Thank you for this thoughtful article on what it truly means to be a native american. I think it is important to recognize that being a Cherokee or a member of any other tribe is about culture and relationships, not a result of a DNA test.

Yeah, the fact that she thinks this vindicates her claim and that she really is a victim shows how disconnected she is with reality.

You mean, wherein she tried to have it both ways? To be Native American enough to shut Trump up and not Native American enough to offend members of the community.

Why the F is Warren even doing this? She is coming off petty, holding on to something she can’t let go and putting herself on Trumps level of “petty”. Especially before the midterms? Its baffling really and this one move has lost her even the nomination if she plans to run for President. She has zero chance now of…

I was so grossed out when I saw that Elizabeth Warren was digging her heels in on this issue, both for the harm it does to Native Americans and the fact that it makes me agree with Trump on the absurdity of the claim (minus the name calling and the way he goes about it).

I am going to put this out there the average white american has about 1% of native DNA, statistically the exact same amount Warren is claiming. However those American’s do not call themselves Natives in professional settings as Warren did (source and source) or at the very least did not correct when others made the…

The commercial DNA tests have issues. Their cohorts usually have certain ethnic groups underrepresented, and it’s all guesswork, anyway. The ethnicity groups are based on ratios of genetic variants and probability of certain haplotypes (sorry for the jargon) existing in certain populations. So the broad strokes are…

He’s never going to pay, but everyone with a functioning brain cell already knew that, regardless of the outcome of the test.

Based on my extensive viewing of court tv shows-the ring, as a “gift in contemplation of marriage,” is legally required to be returned if the marriage doesn’t happen. 

She can interview the corrupt piece of shit in prison.

I really wish she pushed him on it -- especially since she will never have access to Trump ever again after this airs.

The piglets always suffer the most in these situations.

Melania’s really trying to come off like an Indiana Jones villain during her colonial nostalgia tour...

Say hi to your Dear Leader Putin for us!

You sound smart.

Of course. Why am I even surprised. 

It’s going to be somehow set in Sacramento, isn’t it.

Geez, you guys hate everyone except Cardi B.

I don’t get it? He’s underqualified because he hadn’t read the book? I know of actors who participated in Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and The Walking Dead who have not read the source material. Were they also underqualified?

I’m squarely on Timothée’s side here. Part of the patriarchy is the horrible notion that men have to be the face of everything they do and know all the answers. For a guy to keep his head down, publicly celebrate working with talented women and more importantly, not take credit for the work they do is a pretty good…
