Nope, 275 B a year isn't a rounding error. But Warren was also reportedly the famous Native American professor at Harvard, who is reportedly opposed to everyone profiting from foreclosures except her and her husband, and who also reportedly thinks skyrocketing tuition is wrong unless all that wampum flows into her saddlebag.

Makes no difference, and your "wampum" remark is insulting to my Native American heritage.

A history of Lies and hypocrisy make a difference to some people. To some people, it impacts the credibility of the liar & hypocrite.

If you're not insulted (and you aren't) that she deliberately appropriated the unfathomable misery your ancestors endured for her own personal gain, then please spare me your fake outrage at my remark. If you give her a pass for what she did (and we all know you do), my remark is nothing. Either it's wrong to exploit Native Americans, or it's OK. But you believe it's ok when liberals do it, and wrong when conservatives do it, and it doesn't work that way, sorry. You have to choose whether it's OK or not, and apply that standard to everyone, or else you don't actually have a principled position.

I actually am offended by your mocking her, as I am when Trump calls her Pocahontas. Generally speaking I don't think people should claim heritage unless they are quite sure (In my case I have a tribe ID) but I've never seen anything that she gained unfairly from it. Stupid but not earth shattering. The mortgage foreclosure thing also has been blown way out of proportion as well.

If you actually had any principle (other than democrat=good, republican=bad), you'd be furious at what she did.

"I've never seen anything that she gained unfairly from it."

Harvard touted her widely as their first Native American law professor.

She exploited the genuine suffering of your people, in order to land a $400,000-a-year-job.

Every single person here, knows you'd be singing a different tune, if a Republican did what she did. Because your only principle, which I have never once seen you deviate from here, is that the democrat is always, always right.

I would honestly pay good money to hook you up to a polygraph, ask you if she lied for financial gain, hear you say "no", and see what the machine says. In other words, do even you believe the nonsense that you post here?

"The mortgage foreclosure thing also has been blown way out of proportion as well"

She excoriated banks for foreclosing. Yet she and her husband bought and flipped foreclosures. So it's only OK when she does it.

Then there's her whopper about getting fired form a school job for being pregnant (poor little lamb, so victimized by the evil men), when there's paperwork that she quit and the school board asked her to stay.

But you can't call her out for any of it, because she's a democrat.

Me think-um she want to dwell in house of Great White Chief. Ugh.

I believe she was listed once in a diversity report but not by name.

The two people at Harvard who recommended her for the job said they had no idea she thought she was a Native American and she was hired solely on her professional qualifications.

She didn't flip a single foreclosure Jim.

I looked into this one, seems like it's based off some school meeting minutes that were months before she would have been visible pregnant. Certainly doesn't invalidate her story.

Pathetic.

"I believe she was listed once in a diversity report but not by name."

Of course you believe that, because it paints her actions favorably. WHat I believe, because it's true, is that Harvard did mention her by name to show the diversity of lhe law school faculty. From the Crimson Tide article below...

"Although the conventional wisdom among students and faculty is that the Law School faculty includes no minority women, Chmura said Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren is Native American."


https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1...ing-at-hls-pa/

"The two people at Harvard who recommended her for the job said they had no idea she thought she was a Native American"

You say they said. You also said they didn't mention her by name, so...

"She didn't flip a single foreclosure Jim. "

Yahoo, among others, says otherwise. I dare say you might want to re-think where you get your "news".

https://news.yahoo.com/news/harsh-fo...ycsrp_catchall

"I looked into this one, seems like it's based off some school meeting minutes that were months before she would have been visible pregnant. Certainly doesn't invalidate her story. "

Which took place "months before she was visibly pregnant"? If she quit before she was visibly pregnant, how could they have fired her for being pregnant?

Again, your sources of "news" are a tad askew.
