This thread illustrates the difference between 7 year olds and adults.

Seven year olds are cruel, don't know facts and love to call people names.

Adults look at evidence, statements, outcomes, etc. and use them to shape a mature worldview.

I had to teach my 8 year old Granddaughter about this recently - she is WAY more mature than many of the posters in this thread. I told her "just because someone is older doesn't mean they act like an adult".

Thanks for more proof of the matter!

Pocahontas was the first female NA name that came into Trump's mind.

He needed to continue looking.
The moniker "Fauxcahontas" for Elizabeth Warren was coined in 2012 when the questions re her heritage gained a significant head of steam in the media, and that moniker was part of that coverage.

A writer for Mashable wrote an article in 2017 about Trump calling her Pocahontas.

The earliest evidence that writer found of Trump using Pocahontas re the Senator from Mass. was a re-Tweet Trump sent in 2014.

I understand you think you are insulting Warren. But you really are being very demeaning and insulting to Pocahontas. Find another insult for Warren.
I agree, totally unfair to the real Pocahontas. She was a smart and strong woman unlike the socialist swine Elizabeth Warren.

IIRC, she did attend an NA gathering and apologized. They accepted her apology. She did say she would work on their issues.

Must a congressperson work only on issues regarding their direct relationships?
She used her fake Indian heritage to get hired at the University of Pennsylvania.

She is duly elected and would probably get re-elected. Same with our Republican Governor. History will record her as a US Senator that fought for many issues "for the people". No matter how much feces you throw, that won't be but a footnote to her life and career.....

Now...the Trump tapes...they will live in infamy. But I'll bet you don't dismiss every single thing Trump does because he is a liar, cheat, bully, etc. - am I right?

I can understand that, but do you think the same about those who wrongly apply 'Uncle Tom.' In the book Uncle Tom's Cabin, Uncle Tom was a heroic figure, not some kind of suck-up or sell-out.

Don’t commit crimes, don’t get incarcerated. Simple.
