That picture is a hoot. There’s not a kissable face in the whole bunch.
Kind of like ugly lesbians worried about abortion rights. Really, there isn’t a problem!
So am I. My grandfather left the reservation in 1933.
I’m unsure of her point re: race.
It’s OK to tax white people because non-whites make bad choices?
It drives me to drive to Texas to buy whisky
Indians voted a Republican 90%.
Most conservative voting block outside of Orthodox Jews.
My Apache wife made me a Republican.
.
Good lesson for us all. I saw all those articles about alcohol and cancer. That's the next thing the libs are into. I'm going to have a glass of wine! So there!
I’m Navajo.
Trump and Republicans made great strides in getting more Navajos to vote Republican this election cycle here on the reservation.
Apaches are our brother tribe.
The ones I’ve met in Oklahoma were Democrats. Thanks for enlightening me.
I don’t drink any alcohol, but if I live there, I would buy a beer. Just in spite.
Up next she will complain there aren’t enough taxe dollars coming in to fund children’s programs. Just like cigarette taxes drying up.
For clarity, I am not Apache. I am just a third generation Ruidoso (home of Mescalero) so about 1/2 (probably more) of my extended family is Apache. Wife, uncles, aunts, cousins, in-laws etc. Plus my two best friends since age 2, one of whom has been my brother in law for 30 years come August.
I have, however, gotten pretty good at speaking Chiricahua because I’ve had to help all my kids with lessons. Lol.
Going to piss off all them drinking injuns.
The two languages are related so we could probably trade a few words. 😁
Don’t touch our liquor lips, ...
But do you have some other lips???
The American Indian vote was Democrat supporting in the last century, with counties in eastern Oklahoma with 10% or more native population responsible for putting these counties into the Democratic column. That has changed in this century; in 2024, every single county in the Sooner State was carried by Trump. Cherokee County, where American Indians represent 32% of the population, was won by Trump by a 2:1 margin. At least in Oklahoma, this vote has largely shifted to the GOP.
It’s really handy to talk as a family in public because literally no one understands it outside of the reservation.
All the profanity is the same. I run drilling crews that are heavy on Plains Indians of different kinds and they get shocked when a 6’6” white guy with red hair responds to their BS.
Sin taxes are amazingly regressive—really stick it to poor people who lack political clout.
They are just cruel.
Thank you that is good to know.
