Spawn_of_Apathy Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 So Trump doesn't have to disclose his tax returns to run, but Warren has to take a DNA test? WTF kind of fascist shit is this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF kind of fascist shit is this?! She didn’t have to, but she knew this talking point could hurt moving forward. More important in all of this though is continuing to refute the claim that her supposed native status was used for personal gain during her time in academia.

ort Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Imagine if Trump mockingly called someone claiming to have Jewish heritage Schlomo or someone claiming to have African heritage Shaniqua or... the list goes on. It's fucking racist and juvenile and our president is a fucking clown show and anyone who supports him is a complicate piece of shit.

ort Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Trump and his supports will just double and triple down on the indian stuff. It's not like anything matters. Read the Fox News article on this and the comments and you will know all you need to know. The fact that we're talking about this at all is pathetic. Donald Trump has turned politics into a total shit show. He's a god damned disgrace to the human race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 This test doesn't really do her any favors. It's doesn't really prove much of anything. That said, Trump is a fucking garbage monster for dragging this whole thing out like this and we're all dopes for playing along. This entire "pocahontas" storyline is so fucking ridiculous. The more we talk about it the more we do Trump a favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 1/32nd native? That's not very much. Sort of dishonest on her part to use that heritage to gain additional rights. But still, Trump should pay up $1 million for being a dick about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Well, she's absolutely running. I generally like Warren, I like a good deal of her policies, but I'd sure like a capable candidate that isn't over 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Doesn't this test say that she's 1/512 Cherokee? It actually does her no favors. Spending even one second trying to get to the bottom of this story is a complete and total waste of mental energy. It doesn't matter. Facts and nuance don't matter. The test could have said that she was 100% cherokee and it wouldn't matter. Trump voters are so fucking stupid it doesn't matter. How do I know they are fucking stupid? Because they voted for Donald Trump. That's really all you need to know. If you voted for Donald Trump, you are an idiot. It's that simple. You're a dimwitted fucktard who sucks and will suck forever. You got played and you're a total fucking dope. That's always been the most depressing part of the Trump presidency. It's not Trump. It's the fact that 60 million americans are apparently stupid enough to vote for him. That's fucking alarming and will not be getting better anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right. Also I like how she had to release a DNA test and Obama had to release his birth certificate, two things that ultimately don't matter in the long run in terms of governance of this country, yet Trump still hasn't released his tax returns which could potentially shed some light on possibly compromising business deals and everyone is like " but she's only 1/512 Native American!" This country is so fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bitten by a spider, unfortunately the only power Trump gained was a fascination with carrying his young on his back, though, a wire seems to be crossed and he actually wants to have a particular one be carried on his lap.

Scott Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I've lived and worked on Indian reservations, and plenty of people receive all kinds of benefits from being 1/hugenumber Indian. This will hopefully take that talking point away from him. He's all about branding, and feeding bite-sized red meat morsels to his idiot base. Hopefully "Pocahontas" is off the table now. It was a quick, easy way for him to dismiss Warren. Now he either finds a new epithet or doubles down by criticizing her for not being "Indian enough." All in all, I agree with several other people in this thread, in that nothing really matters anymore except finding the best mental space from which to ride out the fiery inevitable decline and collapse of this country.

He gave a completely fabricated account of Dr. Ford's testimony against Kavenaugh and his drooling base still ate that shit up.

Yeah, no. He's going to double and triple down on it now. This will make it worse. He lured her in. He's luring us all in, trying to get us to play his game. When we engage with this nonsense, we're making it worse. We're validating his behavior, which would be unfit for a fucking student body president of a high school, let alone leader of the most powerful country in the world.

legend Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 This tiny percentage is so small it does seem a bit silly to bring it up and I can see the question of her discussing her "heritage" potentially being a mild scandal in 2012. But this isn't 2012. Trump has more actually legitimately concerning scandals on any given Friday than most presidents do in their whole term. No Trump supporter is ever allowed to complain about anything like this ever again and they can go fuck themselves in the ass if they do.

Massdriver Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I don't think this helps her at all. I have no idea why she released it. It's such a small fraction that Trump will just embrace it and continue to call her names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Trump simply using the term Pocahontas to disparage her about this is 50 times the scandal of anything she did. That's the most flabbergasting part of this. Even if it wasn't racist (it 110% is) it's also petty, juvenile and is more similar to the behavior of a catty jr high aged girl than the leader of the free world.
