The New Birtherism: Featherism
Tea Party parrot Scott Brown, the former Senator from Massachusetts who got his electoral rump handed to him by Elizabeth Warren – she beat him by 8 points, is now running to be Donald Trump’s Veep selection.
Brown has decided to take a move from Trump’s birtherism playbook.
Brown is demanding that Warren take a DNA test to prove that she is part American Indian.
Dude, she registered the website Pocahontas.com just to jack with your puppet master. She was born in Oklahoma, you idiot, most everybody in Oklahoma is at least 1/32nd Native American.
Remember, after Warren beat him in 2012, Brown went to New Hampshire and ran against Jeanne Shaheen, where is also got beat.
Okay, read this word in Donald Trump’s voice: Looooser.
Hell, we don’t want a DNA test from him. We want an IQ test.
I don’t want an IQ test from Brown. I want a DNA test in order to determine what percent of him is monkey.
That would be the best part of him since the rest is Repub.
1Is this part of Trump’s outreach to the LGBT community? By the way, Playgirl called. They want you to take them off your resume.
2This dufus deserves a Christian burial. He has already inscribed his tombstone: “available”
First Massachusetts, then New Hampshire, now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the ‘highlight’ of his resume being, “I’m available.”
Just when we thought Donnie Drumpf falling out of the Klown Kar to become the presumptive nominee for the snacilbupeR was the bottom, round two in the race to the bottom begins with people too st00pid to be humiliated seeking the number two spot.
Huckajeebus, the Outlaw Jersey Whale, $carah and 3 Scooters (Brown, Rick Scott, & Walker). Next to rise from the dead, Snarly Failurina. Coming soon the snacilbupeR convention, Zombie watch.
3What the heck, anybody associated with the Trump campaign is going to go down in flames and not recover. No one with a brain or a possible future would apply for the job.
4Almost out of words for snark on this one.
The litmus test for Conservativism is:
51. You hate Liberals more then the Devil.
2. You hate Obama more then Liberals
3. You hate Government more than your mother-in-law.
4. You love Jesus more than your Social Security check.
And I got a lot of snickering out of George Will’s desertion of the Republican party because of Trump. I agree with Will maybe once in ten years, but this shows he’s got some sanity and integrity.
6The problem with George Will’s defection is that it comes WAY too late and with WAY less impact than it could have had. But like all good conservatives, George rode his advantage for as long as he possibly could. He might have been able to ride it longer, but he risked realizing just how incredibly toxic Donnie Dumbass actually is and might end up losing more than he already has.
7I don’t think we can measure Scott Brown’s IQ; the tests don’t go that low.
8So Brown has proved one thing beyond all reasonable doubt: he just don’t know when to stop beating that dead horse, do he?
I guess that explains why he wants to be Trump’s veep, too.
9If you asked Scott Brown his IQ, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’d answer proudly, 20/20!
10Sen. Nudie would be a perfect VP choice. Every clown needs a warmup comedian to fluff the crowd.
11DNA? The man has more chromosomes than he has IQ points.
12My daughters had a shirt one time that said “Girls Rule” Maybe they still have it. I had a wife, two daughters and a female dog. I am well trained.
13My gawd, what else would anyone expect from somebody who once had a staple in his middle! At least I think it was his middle.
14NO, NO, NO!!! Do this Elizabeth. Get the proof. On paper! Then take that paper and shove it so far up Scott’s butt he can taste it! And save a couple pages for Trumps butt. Then scalp the bastards. YEAH!
15If she and Clinton run, it will give new meaning to the words,”Commander and Chief”. Commander Clinton and Chief Warren
16Henry Louis Gates has a wonderful PBS show where he explores the ancestry of Americans. He uses historic documents, DNA testing, etc. I think Gates would love to have Warren on his show. And it would make for great television!
17Rhea:
Loved Will’s response to Trump’s predictable twitter puke attack:
He can fit all his knowledge of a topic in 144 characters; I can’t do that [paraphrased].
18Warren’s DNA has absolutely nothing to do with running the country. It just slays me that these yahoos keep going off on the weird, meaningless tangents to which they want to attach some sort of bizarre, sneaky meaning. It just gets stranger and stranger.
19Well, shoot. I didn’t see that coming.
Slightly off thread here, please forgive.
I popped over to Facebook and couldn’t believe my eyes. The Bernie die-hards are dissing Warren! They’re calling her a turncoat and worse — because she is daring to appear onstage with Clinton and is likely to be her veep.
The sore losers are at it again.
I was a Bernie supporter — right up until HE DIDN’T GET THE VOTES TO SECURE THE NOMINATION. He needs to bring his dogs to heel before they pull a Brexit — only with Trump as the outcome.
Note to Bernie Bros: the way to send a message is with petitions, with marching in the streets, with phone calls. It is NOT with the ballot box!
The Brexit-regret folks are unlikely to get a do-over this fall and neither will those of you who vote “Bernie Anyway” in November.
20You only get one chance every 4 years to save the country. Don’t waste it.
Remember G. Will’s wife supported Ted Cruz, so he didn’t learn much. Or they don’t talk.
21PKM, may I make one, slight editorial suggestion? You referred to Scumpf as the “presumptive nominee.” I think for the sake of greater accuracy, that needs to be the “presumptious nominee.” (I really hope I spelled that right. How embarrassing if I didn’t.)
two crows, the Bernie followers are switching over to Hillary faster than her people moved to Obama in 2008. It’s looking good. Still, there’s nothing to wait for.
Bernie lost some of my respect based on the way he’s behaved since he began losing. Blaming the system, undermining the Democratic Party, etc. C’mon Bernie. Man up and wholeheartedly endorse Hillary NOW!
22Scumpf will pick someone happy to be his lapdog, fawning and cooing from his spot in the dim, far corner of the campaign, such as it is. Scumpf could never tolerate anyone who might edge even slightly into his limelight. (That’s my Theory of the Moment.)
I can’t see $carah doing that, but Gov. Cartman has already ably demonstrated his willingness to endure abject humiliation. I give the nod to him.
23According to the article, Scott Brown said:
“She has no Native American background except for what her family told her.”
I would say that if your family tells you that you are part Native American, then that is a good reason for thinking that you are.
And since Warren is 67, her family probably told her this long before DNA testing was available. Or DNA was even discovered (I think).
24Brown would make a great running mate for Donny Drumpf. He has lots of experience losing to GIRRRLLLLSSSS.
251toughlady, there are these things called “imaginary numbers.”

