Trump tweet about Elizabeth Warren's run for president and a Stop It reply that is on point


@RuthHHopkins
Stop it. Pocahontas was just a girl when she was kidnapped, held hostage & raped by European invaders. Missing and murdered Indigenous women is an epidemic on this continent. It’s nothing to make light of. Your racism & misogyny isn’t funny.



@realdonaldtrump
Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as Pocahontas, joined the race for President. Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!

for Trump to sarcastically joke about the Trail of Tears?

PLEASE!

Ask every goddamned one of them, over and over, louder and louder, and don't shut up until they answer yes or no, or run away.

to call the orange, morbidly obese, industrial strength comb-over, fake billionaire on his childish name calling? He does it because his "base" (and they don't come any more base than these cretins) loves it when he calls Democrats disgusting names. Someone has to take this piece of crap to the woodshed and shut his repulsive, mammoth mouth. Trump doesn't like to be ridiculed, and doing it in public, in front of TV cameras and the nation, would really raise his hackles. Look how befuddled he became with a crack about the size of his hands! In a war of wits Trump is absolutely defenseless. He can't think on his feet. There is so much more to ridicule Trump about than all of the Democratic presidential hopefuls combined.

I hate getting down in the gutter with that vile asshole, but Democrats can't allow him to insult and demean them from now until election day 2020. It's time to give Trump a bigly taste of his own sleazy medicine.

NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! Hit him where it hurts......his galactic sized ego.

Warren fudged (fibbed would be a stronger word) about her Native American ancestry some 30 years ago. Yes, she really had a Native American ancestor -- ten generations back (about the time of the Revolutionary War or maybe earlier) -- and under the "one drop" rule used for racial classifications during the Jim Crow Era, yes, it would have been enough to deny her status as a white person. But at the time Warren did that, the question about her race served no useful purpose, had no legal force, and was merely a relic of Jim Crow days.

It's not as if she lied about how bigly her audience was, or claimed she had the best words, or that she knew more about military matters than all the generals, or any number of other things that someone else has lied about.
