I guess Elizabeth Warren is Running in 2020
« on: October 15, 2018, 09:04:45 AM »
She has released her DNA test, which to me means she wants to get it out of the way well before a presidential run. I'm not sure how much it helps her.

The result shows she has about 1/512th native American ancestry?  I suspect half the country has at least that much.
She is going to have to pivot and insist she never claimed to have native American ancestry, that it was all made up by the vast right wing conspiracy, or something.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Apparently this was in response to Trump saying he'd pay $1 million if she proved she was an Indian?
So now the internet gets to spend the day arguing over whether or not she counts. Another stupid "news cycle".  ;/
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The best part of this brouhaha, is that here we are in the middle of mid-term elections and Warren, while up for re-election, is sucking all the oxygen out of the room for all the other races...

I don't claim to have "a little Indian" in me but I have had some of me in a little Indian.  =D

It looks like The Cherokee Nation is not very impressed with Senator Warren's claim.

Geneticists, however, have historically had a fraught relationship with American Indian tribes, and few members in North America have given samples for these databases. Instead, Bustamante compared Warren’s DNA with that of indigenous peoples in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. Critics of Warren have already seized on this to question the validity of her DNA test—ironically, mirroring some of the skepticism of those who have been criticizing Republicans’ insistence that Warren get a DNA test all along.

WATCH: Hilarious video of Elizabeth Warren describing about how hard it was for her "oppressed" parents to get married because her Mom was a "Cherokee Indian."

Kind of interesting considering she is claiming righteous victory with a DNA test showing the ancestor is 3 or 4 generations back at least.
