The next time drumpf calls Warren Pocahontas, she needs to loudly answer him

[mfcorey1]

by calling him SCROTUS. Seems childish? That is what you are dealing with and he gets away with insults because he knows that we will not respond. Respond dammit! Shut him down on what he understands. Feeding an idiot an intellectual argument is a waste of words. Resist and fight back!

[BSdetect]

1. Yes, see does.

And she will I'm sure

[Squinch]

2. No. I'm usually not one for the "take the higher ground" tack, but not this. I get what you are

saying, and I think better minds than mine will be able to come up with a way to do it, but this isn't it.

[GoCubsGo]

4. A good eye roll and disgusted head-shake should suffice.

All the Dems need to perfect that "Whatever, you fucking moron" reaction.

[Squinch]

6. No. A statement. A branding of some sort that will catch on. It has to convey respect for

the office but total disdain for the imbecile who stole it.

I think in the past the eyeroll and head shake would have worked, but you can't spread that around on twitter.

Sadly, that is our reality these days.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Eh. Let him keep digging.

Putting out a statement or meme just shows you're bothered by the name-calling. The more you react, the more the bully keeps it up. Besides, everyone knows he's a ninny. He'll likely be more pissed off that his antics are being ignored, and he'll just dig himself in deeper.

[Squinch]

13. I agree with some of what you say but not other parts. He WOULD be pissed off if he

was ignored. If it were just Trump, that would be EXACTLY the way to deal with him.

But something like 48% of the electorate is so freaking stupid that they actually DON'T know that he's a ninny.

Believe me, I truly believed ignoring their obvious assholery was the way to go till recently.

But this election has convinced me that the world runs on slogans now, and we need to get with the program. If we are going to get any of that 48%, we have to knock them over the head, ceaselessly, with small words.

[GoCubsGo]

16. True, but that 48% is probably oblivious to the lates "Pocohantas" incident.

They are also oblivious to what is about to happen to their Medicare, Social Security, and a whole bunch of other things if he gets his way. The "Pocohantas" thing is just another shiny object to try to distract us from everything he and his flying monkeys are doing. Let it go, and concentrate on the important stuff, because there's a hell of a lot more of it.

[Squinch]

17. Yes, that I agree with completely. And I really want to know why we are not slamming

the media with information about SS and Medicare. We absolutely have the popular position there, and we are not saying anything.

I shouldn't be able to turn on the TV without seeing ads that push people to call Republicans and tell them to lay off SS and Medicare.

[Tanuki]

3. I would respond by calling him a despicable racist scumbag whose mockery of the Trail of Tears

and the genocidal dislocation of Warren's Cherokee ancestors from the southeastern U.S. to her own native Oklahoma is amplified by his choice to hang a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. I'll call him SCROTUS on other days, for other reasons.

[Squinch]

7. Didn't they find, though, that she doesn't have native blood and that it was a family

story?

I fault her not at all for that. My mother's family believed for three generations that they were French. I just had my DNA done and there is not a lick of French in there.

On a total other note, I used your Dolt45 name, and attributed it to you. It's genius.

[Tanuki]

12. Squinch, I did not originate Dolt45....I love it too but deserve no credit!

As far as I know, Warren is not an enrolled member of either of the tribes (Cherokee and Delaware) from whom her family tradition tells her she is descended. That is not uncommon, but "absence of proof is not proof of absence." Records from the past are not always conclusive, and once tribal members married into the majority population there was often pressure to assimilate as seamlessly as possible. She believes her family. Trump (and Scott Brown before him) claim that she portrayed herself as Native American to qualify for affirmative action in admission and/or hiring, something she has vehemently denied.

[Squinch]

14. Oh! I had thought that it was some conclusive information that she wasn't. Good to know.

And, OK, maybe you didn't originate Dolt45, but it was a gift you gave to me and others, so I thank you for it!

[J_William_Ryan]

5. Disagree.

Acting like a petulant child in the manner of Trump is not the answer.

True, responding to the likes of Trump and others on the reprehensible right with facts, reason, and the truth is often pointless, but it’s our only appropriate recourse.

[GoCubsGo]

11. Yes. This.

Sen. Warren has kids and grandkids. She knows how to deal with toddlers, and she will handle the orange man-toddler appropriately.

[Sherman A1]

8. I would hope that she continues to focus on the facts and issues

getting into a name calling exchange will do no one any good. As Truman said "I just tell the Truth and the Republicans think it's Hell" or something like that.

[lastlib]

9. Here's what I would say:

"Donny {he HATES to be called that} can you count the letters in 'Pocohontas' on your little fingers?"

and then drop it. Until he does it again.

[NCTraveler]

15. Trust fund baby. Nt

[Paladin]

18. Democrats who were present at this latest occurence need to be identified and dealt with.

We are way past the time where our party's representatives can just sit around when these sorts of personal insults are spewed. The Democrats at that meeting should have silently arisen and vacated the room. I want their names so I can contact their offices and give them a good ass-chewing. Enough of this shit.

[GeorgeGist]

19. Why agree with him ...

That Pocahontas is an insult?

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. I agree. Stand up to the thin-skinned bully. Constantly let him be publicly humiliated. He deserv

to be.

[Cha]

21. I would say "Thank you. Pocahontas is a beautiful name..

reminds me of my ancestry."

[leftyladyfrommo]

22. It's like him calling Hillary Crooked Hillary

all the time.

It really pisses me off . Democrats should start calling him Stupid Trump all the time.
