence’ even if the actual physical attack did not happen. A gunshot that whizzes by your head with no contact is an act of violence. I was once mugged at knifepoint. There was no physical contact between me and the perpetrator. Are you saying that wasn’t ’an act of violence’? The Jan 6 debacle was most assuredly a combination of multiple acts of violence. That doesn’t change the violence committed from the left today In more disturbing news, a judge and his wife were shot in his home. Left, right, or neither, I hope the felon is caught, and never sees the outside of a prison cell again. Frankly, if it were up to me, attempted murder of a judge/prosecutor/elected official/anesthesiologist should result in the death penalty. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 217 Posts: 22938 | Much as people have tried, words have never acted like a bullet. "i'm going to shoot you" is definitely different than "just yelling" angerly at someone. What threats were yelled? Trespassing (walking through an open door") is not violence. If you're just talking about violating laws, that's on point. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |
