Sadly my native American ancestors did not have their own immigration policy. And you can see what it led to.
This lame ass could have just held up a sign saying I AM A BIGOT
Trumpâs supporters are such interesting and despicable people â bottom feeding losers like this jerk.
How could this kind of approach possibly fail to broaden Trumpâs appeal to the general electorate?! Genius! - Please, proceed!
Who cares what Warrenâs heritage is? She isnât using it for identity politics. She isnât using it to get the affirmative action that gets conservativesâ undies in a twist. Sheâs from Oklahoma, so the chances are higher that she might have some Native American ancestors. She doesnât make a big deal about it.
Trump canât help himself. He had some business conflict with casino-owning Indians, so itâs personal. All Indians are bad people. Same as his stance on Mexico. He had some deals go down in Mexico that didnât go his way, so, build a wall.
Digby made the case for Trumpâs personal grudges being a big motivator for his rants against other ethnicities and nationalities.
Howie Carr proves time and time again acting like angry, bigoted white trash is a good career move in the US.
The entire Trump campaign really is a huge magnet for the morons, fools, idiots, and most frequently, the ASSHOLES in this country.
I guess what they say about âBirds of a featherâŚâ is true.
The saddest part is that there are people who would consider this a good move.
Itâs not. All the racists are already on board for Trump.
Keeping it classy you miserable jerksâŚbut then you donât care that the whole âstupid old white manâ meme is destroying the country do you?
Can these people be anymore like third-graders? I hope they keep it up!
By the next election the GOP candidates and supporters will just be grunting.
James Fallows, whoâs my biggest hero since Batman, I guess, has been listing all the bizarre things Trump does that a normal candidate wouldnât do. In his latest and 29th installment of these, he had this stuff fourth:
- âPocahontas.â He is at this again. Here is why it matters: mocking a very popular female Democratic figure, in terms a lot of people will see as racially derogatory, may have been a great base-rallying technique during the primary elections. As you supposedly âpivotâ for the general election â where you need womenâs votes, non-whitesâ votes, youth votes, and other groups beyond the GOPâs base â this is the kind of thing you donât do any more. But he keeps doing it.
And grooming the lice off each other, like baboons, and eating the lice they find.
Most sentient beings within the broadcast area he reaches are well aware of that pesky little truth. Carr is a sad little man who gives steaming piles of dogshite a bad name.
The calculation by the Trumpers is that there are not enough Native Americans to matter. Just like his idea that Mexicans all live in Deep Red Texas (or out-of-reach California) and pose no electoral threat.
Native Americans DO, of course, matter.
But in the calculus Trump SHOULD be using, they matter with regard to actual VOTERS.
-
Millions of people like my wife identify with Native Americans**
-
Still other multitudes of Asians and Pacific Islanders do as well
-
Many more millions of white Americans take deep pride in what Native American ancestry they have***
** The word that many caribenos use for âleaderâ is the indigenous word âcaciqueâ
*** There was a Navy flier in the battle of Midway named WaldronâŚFrom Wikipedia:
[John Charles Waldron (August 24, 1900 â June 4, 1942) was a United States Navy aviator who led a squadron of torpedo bombers in World War II. He and most of his squadron perished in the Battle of Midway.
Waldron was born on August 24, 1900[1] at Fort Pierre, South Dakota, son of rancher Charles Westbrook Waldron and Jane Van Metre[2] grandson of lawyer and probate Judge George Prentiss Waldron,[3] and a sixth great nephew of Richard Waldron.[4] He was of colonial New Hampshire families on his fatherâs side,[5][6] and of Oglala Lakota on his motherâs side. In the midst of his armed forces career he married Adelaide Wentworth and had two daughters. He studied law and was admitted to the bar, but never practiced.[7] World War II Navy Commander George Philip Jr., a Navy Cross recipient and namesake of USS George Philip (FFG-12), was the son of Waldronâs sister Alice Island Waldron.]
Apologies to Primates (except the Catholic ones)
âYou know Elizabeth Warren. Rightâ? Carr asked the crowd before pounding his hand over his mouth to make a faux-war whoop.
Carr also used the opportunity to call himself a ârich guy.â
Fitting that an asshole is selected to introduce the asshole.
Itâs important that theyâre big assholes. How else would their heads fit up there?
