haha. I swear normal people are stuck between Boomer humor which is trash and the geeks on this site who are the human equivalent of the missed high five.

This is the worst of all takes. She’s really not. Someone with such a small fraction of indigenous heritage whose connection to it is a single story about a single ancestor who no one can actually say even is Cherokee (remember, the US government at that time kept extremely good records about the indigenous people…

Where is the update to this story that shows Cherokee Nation also discrediting her bullshit?

So stupid to even engage with this level of dumbness, why do Dems insist on constantly slipping on the banana peel

If Warren thinks she can beat Trump by playing his games, she’s gonna get crushed.

Let me just dumb all this down to one statement:

Exactly. I’m actually kind of pissed she did this. Mostly because she gave in to Trump’s bullshit.

This is also why Warren shouldn’t run. It’s more Boomer vs Boomer shit tied to mid-20th century ideas of cultural identity and 19th-century scientific racism.

This is unfolding more or less exactly as anyone with more than two brain cells could have predicted it would. This was never a serious debate, it was name calling, and maybe not as many people had to deal with bullies growing up as I assume some times, but this is exactly what always happened when you tried to debate…

This just a tiny taste of what is in store should Warren actually run in 2020.

Ultimately, she shouldn’t have done this DNA test anymore than Obama should have released his birth certificate. The facts don’t matter to roughly 30-50% of Americans. Those Americans wanted Obama’s transcripts after the birth certificate and Warren didn’t accomplish anything by running her DNA. Donald Trump has still…

No shit, it’s wasted effort.

In this instance, it very much is! This is widely being read as a starting gun for her 2020 campaign, and she used it to acquiesce to Trump essentially daring her to offer her genetic makeup as Proof for public consumption. That’s a silly unforced error to me.

so what you’re saying is, this whole DNA test thing is a net positive. i just want to get this straight

Yeah, I don’t see his voters caring about the test. Trump’s aren’t effective because they’re based on the truth, they’re effective because his supporters enjoy the public mockery.

But will it neuter anything? He’ll likely just say it’s fake news and she paid some quack professor who thinks he’s smarter than everyone from his fancy elite ivory tower to say things to appease the left. Libs owned or something. 

Totally. A middle aged “most powerful man in the world” getting blown by the most junior person in the workplace was the “onion on the belt” of office sex in the nineties. It was the style of the time.

Let’s see, Hillary Clinton muffed the biggest presidential election of our generation and learned nothing from it, and Bill Clinton is a sex predator. Yes, these are definitely people that should still be talking and telling the rest of us what we should do.

Bill , you charming ole super- predator, you had your three strikes, why aren’t you out? You and Hills gonna tell us how much fun you had pushing that Overton window?

There’s a lot of “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” posts citing Manchin “only” voting with Trump 55% of the time and crying about purity tests.
