Ahh, Grasshopper, but notice how neither Deutsche Bank NOR Trump actually denied the story. DB could easily have issued a denial, but are keeping quiet. Telling. I’m betting that the story is real, but O’Donnell just scooped too soon. As I saw another commenter elsewhere put it, the papers “haven’t 'officially' leaked…

That’s my question. “Uh, Splinter repeated statements filed in a public document ... let’s SUE!” Sure, Chinless, that’s a winner, right there.

this lawsuit is the most insane thing I’ve heard. It’s a factual description of the contents of a COURT document. It’s publicly available from the COURT... How the hell did anyone think that was even leverage worthy, much less winnable.

i love you

You can’t be a racist without unfounded guilt by association.

Cool. So on the same day that he is melting down about a college professor with no actual power making a joke at his expense, and somehow comparing that to a totalitarian, genocidal regime, the U.S. government is actually engaging in tactics employed by totalitarian regimes, i.e. not only policing speech by denying…

Now I am dreaming of a Missy, Peter, and Parliament-Funkadelic show. *swoon*

This. You just have to stop and recognize talent. She puts on a show and the music makes you want to move.

ha-  she actually shouted peter gabriel out in her speech! a true legend.

I’m still trying to forgive Peter Gabriel for making 4 consecutive self-titled albums.

Even in my hardest of hardcore metal days, I would stop and watch when Missy was on MTV. She is just mesmerizing. I think of her like I think of Peter Gabriel. I’m not always sure of what is happening, but you can’t NOT watch

If Denmark and Greenland had both been amenable to a sale, it might not have been a terrible idea. The problem is that neither nation wanted the sale, so there’s no point in wishing that they did. It was ridiculously unprofessional that the administration insisted on doing this all in public. They should have asked…

This may take a while to complete, so I am hoping Trump is in jail by the time any president is going to be shaking hands with the new Congressperson representative. I would personally find it an auspicious start if that ceremony avoided empty platitudes.

This also was a huge ray of sunshine on my day! I wonder if other groups have similar rights that they could assert, following this example? It would be so cool if suddenly 10 new native Congresspeople showed up to represent their nations! Native/First Nations people are the OG environmentalists, so it would be great…

Awesome news. Hopefully it leads to some more visibility and voice (though we may have to wait until after McConnell and co are out)

Sweet! I am very psyched about this. I wonder what brought it on at this juncture? Was it having two Native representatives in the new Congress? Was it the severe voter suppression in North Dakota? Was it Elizabeth Warren’s speech two weeks ago saying that she supports full rights for native peoples that appear…

For example, indigenous governance in Canada is largely under the Indian Act. The sole fact that is what it’s called should give some pause, and it only gets worse the more you get into it.

Indigenous affairs has been done TO indigenous people, and not with indigenous people. This is an amazing opportunity to decide if we're going to repeat the mistakes of the past or try to go forward together. Give them everything they ask for, full stop.
