For those who are not aware, Trump is mocking the Trail of Tears that killed half the remaining Cherokee nation (as well as members of several other tribes) on a forced-relocation death march.

I've never been a Trump fan, but until now I've avoided actively working against him for re-election.

That changes now.

This is an act of bullying that represents pure, unmitigated, psychotic, racist cruelty.

No doubt one can note many previous such acts in the man's oeuvre, but this is a bridge too far for me.

I really don't understand how someone could conclude that isn't what he was talking about. Why else put it in all caps? This would be an insane conclusion to reach if he hadn't, but because he did I think it's just another "Naaaah that's not what I meant at all WINKY FACE" Trump moment that people pushing agendas try to gaslight people into thinking is nothing.

The entire tweet is a reference to her mistake with this issue, but the end that's in ALL CAPS isn't continuing the references? Yeeeeah. Not buying it.

Then you lack the ability to apply simple logic. Sorry, thats the most gentle way I can put it.

The word is associated with Natives. Its the racist left that goes the extra mile to make the further association in order to extract that precious and addictive OUTRAGE.

You could articulate why Trump would want to mock dead Indians, in addition to Pocahontas...

Yes, genius, that is EXACTLY what he meant. You figured it out. Your assessment is totally truthful and not crazy.

A lifetime spent in the support of the mockery and demeanment of minorities and women, and those who support them?

"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" --Trump, about Africa and Haiti, 2017
"You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?" - Trump, to black voters, 2016
"I mean a lot of them. I mean a lot of them." -Trump, at a debate in 2016 when asked if he believed all 1.6 billion Muslims hated the United States
'I'm a negotiator like you folks.' -Trump, to the Republican Jewish coalition, circa 2015
“I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it...The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day. Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that." --Trump circa 1991, according to John R. O'Donnell, the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino
"Who the f knows? I mean, really, who knows how much the Japs will pay for Manhattan property these days?", Trump, 1989
"You have to treat [women] like shit." -Trump "You'd make a good mafioso." -Philip Johnson "One of the greatest." - Trump

I already know you are incapable of logic and fit squarely in my drooling lunatic left category. No need to prove it. I was just curious if Shrin is dangerously trending in that direction.

But I do love how you dug up innocuous statements and tried to wedge in a denied quote from an anti-trump book about blacks. You believed that fake "stupid Americans, we control America" anti-Israel meme -- you are not a critical thinker.

The guy made a casual reference to Wounded Knee, the site of a massacre of Native Americans not even a month ago. This is just the kind of guy he is. The man lacks empathy.

I do, however, still have better things to do than to be talked down to, so this is all I have to say to you on this.

I will let the evidence speak for me, just as with my stance on Trump.

Be prepared to begin losing support here the more that you condescend to others over your support for Trump. There are no other Trump supporters here and are not likely to be, ever.

I get the sense that the era of the fame and glory of the billionaire realtor prick is ending generally. People are getting sick of prancing billionaires who made their fortunes raising rents, evicting others, and generally making other people poor.

That being said, I'll still offer to extend an olive branch and meet you for lunch in Los Angeles for a diplomatic summit any time you're ready. :)

I believe it's important to serve the community here, and to work the "peace process" here the same way I would abroad if given a chance. World peace is among our most important needs. Community peace, too.

We won't get it under Trump; we probably won't get it under anybody, the Dems included. The real anti-war liberals like Cyn McKinney get rousted out of politics by military-industrial interests; but I hate their empire, and will see it brought low and the world exalted in peace one day if I can.

As a final note, if you'd like the optics of the situation to change in your insistence that somehow this isn't about Native American genocide, maybe give some of the current pundits around the situation a call and ask them to rein it in a bit.

I'm well aware that Michael Malice is a dubious figure to characterize as alt-right - he's so far off the edge of any political spectrum as to be basically off the scale - but still, it's just more evidence that Trump's bad behavior spawns and legitimatizes bullying and hatred of minorities, just as it has since the start of his Presidency.

Wordy. Next time just say "Good day, sir! I said Good day!".

You didn't support your position -- you simply further transposed motives (perhaps projecting your own bigotry) on another comment and made an ad hominem. That's not logic. That's not critical thinking. But play hurt bunny because you were criticized all you want -- I'm sure it's a comforting blankie.

Trump is mocking Warren and her actions. Not dead natives. Call him insensitive to your particular silly sensibilities, but don't be dishonest about his motivation or intent.

PS - sorry, I sent this previously as a PM instead -- new UI confused me.

Well, in that case I will have to pull back and stop financing all the people here -- I think if tOWS needs to pick between my wallet and being anti-Trump, they will pick my wallet. XD

You probably should. Has no one and have none of your life experiences ever taught you yet that friends you buy generally aren't really your friends?

To one and all - what on Earth is the nature of the little billionaire boys' club that you've let Kali turn this place into?
