That is certainly a deliberate strategy by Trump. He isn't stupid. He's a master at manipulating people. His supporters are the stupid ones.PJ_Soul said:
I more meant that how frustrating Trump is to Warren herself was a factor in her stooping. Christ, a reasonable woman can only take so much!mrussel1 said:
Agreed. I know Warren isn't running (yet), but anyone who hasn't formed a concrete opinion on Trump at this point, just isn't paying the slightest attention.PJ_Soul said:
Yes, that was what she did, unfortunately.... But surely only the most biased people would let this stupid little issue, this misstep, especially considering the level of frustration that Trump creates, be a deal breaker. If this is all it takes, then minds have been lost.mrussel1 said:
Maybe to you, and certainly in the grand scheme of things, but that's why Warren was stupid. It was a trap and it was a non-issue until she stooped to her level.brianlux said:
It's a non-fucking-issue.mrussel1 said:Warren took the bait and that was foolish. But at the end of the day, Trump also moved the goal posts, no surprise because he is a liar and notoriously cheap with his own money (not ours).
If I were NA, I'd be annoyed with both of them. Trump for using the derogatory term over and over and Warren for being a fool.
What's preferable, a racist or a fool? You decide.0 -

But it’s true that the right used to insist that you were black if you had any black heritage in the slightest, but how convenient that you’re not First Nations if you have any FN heritage.
Of course, they would be singing a different tune now anyway, when they get their own DNA results and find that their families are not what they believed.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
Yeah... the Nuremberg Laws were very clear on how to establish lineage and what % makes someone a Jew. DJT jr. is very supportive of the Americanizing of the laws.oftenreading said:

We are holding modern Republicans/Conservatives responsible for something that came out of the 19th century that was adopted by a few states early in the 20th century?oftenreading said:

At this point, whatever act agrees to play it will look like an ass.
