At a completely inappropriate setting to do such a stupid thing.
your opinion.  It solicited the response he was anticipating, and that response by Warren once again shows off her bad side.

That is not stupid, it is intelligent, although I freely admit a NeverTrumpet like yourself will never agree.

Just as I wouldn't expect a Worshiper of the Orange to disagree with any and all dumbassery from the DumbAss in Chief.  That you believe that politics and inappropriate comments for the occasion should be interjected at an event that was supposed to be honoring veterans speaks volumes.  If it were Obama doing a similar thing you would be screeching your head off.  I won't apologize for expecting a certain amount of decorum at this type of event.

Personally, I consider myself a NeverBassoon.  Let’s be honest - it’s a ridiculous looking thing.

Beautifully stated as a NeverTrumpet, and, of couse, incorrect in proper identification of who you are talking to.  But go on believing it, as it does not matter to anyone but yourself.

Pretty sure Trump has called her Pocahontas before, so why wouldn't she think he's talking about her again?

Yes he has. From June 2016

It almost feels to me like we have 6 year old as President. I hate the childish name calling. It belittles the office IMO.  His base may like it, but I don’t think it’s increasing the 46.1% of the vote he got last time.  Sadly, I just don’t think he can help himself.

Yes - I have posted the quote in other threads.....

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same,” he said. “The temperament is not that different.”

His lack of sophistication is what won Trump the White House.

From age 13 to 21 Donald Trump spent every summer on construction sites working with and learning from tradesmen every aspect of building towers. Trump’s father made sure that Donald worked hard those summers, so Donald comes by his common touch honestly from working and bantering with rough men. Even today Trump always stops to chat with everyday folks, doormen, shopkeepers, building maintenance, security people.

By poking fun at Trump’s lack of sophistication, people here seem to have disdain for working men and women, but Donald Trump does not. It was Trump’s ability to identify with working men and women, that common touch, that helped him win over the workers of the industrial Midwest.

Luckily, voters saw right through that lifeless bureaucrat Hillary and that’s why Trump is sitting in the Oval Office today.

I think I'm more offended by snobbery than I am by tweeting.

God I miss Reagan. You speak the truth. And talking about respecting the office, who at this point in office golfed more Obama or Trump?  Obama was at around 28 times, while Trump is over 50.  But his loyal supporters will say he deserves it because he works s hard.

What the hell does one's recreation choices have to do with anything?

Trump certainly works harder than Obama did.  Obama spent most of his time dreaming and puffing away in privacy.

I think golfing is a far better way to relax than watching reality television.

Facts are facts. As a teen Trump worked his summer breaks on his father’s construction sites.

But, you’re right, not all construction workers are louts. Most hold readings of Proust and Chaucer between their afternoon coffee break and the concrete pour.

That is offensive to me.

In my experience plenty of white collar people are louts as are people who read Proust and Chaucer.

Fake people are much worse the a rough around the edges construction worker.

It’s not a problem for me, in general. However, when it interferes with the job, that’s a problem. See pulling Obama off the back nine for the bin Laden raid as an example.  Also, there are plenty of great courses in the MD//VA/DC area. We should not be footing the bill for Trump’s travel and security for his weekly recreation.

   Can't argue with that @Emjay but of course I haven't tweeted 28 times previously (since 2012) about obummer not getting anything done because he was always busy golfing or his doing brackets for  March Madness and ESPN, avoiding doing anything for the Country he was president of.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Don’t know why, but something about it bothers me.  Not as much as the ukulele, though.  That’s the worst.

Totally.  I cannot stand fake people who place too much value on surface stuff and prestige.

I worked for a labor union for many years.  Good people.  Worker bees.

You counted?  Corbe, sweetie, you are seriously in need of a life.

The truth is that Obama was a do-nothing president.  And he did avoid doing anything for the country.  Nobody can name one positive thing that he did.

A blond hair blue eye obviously Scandinavian "Native American" deserves to be called 'Pocahontas'.


She is a liar and a thief. She lied and she stole a scholarship from a 'real' Native. Which was the whole intent.
