Katie Herzog,
You perpetuate evil with your lies.
Elizabeth Warren would have made an excellent president.
You are not stupid, so you must be wicked. You are a socialist but what any "good" socialist wants is to control other people all in the name of serving and protecting.

I have to say, it was an extremely entertaining read once I got past that first line!
Honestly, reading this, you could hear the Leftist gnashing of teeth, the tears of anger and frustration, the infantile pouting, all of it that was so delicious to see and hear at the deflated Hillary rallies minutes, hours, and days after the election was won by Trump!
I am not kidding. I am going to bookmark this article as a demonstration of just how utterly delusional the rank and file of the committed Left are. Granted, this is from Portland, OR, where Leftist protesters bring their young children to Leftist demonstrations and crap on police cars in front of them, but it is still worth reading! Check out these last few paragraphs:
"...Should that really be enough to cost her the presidency of the United States? She didn't say that she grabs women by the pussy. She didn't order children to be separated from their parents. She didn't cozy up to authoritarians or abandon our allies both here and abroad. And she, unlike some people, hasnt repeatedly fought against tribal interests. And yet, she will not be our next president. Why? Because the left requires a level of purity that the right just does not. Republicans can get over huge character flaws and bad policy positions to rally around a candidate. The left will stay home if their ideal candidate isnt on the ballotor, in this case, the candidate isn't quite pure enough.
This is a shame, because Elizabeth Warrens policy positions would actually help the citizens and residents of this country. She's a solid progressiveand not the totalitarian kind. In the long term, shes in favor of Medicare for All. In the short term, shes in favor of upholding the Affordable Care Act as well as holding health insurance and pharmaceutical companies accountable for rising health care prices. Shes endorsed a Green New Deal and rebuilding our infrastructure, both of which will create middle-class jobs. Shes for restoring tax rates on the richest Americans to pre-Trump levels and using that revenue to tackle the student loan crisis.
She supports labor movements and renewable energy and ending subsidies for fossil fuels. She's in favor of campaign finance reform and comprehensive immigration reform and using federal regulations like Glass-Steagall to reduce the risk of financial collapse in the future. She's also for criminal justice reform, sensible gun laws, and the legalization of cannabis. She's not a pie-in-the-sky promise-maker with no plans to pay for her it. She's the real deal, and because of this one misstepbecause she believed what her family told hershe is unlikely to ever be president.
If you need an example of double standards in American politics, the fact that Elizabeth Warren is likely unelectable and Donald Trump isn't? Look no further than this..."
I really enjoyed this...it was the literary equivalent of a Leftist lying on her back, repeatedly kicking the solid earth with her fisted hands and heels, and tearfully screaming at the moon above!
Particularly I loved her assertion that the Left requires "...a level of purity that the right just does not..." I don't care who you are, but you GOTTA love that one!
I loved this.

Let me repeat that for you: Claims of Native American heritage has no bearing in Warren’s appointment at Harvard or anywhere else. While there is no reason to doubt the veracity of the Globe’s reporting (and if you think dozens of lawyers would lie on the record to save a colleague’s reputation, you don’t know dozens of lawyers), many of Warren’s critics have pointed out that Harvard used her self-identified Native status to promote itself as diverse. This was clearly unwise, if not willfully dishonest, on the school’s part...
—
According to this idiot author, you can trust Harvard’s claim that Warren checking off the box she was Native American played no role in her hiring, even though Harvard is also dishonest.
The author also fails to dig into the more basic question as to why Warren would check off the box.

“Not because she doesn’t deserve it (she does), but because of her one glaring misstep...I’m talking, of course, about her claims of Native American ancestry”
It wasn’t a ‘misstep’, it is what LAUNCHED HER. Without it, she’d just be another whining bitch, like the ones that were seen crying on election night 2 years ago. That’s why she’s being held accountable.
But note how the Fake News types are saying it was just a ‘misstep’ - trying to downplay it, like forgetting to include a traffic ticket, when asked if she’d ever broken the law (and got caught).
Instead, it’s more like forgetting to include a digit when reporting income to the IRS, such as saying that you earned $126,075, when you really earned $1,260,758. That’s a similar ‘misstep’ - just one digit, but how do you think the IRS would treat it?

DId she gain admission to school, receive preferences for being native american? If the answer is yes, she is dead in the water with a sinking canoe and no paddles.

You gotta read it! It is the text based equivalent of watching the post-election videos of the Left on election night!

So you didn’t get to the part about the “Spray tanned ogre in the oval office”
I burst out laughing at that point.
To: Trump.Deplorable
usually, I find him tiresome, but I agree with you. That comment was funny.

To: RoosterRedux
I had to laugh, her "one little mistake" they whine about reminded me of this classic joke:
A backpacker is traveling through Scotland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Scottish accent:
"You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No."
He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No."
"Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No."
"But ya screw just one goat.."

It is kind of difficult sometimes to tell the difference between leftist men and leftist women.
In some cases, that is exactly what they are aiming for.

Warren didn’t make a mistake.
She LIED to get a high paying job in the circus of academia and to drum up support as a ‘minority’ among self-loathing whites. She committed fraud. The university would be justified in suing her for it, and the Feds should be going after the university for lying on its minority hiring report - which it would if the university were remotely conservative.
