DNA tests are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
Weird how every Deplorable on twitter is suddenly an expert on Native American genealogy, who knew there were so many esteemed scholars living in their parents' mold-infested basements. -Jeff Tiedrich

(3,975 posts)why do you find his offensive behaviour humorous....that is normalizing this hideous man...
sheshe2
(83,791 posts)It is poking fun at Donnie. I guess you boycott Saturday Night Live and every other commedion that makes fun of him. Senator Warren has a thick skin and has been dealing with this crap since her run against Scott Brown here in MA. She Persisted, at times with humor. A little humor and a belly laugh is good medicine in these times. If we don't laugh once in awhile we will dwell in these days of darkness.
I have no clue why you would come on my thread and personally attack me.

(7,522 posts)If someone used the n-word in this manner, and people told you to lighten up, you would be all over them. It isn't funny and not in any way a belly laugh. Total hypocrisy.

(7,522 posts)What I wrote was about repeating the meme using that term. Trying to justify with that dumb story isn't relevant to the point.

Hypocritical and extremely revealing.
Please explain in detail.
Oh and a personal attack as well?

(25,541 posts)Edit: Silly me, it didn't occur to me that they were upset about the word Pocahontas in the joke, I thought it was the orangutan part.
sigh.

(1,068 posts)That is I could say the phrase "You people..." to one group of people and we could all get along. Then I could say the same thing to a completely different set of people and that would set them off.

(7,681 posts)Merely noting that you have posted a racist meme is attacking you? Please.
sheshe2
(83,791 posts)Since I am posting racist memes, by quoting a name that Donnie calls my Senator.

(83,791 posts)There are people beating up Warren here tonight.
Thanks, Hekate.
melman
(7,681 posts)it uses it. There is a difference. And it is entirely irrelevant that Warren is 'your' senator. A racist term is a racist term.
As for the thread I think it's better that it stays here. So people can see. See the meme and see the rationalization.
It matters that it is a racist term our dear dear president uses, oh and ex senator scottie brown who started it in MA. The meme does not do that.
Oh nooos! Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. I will wear an R on my chest all my days now. You called me a racist, melman. Oh yes you did.
I am sure you took this person to task for a racist slur.

I thought you meant the other "R" word. . . Republican.

(33,356 posts)Shit-fer-brains Donnie only makes up names for people who annoy him, in other words, human beings who do good things.
The Right Honorable Senator Pocahontas has a big badge to wear. She's done excellent work throughout all the time that Daddy's Boy Donnie has been a parasite. She's stood up to his bullying attempts and called him out on his lies and deplorable behavior. This DNA thing is just the latest smack-down she's given him.
Respect!

Laffy Kat
(16,383 posts)She should leave orangutans out of a tRump comparison. First of all the apes are smarter, and secondly they are much better looking. Sure, they are the same color, but a lot of things are orange.

(33,356 posts)We should get through midterms before you start promoting your picks for Pres/VP 2020.
sheshe2
(83,791 posts)She is one hell of a strong woman and we need her there...especially because the GOP fear her.
She is my Senator. Met her once. Amazing woman.
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,356 posts)In 2016, I had a brief hope that HRC would ask Warren to be VP on the ticket. I assume they decided it was best for Sen. Warren to keep up the fight in the Senate.
We could use more fighters like her.
Initech
(100,081 posts)It would certainly make their heads explode!

(33,356 posts)Just announcing that would send some GOPers running for cover.
Rebl2
(13,523 posts)We need her to stay in the Senate and fight for us.
sheshe2
(83,791 posts)She can do the GOP more damage from there.
Hekate
(90,714 posts)If she runs for prez, there is no need for her to quit her Senate seat, is there? It's a win-win -- if she is sent to the WH, she quits the Senate and her governor appoints a replacement. If she loses the WH bid, we still have her in the Senate.
sheshe2
(83,791 posts)So yes, Hekate ,it would be a win win.
Buzz cook
(2,472 posts)The governor doesn't appoint a replacement. That's how Brown got in after Kennedy passed away.
