My reading of that issue was that if you see an article trending on a conservative website then try and confirm it with other sources as conservative websites tend to be full of bullshit.

Why don't you try to read this article...with a detailed history of the family going back to the 1800's and an in depth explanation of where the claim comes from. Of course you will not bother, but that is to be expected.

It's an interesting juxtaposition that Elizabeth Warren cannot claim her Native American heritage, yet the judge in the Trump U case is a Mexican and is thus not impartial.

That article is cited in this one from The Atlantic, where Harvard officials confirm that she neither asked for nor received any benefit because of a perceived minority status at Harvard:

None of which seems to matter to Republicans who prefer to try and tarnish someone whose accomplishments far exceed theirs. Can't have a Democrat with accomplishments you know. That just wouldn't be prudent.

The Right Wing nut jobs totally dominate 'talk radio' (good old AM radio; nice, old fashioned, traditional technology). If they could bring themselves into the modern age, maybe they could come up with their own version of 'Facebook'. Facebook (which I don't like at all, btw) has captivated mainstream America so if the republicans don't like how it operates, build a better one. They do have Faux Noise, which outperforms all the liberal channels combined, so I don't know what you are complaining about.

I honestly think American Talk Radio on both sides of the aisle is just terrible. Always hear about the conservative crazies, and wouldn't dream to tune in. But after a recent car purchase, I received 3 or something months free Sirius XM, and tuned into Sirius "Progress" or something like that, the liberal equivalent. It was awful. No intelligent discussion or analysis, just underhanded stabs, shallow commentary, ranting, etc. I.e., although I would probably agree with respect to at least some of the issues, I thought they were no better than Rush Limbaugh. Pitiful.

Except it is totally false..in so many ways. Not least because she was not on his staff and he had no authority to fire her, nevermind his own numerous contradictions.

No more bull shit Donald. When do we see your tax returns? You hounded Mitt Romney over his back in 2012. Also need an update on the hundreds of businesses that were never paid after doing work for you. By the way a significant number of the vets that you love so much are /were of Hispanic descent. No they're not "Mexicans" they're Americans serving in the US forces that you so adroitly managed to avoid serving in

I see that Trump is still using the outrageously gross and racist epithet of 'Pocahontas' when referring to Elizabeth Warren.

I wonder how he gets away with it. Is it because the Native population is a considerably smaller voice in America compared to other minorities?
Or does this just not bother people so much?

What would happen if Trump started referring to those of latino heritage as 'Pedro', or to African Americans as 'Laquisha' or some such?

If it happened in the workplace I suspect that individual would be out of a job very quickly, but with a candidate for President... it's just an acceptable attack on an opposing politician.

Madness.
