I’m not right now as it happens
We spend summer and fall in Taos, New Mexico and that’s where I am.
It’s gorgeous here today; looks like the afternoon thunderstorm is going to go around us today.

Good. So you can send some of Donald’s “break-a-leg” luck to those less geographically fortunate.

I somehow got the front page-clicked something that was reloading, and this Cherokee-oppressed "where’s my black-person always stands behind Donald? Lucky that fool–Donald, that is-- has no feel for history. Cah-ree-pee.

I bet if we looked hard enough (and I have no intention of doing so), there’s a CT postulated by the wingnuts that has Hillary offing Smith and adding to her body count. It wouldn’t matter who Smith worked for - she would be responsible for the hit.

Maybe they could get their own talk show like traitorous felon Oliver North.

If I read that correctly over there on that thread, the claim is that the entire Confederacy was made up of Cherokee Indians.
Is that what it really said?

I think that pardon would be tested in the courts.
A president pardoning someone who helped hack an election ( by which the pardoning president was elected) undermines the constitution and rule of law.

Totally agree.
Cherokee Confederacy?
I don’t know. I’d only go over to that site if I was able to use a Serbian adult site to shield my identity.
Schiller doesn’t warn the doofus? I heard a Higher Power protects fools and drunks…

I guess I read it in a hurry. I thought that’s what I saw, but I can’t be sure
Unless enough dirt comes out and Trump gets impeached and convicted first. I think Mueller’s first goal might be to get Trump out of office. And if Pence pardons, he is done for 2020.

Do you know if the Cherokees were hostile? Wait a minute , Jim Garner was part Cherokee. It was the name of his production company. Apaches they weren’t. What is happening to us?

From wikipedia:
The Cherokee Nation was seriously destabilized in May 1997 in what was variously described as either a nationalist “uprising” or an “anti-constitutional coup” instigated by Joe Byrd, the Principal Chief. Elected in 1995, Byrd became locked in a battle of strength with the judicial branch of the Cherokee tribe. The crisis came to a head on March 22, 1997, when Byrd said in a press conference that he would decide which orders of the Cherokee Nation’s Supreme Court were lawful and which were not.
A simmering crisis continued over Byrd’s creation of a private, armed paramilitary force. On June 20, 1997 his private militia illegally seized custody of the Cherokee Nation Courthouse from its legal caretakers and occupants, the Cherokee Nation Marshals, the Judicial Appeals Tribunal and its court clerks. They ousted the lawful occupants at gunpoint. Immediately the court demanded that the courthouse be returned to the judicial branch of the Cherokee Nation, but these requests were ignored by Byrd.[citation needed] The Federal authorities of the United States initially refused to intervene because of potential breach of tribal sovereignty. The State of Oklahoma recognized that Byrd’s activities were breaches in state law. By August, it sent in state troopers and specialist anti-terrorist teams. Byrd was required to attend a meeting in Washington, DC with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, at which he was compelled to reopen the courts. He served the remainder of his elected term. In 1999 Byrd lost the election for Principal Chief to Chad Smith but was elected to the Tribal Council in 2013.
A new constitution was drafted in 1999 that included mechanisms for voters to remove officials from offices, changed the structure of the tribal council, and removed the need to ask the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ permission to amend the constitution. The tribe and Bureau of Indian Affairs negotiated changes to the new constitution and it was ratified in 2003. Confusion resulted when the US Secretary of the Interior would not approve it.[8] To overcome the impasse, the Cherokee Nation voted by referendum to amend its 1975/1976 Constitution “to remove Presidential approval authority,” allowing the tribe to independently ratify and amend its own constitution.[9] As of August 9, 2007, the BIA gave the Cherokee Nation consent to amend its Constitution without approval from the Department of the Interior.[10] Certain non-Cherokee groups contest the viability of this constitution.
I’m floored. This looks like the guy would fit right in. Maybe he can take Rex’s job.
Apaches they weren’t is very correct indeed.
They had a written language.
The Navajos are Apaches - they all migrated down from western Canada, or British Columbia just in time to discover horses and terrorize the pueblos.
PS - I remember that whole thing that rocked the Cherokee nation.
Did you see that crap up above? They had a militia? Anti-terrorist teams? Biggest non-Trump surprise I’ve had since I got here.
Edit, OK.

Yeah and I remember when that happened. I don’t know why I knew about it unless I picked it up when I was spending summers in Colorado. I used to pick up a native station out of Cortez on the radio.
