I mean, would it really be that much worse than what we knew before the election? Are golden showers worse then bragging about sexual assault on rape? At this point, I don’t think there’s much of anything that would turn off his fans. They probably think hiring hookers to piss on a bed Obama once slept in sounds…

Apparently the FBI tried to get warrants over the summer to surveil Trump team. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/10/fbi-chief-given-dossier-by-john-mccain-alleging-secret-trump-russia-contacts

fave joke thus far:

At the end of the day, I’m just willing to not have trump with the nukes right now.

UK: Brexit.

Yay! Maybe they’ll impeach him soon after inauguration! Wait, Pence would be President then? Maybe Pence was in on it, and they’ll both be impeached! Wait, Paul Ryan would be President then? Maybe Pence AND Ryan were in on it, and they’ll all be impeached! Wait, Orrin Hatch would be President then?

I’m taking it with a grain of salt, even if these rumors were spinning for months, BUT at the very least it requires an independent special investigation.

You can judge a man by the company he keeps.

That Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was in the Ku Klux Klan.

As an aside, I hope this disposes of anyone’s positive thoughts toward Lindsay Graham. We had fun last year imagining him to be our kooky, effeminate uncle whose views we disagree with, but damned if we don’t love him, but truth is, he’s just as bad as the rest of them tripping all over themselves to kiss Trump’s feet.

Not that it matters, given that Donald Trump’s father was a member of the Klan.

I did Nazi that coming.

Also somewhat relevant, I think that most of the scholarships and the like should be set aside for those who had to grow up on reservations.

Claiming them back. That is such an important piece of the puzzle. My mom is native, but I grew up far removed from that culture. I struggle with identifying myself that way because it feels inauthentic. I feel like I’m appropriating a history that I have no right to. I lack the stories or language that would bring my…

If you have a great great grandma who was a “Cherokee princess” but you grew up with white privilege in the suburbs going to soccer practice in minivans and have never actually engaged with the tribe you are from, haven’t gone through the ceremonial practices, and don’t know the problems and issues faced by your…

I found this commentary useful.

His sole claim is the “Injun Joe” uncle referenced in the article, who clearly in 1956 is quoted as saying he is not indigenous at all. Doubt he has any records to back it up at all.

Because it’s seeming more and more obvious that he likely doesn’t have such things. That he’s probably been lying about his ancestry. Can’t show what you don’t have . . .

Indigenous identity is not about DNA. This is what aggravates me so much about those fucking DNA-Ancestry commercials where people find out they’re “Native American” (just that, not what tribe, or clan, or anything else), and suddenly they’re pulling dreamcatchers out of their ass.

“I don’t see the problem here....”
