SO MUCH WINNING!!!!

 

https://www.npr.org/2018/10/15/657653080/federal-judge-rules-in-favor-of-trump-in-stormy-daniels-defamation-lawsuit

 

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against President Trump by adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who claimed the president had defamed her earlier this year on Twitter.

The lawsuit was filed over a tweet Trump sent in April suggesting Daniels was lying about being threatened in 2011 not to go public with her story of an alleged sexual encounter with Trump.

"A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!" the president tweeted.

Warrens DNA test shows maybe some south American in her so far back it doesn't matter, but she still claims she an Indian! 

 

"A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is prove. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."

- Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin, Jr.

I'm leaning towards diversionary tactics.  There wasn't a peep about Nikki Haley leaving before she did.  Trump has likewise feigned impatience with Sessions, but Sessions is still there.  The last Trump cabinet switch-up that had anything like a hint before it happened was Tillerson, and that was still something of a surprise.

 

But who knows.  Trump is, as ever, unpredictable.

Apologies for Breitbart and all but...

 

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/10/17/hree-percent-of-elizabeth-warrens-dna-from-ancestor-who-rounded-up-cherokees-for-trail-of-tears/

 

Breitbart News first reported in 2012 that Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) great-great-great grandfather Jonathan Crawford was a member of the Tennessee Militia that rounded up Cherokees living there at the time for the Trail of Tears journey to Oklahoma in the 1830s.

 Businesses taking the attitude of "Fuck Thy Neighbor" in a circumstance like that, often experience some pretty serious backlash once shit returns to normal.

Democrat Party: Why did 6.7 to 9.2 million Americans who voted for Obama suddenly decide to vote for Trump?

 

Vox: THEY'RE RACISTS!!!!!!!

"Vox" is in my round file, right next to "Salon", under the heading of "Bad Fiction".

They are terrified because of their country's state-controlled media were reporting on that much violence at home, they really would have something to worry about.

 

It's the Florida Man effect. The US is one of the safest, most open places in the world, but it also has some of the best transparency policies, and in the big scheme of things it's one of the least corrupt places in the world. So the picture people see is not as polished as it would be elsewhere.

All of this is true.

 

But I want to think that the above was written as a form of virtue signalling on social media.
