1. The way that the Trump family runs their businesses

is disgusting beyond belief. They should pay their bills but routinely get away with stiffing people. There is no accountability for their actions.

That aside, you would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to know that that stiffing contractors is a common Trump business practice. At this point, any contractor entering into a contract to do work for the Trump family/organization has to be flat out dumber than a sack of rocks. I kind of have a hard time feeling sorry for the idiot contractors. When will companies learn to stop doing business with the Trumps? A contract with a large dollar amount might look enticing but it does you no good if you can never collect the amount owed.

Just a note: I've seen several Native Americans say they're offended by "brokeahontas" CaptainTruth May 2019 #3

I agree - the hashtag is offensive n/t malaise May 2019 #5

I thought the hashtag was a play on the fact that he called Warren Pocahontas. Giving him demigoddess May 2019 #12

It is a jab on Native Americans. It is using the name of one of their revered figures pnwmom May 2019 #21

You say "give him some of his own medicine" as if it actually makes a difference. WhiskeyGrinder May 2019 #35

I'm a quarter Cherokee, so that note can take leap. sarcasmo May 2019 #8

Do you use that line when advocating for the Cherokee Nation too, or only to put down other WhiskeyGrinder May 2019 #11

Then take note of this: pnwmom May 2019 #23

The way Trump used it was decidedly bigoted, and what you posted only addresses that specifically RhodeIslandOne May 2019 #34

No, it doesn't mention Trump at all. It is written broadly enough that it would also apply pnwmom May 2019 #37

Trump and his minons were the only ones using the pejorative in 2016 and beyond.... RhodeIslandOne May 2019 #38

Here is the example: Brokeahontas, which some D's are using to target Trump. pnwmom May 2019 #39

Some have suggested #Brokeymon. Funtatlaguy May 2019 #9

I think Brokeymon may be offensive to Jamaicans. UniteFightBack May 2019 #27

Confusing. At first I thought it was a stab at Warren librechik May 2019 #10

Yes, I agree with you. People shouldn't use that offensive name... "broke asshole" will do just fine InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #31
