too funny... you are perceptive Steve. I suppose you are one of the few to really read my posts.  I do consider myself a centrist... I have very left and right leanings depending on the issue.  I agree with some of the things the liberals do, and think some of it complete bullsh*t.. same as the Republican Party.. at least the old Republican Party that we once knew before it became the train wreck has become.

Yes, good ideas can come from anywhere, best to keep an open mind. Strict ideologues are a problem, I prefer those that come up with creative solutions. I also have never attached myself to any particular politician as if they were the one who had the answer to everything.
These rabid trump fans are a brain washed sheep herd worshiping their corrupt messiah, but I suppose that's a lot easier than thinking.

I call my self a centrist but I'll swing way to the left in response all to the Republican BS at times. Logically, someone like Bernie makes little sense to me but emotionally he sounds great. That's not a good way to think politically but we live in such illogical 'Trumpian' times that it can't be helped.

now our blessed seniors will be the crosshairs of the Repubican Party hahaha.  Dear God.. what has happened to my country.

god help us all...  what happened to the nation we once had. Where a foundation concept we had, you know, those things seperating us from the despots and bananna republics....was is better to let one guilty man go than to imprison a innocent one.  For a few isolated instances of fraud.. and again.. no wonder the Republicans have never produced proof of widespread voter fraud.. it simply doesn't exist..  just occasional mistakes and gliches...  half this country thinks it is acceptable to attempt to bring back the good old days of intimidating people not to vote.
At the very least, we know that she is a proponent of innocent until proven guilty, so I am pretty sure that she wouldn't jump to any conclusions that these women ARE guilty.

If they are then I hope that it is an isolated incident and that they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  It isn't really all that surprising that in a country that had 130 million votes that there are instances of fraud such as this.  Not that 200 or 300 votes is going to make much of a difference in most cases outside of some smaller local contests.  And although this is concerning, the bigger concern is the news on how easy it was for hackers to hack the election machines/computers.  That is far more likely to cause an election to be stolen.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting for Trump to cough up the million he promised to charity if Warren could prove her Native American ancestry, which she recently did. 

Warren's DNA test analysis:

Background on the million dollars:


By the way, if you're into genealogy, these tests are pretty useful. I took a Y-DNA test a couple years ago and found I was related to a male line with a completely different surname. The change probably happened somewhere between the Ulster Plantation and the 19th century. It still doesn't knock down my 19th century brick wall, but shows I have more Scottish in me than I thought I did.

of course we are sitting ducks.. but let's remember that elections are the domain of state and local officials not the federal government. Some states are taking this seriously, some are more worried about fraudulent voters and other Democratic chicanery...

I think it will happen, if it is as easy as they said it is and create one hell of a mess.  Only then after will action be taken. That is often the way of things these days isn't it? Foresight and prevention.. oh hell no... that costs money and isn't the kind of red meat that gets voters angry and out to vote.

Wonder why your statement met with deafening silence?

1/1024
 
Considering the fact that Sen. Warren's mother "was part Cherokee and part Delaware" it makes those respective parts 1/2048 each.

^ Being that Warren never used this supposed Native American heritage as any kind of a "race card", who cares?

I don't care if it's 100% or 0%. This Native American claim is not important to anyone except Trump.

I suppose talking about her DNA is more important than talking about our rising national debt or Putin's plans for the Ukraine.

Trump's too busy praising the Montana governor who body slammed a news reporter last year. The man has his priorities.

You don't get it. so I'll spell it out for you. Warren never claimed Native American decent in any ways that could have monetarily benefited her such as when applying for student loans, as they would have come to her more easily. Or for jobs such as teaching which again would have given her preference. You are right in assuming that one person aside from Trump cares about this. It's you.

No, not really. It's how important it seemed to Trump.

Sure thing she never used it....
 
It's the same sort of excuse Trump supporters use to ignore your claims against their beloved president.

^ No, he can't release those tax forms, too much to hide, just part of the life of a con artist.
