Almost 20 years ago I was watching tv with my 93 year old grandma and a dark actor was on (maybe Indian from India) and she just came out with “I hate Indians. I am one but I hate them.” I said, “Why is that Nanny?” She answered, “I just do.” It went on like that but I couldn’t get anything definitive out of her. Being raised in rural Oklahoma in the early 1900’s, I think it was just that they all hated the “dirty Indians” along with the blacks (dirty N-words) and Mexicans (“dirty s-words). These are all good Baptists also.
The existence of Native Americans reminds them of the atrocities committed against First Nations throughout the history of the United States. It “offends their sensibilities” to be faced with living representation of the crimes this country is based upon.
The term fetus refers to a woman’s “baby” before it is born. Calling it a baby is a prize to the pro-lifers. Language matters. I LOVE YOUR WORK! Thank you
Maybe it's because they can't accuse the Indigenous people of being "immigrants" and know that the Indigenous people are the "real" Americans (and Canadians for that matter) and that they, themselves are the immigrants. Ergo, they can't use that argument against them. Another thing is that the immigrants abused and wiped out most of the Indigenous population when they invaded North America and are the ones responsible for the sad state the Indigenous people find themselves in today.
That explains a lot, my dear, because he’s not avoiding the campaign trail because he might be shot at again -he’s avoiding it because he’s falling apart at the seams

The racism is deep and wide in this country.

“Them” being republicans/conservatives.
I’m right there with President Harris for it too! Let’s obliterate the GOP!!! Can’t think of a more deserving organization.

You did not mention this, but I wonder if it is because he is afraid of getting shot again…
A possibility but he also wasn't campaigning much before the assasination attempt. The press ignored that, too.

Exactly! Bullies are always guilty cowards

My only question is how come Trump smiles only for pictures?
Because he only knows how to mimic human emotion. He doesn't actually experience joy.
I think most of his publicity photos are Photoshop
He doesn’t show emotion and he never really laughs. That is a hallmark sign of a psychopath. It’s called a shallow affect.
The Gray Old Lady is dead.
Used to say f*** t rump. Well now it’s f*** NYT.
I want to get to the transcript, but you refer to a picture. What picture. Give me an url not a cryptic clue.
I never use the app. I get everything by email
From there I click on ❤️ or at least “comment” which takes me to the website comments page.
Then at the top of that page you can click on the “listen ->” (in red) link.
That will take you to the web page where you can listen to the podcast. It starts with a picture “On Air”
Right underneath that picture is the word “transcript” in small letters!
Enjoy.
Thanks! I'll give that a try.
Please give me the web address. Old person here, can't figure it out how to find it. Thanks!
look above the picture, where it says "transcript"
it took me a minute to find it
Sorry, there's no URL for the transcript. Substack doesn't work that way. If you're on the app, you just can't get to it. -_-
You need to go to the substack website and you can see the link to the transcript on the podcast page. It's annoying. Sorry.
Let us dreg the swamps , that’s where slime balls go to hide .
