  1. What about the guy the stadium is named for?
  2. All those are pretty damn creepy. Regardless, except as a fun “wouldn’t that be cool” story, talking about Trump becoming the president in 2023 through a myriad of improbable situations is silly.
  3. Y'all love ALL Things INDIAN? Be careful what you advertise... 1. Native Americans are more likely to need alcohol use treatment than persons of any other ethnic group, with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reporting 1 in 10 Native Americans are in need of such treatment. 2. Native American communities suffer from high rates of unemployment and over 20% of Native Americans live at or below the poverty level, a rate more than double that of Caucasians. Native Americans have below average rates of high school and college completion, with less than 1 in 5 earning a bachelor’s degree. The Native American population is also less likely to have health insurance and access to adequate medical care. Native Americans, characterized by poor education, poverty, and limited resources, likely contributes to the prevalent abuse of alcohol among this ethnic group.
  4. In the case of this subject and situation, I feel it would be grossly detrimental to the Republican Party and the country as a whole.
  5. Right or wrong? Wrong. Court packing could be legal too, but the wrong thing to do as well on either side.
  6. In no one’s dreams would this ever happen. I know you were just posing a “What if”, so let’s just leave it at that…
  7. No doubt there are probably reasons. Just wonder what they are and how are they justified.
  8. I’m not totally against it if there is an actual basis for revoking the citizenship, but what is the actual gain?
  9. Perhaps they should do a few things: 1. Quit doing the scalp ‘em thing. 2. Quit worrying about what the Chief du jour thinks if his arguments are baseless. If there is merit to his argument, then consider it and adjust accordingly. 3. Quit going to Disney.
  10. But! At least I never circled Uranus looking for Klingons…
  11. In Klingon, “tuq” means unbelievable. Don’t ask me why I know that.
  12. And for that reason, I do not accept the argument, because it is inconsistent and silly.
  13. That is also up for debate. Truth be known, they’d rather be known by their particular tribal designation. An excerpt from Native Times, a self-proclaimed Indian publication in April 2015: ”As an Indian newspaper we must be very careful that what we call ourselves is not dictated to us by the white media (Native Americans). We have been Indians for a few hundred years and the name carries our history. Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and Little Wound all called themselves "Indian" and they said it with pride. Should we dishonor them by saying they were wrong? Political correctness be damned: We will use "Indian" if and when we choose...”
  14. I would suggest that is a minority and would highly doubt that even the Indian leaders would call that “the way to handle it.”
  15. He asked the wrong question. His follow up should have been, “What is YOUR definition of a female.”
  16. It’s only offensive if you’re not given explicit permission or if you’re not of American Indian descent. Kind of like another word that is used by some but not allowed by others and begins with an N. Either get rid of it altogether or don’t complain that it still lives.
