That’s a great one.
You are both right, and wrong.
You are right in that many "Indians" spoke English, French, and their native tongue. Some, (Comanche and Apache for two) also spoke Spanish.
You are wrong in that my post is very ignorent. It is not even a little ignorent. I speak of times before the pale skins came to the land of the people and took the buffalo without permission.
During that time, they did not "count coup." They did not "count coup" because they didn't speak French or English. The did what they did and called it with the red man's words.
This is science and is not in dispute. To argue against me is the very definition of ignorent.
I would urge you against such folly.

Here is the Flathead tongue we speak.
>> people will deny they were ever Democrats.
Nope. They will spin and lie. When I confront current democrats about their history with slavery and civil rights, they either deny it or they tell me “the parties switched” WTH? They seriously believe this crap.
“The parties switched”. Translation: All the horrible crap we’ve done, we’re blaming on you. Because it’s convenient for us to do that. We take no responsibility whatsoever for our actions. We are living in a delusional world.
You lost ‘em at Morlock. Or maybe it was at Republic?
Depends ... variety and how it's processed etc.
Indeed, the Bag abides.
Sounds pretty demeaning to Indians. Im half cherokee, and proud of it. Im also proud of this country and realize what happened, happens. No need to degrade us.
I degraded Indians? How so, goodman?
Please explain.

Of course not. But the time that's been referenced the French had already been there so the point is moot. When english speaking Americans showed up they had been speaking French for awhile. So the 'in historia tempus', the Plains Indians knew French. Even to Lewis and Clark era.
Did they even call themselves Flatheads?
Who knows, other Indians probably did.
Do not learn your history from movies. Learn it from me.
Read the book on Johnson, would learn it from you if you had the gouge.
Tester
Related to Presidents Trumps tweets on Sen Jon Tester, a dem from Montana. Testers nephew, Bob Tester, was killed in September 16 via ax murder at his home. He had an 8 year old daughter with him at the time, no indication if he was married. Someone was arrested in Jan 17 for the murder. The accused, 22yo, stated that the 35yo Tester had sexually assaulted his 17yo girlfriend. Evidently, Bob Tester grew marijuana and liked younger girls. Heres a rabbit hole:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a postscript, Sen Jon Tester is a real piece of work. Anti-corruption, pro-transparency according to his campaign materials. An anti-lobbyist who takes considerable amounts of money from lobbyists. He also took money from Bob Menendez, whose infamous graft recently earned him a letter of admonishment from his colleagues.
If you want a laugh or cry, check out the Senate Committee on Ethics:

and maybe what Trump knows about Jon Tester and Haiti
TESTER ATTACKED THE Dr. Nominated for VA, Trump attacked Tester and said sick- what does the President know? Neon Revolt has found some clues:
Hmmmm....
As in:
--forever first MALE FLOTUS IN A DRESS?

--forever trashing the Constitution?
--forever whining?
--forever denying responsibility?

Merci beau-coup--merci buck-up I can see this is heading down hill fast. Brace yourselves folks. Circle the wagons against a flood of coup clap-trap.
Hey man white shirts and ties with bicycles can be pretty intimidating.
Agreeing prayer. AMEN.
Faraday cages are not the total solution, but Dr. Pry (who has studied the problem for a long time) did indicated they are a major part.
I’m sure there are some massive surge protectors etc.
Come to think of it, he did not specify where the Faraday cages were needed. Maybe they are for other parts of the infrastructure. At some point I’ll find time to actually read the committees’s report.
I think he was just joshing.... Check with him, but IMHO he was joking, and not being disrespectful. Of course natives did not speak European languages until the Europeans got here, was the meaning I took from it.
