Not the point, Trump makes fun of anyone who calls him out and far to many of his personal attacks are completely inappropriate. Disabled, life long patriot, prisoner of war, it matters little to Trump, civility, respect and decorum are not words he lives by. He lessons the position of president with each and every tweet.

Perhaps the position of President should be lessened. It has become a more powerful position than was imagined when it was created. Come to think of it, the same can be said of the entire federal government.

And, BTW, those early pols weren't exactly the most civil, respectful, and decorous politicians whoever "respected" their office. There was a lot of hate and vituperation cast at one another, as was done in the flaming press of that time. Aaron Burr, a sitting Vice President, fought a duel and killed one of the most famous and "respected" founders, Hamilton.

Really that is your argument, that because it was done in the past, it is to be expected in the present? If we haven’t changed in that respect, then it’s time we did, nobody needs to be a fing ahole to govern or make a point. Far to many threads fall into the same lame argument based on past administrations and you are taking it to a new level of absurdity by really setting the way back machine to a time that has no relevance today. You have been driving around in the Delorian for too long.

it is at least part of the point. the left never, EVER stops talking about race, not ever. and none of them had anything critical to say when a prominent senator who is their party’s current front runner for potus, lies about being a minority to get a cushy job.

trump is a jerk. and the left doesn’t give a rats azz about minorities, unless it’s pilitically advantageous to do so.

i’ve ripped
into trump many times, i thought this time he was hilarious, and you’d be hard pressed to find a more deserving target.

Wounded Knee was one of the worst native massacres in US history.

Native Americans have decried Mr Trump's language, calling it insensitive and racist.

And the usual suspects rush in to run defense with absurd comparisons

another horrible
massacre of
native americans was the trail of tears. liz warren isn’t descended from cherokee’s, but she is deacended from someone who was an enforcer on the Trail If Tears. then she seizes
for herself the sympathy we have for these people, for her own profit.

and you don’t care. all that offends you, is the brashness of Trumps criticism ofbher cultural theft.

do you object to what warren did at all?

pray to god she gets the nomination, trump wouldn’t even have to campaign.

"Warren cultural Theft .... what a joke "

When you and Spence reply with "wrong, that's a joke", with absolutely zero supporting evidence, we all know that you are desperately grasping at straws.

But for the sake of argument, can you explain why she isn't guilty of cultural theft? She claimed to be Native American when applying for a $400,000-a-year job at Harvard, which she got, and for which Harvard advertised that she was a Native American professor.

When asked to provide an authentic Oklahoma Cherokee recipe for a Native American cookbook, she chose a crab omelette. There are two choices here...(1) Warren is stupid enough to honestly believe that crabs were a staple of the diet of the Oklahoma Cherokees, or (2) she's a fraud. There is no third option, so I'd love it if you tell me which you think it is.

"you need to look in the mirror on the topic of hate when it come to Warren"

I happily concede that I hate Elizabeth Warren, and that I pray with all my heart that she gets the nomination. If she gets the nomination, the GOP could nominate Pol Pot and win.

This is about Trumps comments not warren action but you love your cause and effect arguments again as. if both are equal

Do you blame the women being raped south of the border ? if they never made the trip they put themselves at risk

Ps Spence and I provide plenty of supporting evidence. Your upset because the facts i do not support your many dubious non factual claims


In 1984, Warren contributed five recipes to a Native American cookbook entitled “Pow Wow Chow:

Wow your using a 34 year old cook book for your arguments how sad is that

I'm starting to really worry about what you are praying for.

She claimed on her job app. that she was Native American? I didn't know that.

Did it help her get the job?

So isn't she Native American give she has like 5% - 10% NA blood?

It's odd to pray that the other side nominates someone with zero chance of winning? OK.
