Requesting an interlocutor to exactly define what they mean by a word or phrase in the context in which they are employing it ensures clarity and prevents misinterpretation.

The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."

How significant do you feel trumps refusal to accept any executive oversight is in relation to the constitution?

I've seen you go down irrelevant definition rabbit holes more than enough times to know that it's just one of many games you play to distract and derail threads.

This specific example is particularly galling as A. Anti-semitism has a clear meaning, one that is specifically anti-jew, and one rarely, if ever, seen referring to palestinians. So it actually serves to disrupt threads, be anti-semetic in and of itself, and try to apply an incorrect definition to a word that's already defined.
