Comment on 20 states sue Biden admin over illegals

  If there “were no times it is not”, the definition would not use the word sometimes .

  Do you know what sometimes means?

    Do you know what sometimes means?

    If I said, "The sun sometimes rises in the east." that is a true statement, but not evidence that it ever does otherwise and if I wanted to claim "...and sometimes it rises in the west." I would still need to provide evidence other than stressing the "sometimes" in my first statement.

    How can calling a person (and not actions) "illegal" be anything but derogatory?
    Explain your west-rising sun, please.

      What direction the sun rise is not binary, unlike if a statement is derogatory, the sun can rise in the east, north east, South east, North or south.

      If the claim that the sun sometimes rises in east is true than the claim that the sun always rises in the east is false and so is that the claim the sun always rises in the east.

      If the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.

        If the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.

        No it isn't. Nothing about "sometimes" being true itself proves the corollary "always" is false.

        Besides, you would think you could end this by giving the example to refuse to proffer of a non-derogatory use.
