    Your comprehension is lacking, I said "I doubt the threats were credible", I never said they weren't made.

    I'll help ya out here with a dictionary definition:

    "The term credible threat means a threat that is “ real and immediate, not conjectural or hypothetical.”

    Your best defense is a good offense tactic just went flat.

    Right you are! And always remember to squeeze the trigger slowly -- don't 'pull the trigger'. When you're ready to fire, exhale gently, pushing air out uniformly from the diaphragm. And don't blink!

    (    Sigh!) On some days I can even remember something like Vietnam fondly....

    I'm more surprised gay-rights groups didn't get on Maxine as well. Telling people to shoot "straight" - now that comment is just too darn homophobic! :machinegun:

    First of all if you go back and review this you will see that it started with me saying "You 'doubt' but you sure don't know." Secondly, my post replied to two other posters plus you. So not everything I said necessarily applied to you.

    You sound like my old First-Sergeant.... I never was a particularly good shot, honestly. I missed my Marksman's Ribbon by one score. But, I did my best using some of our 'other tools'. :phonecall:

    The GOP got plenty of idiots to make death threats... and that is a crime that gets you send behind bars as well.

    Now just what can one imagine that dear old Maxine has done that would make anyone want to shoot her?! It just boggles the mind to try to conceive of what she could possibly have said or done to make anyone that mad. No foolin'.... 8) :flagus:

    Duck, Dodge and Hide. You got caught twisting context, I've been around here for 10+ years there's nothing I haven't seen before. I hope I helped improve your vocabulary.

    My eyes fill with tears wondering how our lives in the United States would change without people like Maxine Waters. Tears of sadness, or tears of joy...?

    She just vented her mind. I mean... it's a free country and all of that. But some GOPs don't agree.

    It doesn't put a dent in my argument that make death threats as GOP supporters just recently did,... will get you behind bars when caught.

    And I really do not hear enough GOP supporters being patriotic about free speech.

    Sure a revelation of the context is ducking, dodging, and hiding to you because that's how you operate. I've been on forums for 20 years and I've seen it all.

    WHY ARE DEMOCRATS SO LAWLESS, HATEFUL, AND VIOLENT?

    Man Arrested After Threatening To Kill GOP Rep. Zeldin Campaign Worker.

    “A man was arrested in Suffolk County, New York on Friday for making “terroristic threats” against a campaign worker for GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin. . . . According to the release, Astrof threatened to kill supporters of Congressman Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump at Zeldin’s campaign headquarters in New York.”​

    Here’s the police report.

    When you're calling your political opponents "Nazi's!" you are calling for lawless physical attacks.

    In order for a threat to be credible, the person threatening must have the means and ability to carry it out. The dweeb lives with his grandmother and has no registered firearms. The threat isn't credible.