26All these comments got me thinking: what is the Vegas line on VP selections about now? Just curious who they think Trump is looking at. I guess I could just call Sheldon but he can be so unpleasant. Anybody heard?
27Mark: Not Vegas, but will Virginia do? Tim Kaine is one of the most congenial and compatible people on Planet E. He has done hard work in another country, learning and getting along and helping the people. He also speaks fluent Spanish which will be an enormous help. Just by being a “mature he”, old white men just might switch their vote from the macabre to the healthy version of humanity. I had thought of young Castro. He has experience as the head of an executive department. However, he plainly said he wasn’t ready yet. As for Liz, I can taste something good every time I think of her as the first female Senate Majority Leader. She makes McTurtle look palid and ossified.
28PKM … to go with your assertion that he is “available” … it’s sing along time with Margie Rayburn [1957] “I’m Available” …

29maggie, McConnell looks pallid and ossified all by himself. And a few other adjectives Mama wouldn’t like.
30Marcia in Co, thanks. That’s great. Maybe FlowGo can use the “I’m Available” ditty to parody the potential Drumpf veep low self esteem hangars-on. Hope FlowGo updates their Hillary2008 to reflect the shellacking she’ll give Drumpf. Yep. That line about “keeping Bin Laden pussy whipped” still works. Hilz was SoS when Bin Bozo was nabbed. When the gloves come off after the conventions, expect Hilz and her posse to do similar or worse to Drumpf. She and Sen Warren are “merely” firing warning shots across his bow at present. Can’t wait until the salvo surge begins.

Debbo, “presumptuous nominee” works, as does promiscuous nominee. Or, to borrow from BilgeO, pinhead nominee. Keeping it NY, putz works, too.
31Mark Schlemmer, lost you for a moment with “Sheldon” … thought you’d gone O/T with The Big Bang Theory. As we ‘affectionately’ call him, Adelson is known as Shelly in NV, plus a few other names that don’t pass the Mama test.
Vegas is way south of us, so I can’t easily sneak pictures of their ‘off-track’ betting that would include politics. Those sports books claim they’re all about sports. https://www.vegas.com/gaming/sportsline/
Most of the “open” action on politics is off-shore, and behind by 3-4 weeks with google search. My Bookie.ag is going with Tom Brady, 7-2.

32@JAKvirginia#15- before you shove it you’re supposed to fold the paper so it’s all corners.
33maggie – while I agree that Tim Kaine is a very likable person, my experience with him as governor was that he was a bit too centrist for this Progressive/Liberal. Given that Hillary is not the most progressive Democrat ever to run as President I’m not sure that two “middle-of-the-roaders” can gin up the enthusiasm needed to bring out the lefties, the young and the undecideds in droves. We will need all of them to both ensure that the Democrats win the White House AND have a strong showing in the down-ballot races. A Democratic president facing a Republican majority House and Senate will not be able to accomplish the tasks facing the nation.
34Other than that concern, Tim Kaine would probably be a very good Veep.
I nominate courageous Rep. John Lewis, with his life experience of fighting for civil rights and his long governmental experience just might spotlight what this election is all about. At age 76, he is no spring chicken, but at least for 4 years could give this country his honor and intelligence.
35Bob, I thought about Tim with the rolled up shirt sleeves just about leaping into a crowd to press the flesh as contrasted to Hair Dump who has a real phobia about all that. I also don’t think Dump is going to pick a veep that is all that different from him in flesh pressing. Tim is a happy warrior. e laughs a lot and really, really enjoys his life. I just don’t see that on the R side at all.
36Is there a wuss DNA test?
37If not, there should be one named the Scott test.
Even I’m 1/32nd Cherokee. And the Cherokee don’t require a certain percentage to identify as Cherokee, as some tribes do.
38l’angelomisterioso: Thanks! I did not know that. I still use the old “crush and shove” method. Always good to learn something new.
39Isn’t he the princely little thing that boasted he was qualified because he was close to European royalty?
401/16 Dacotah or Santee. We’re the ones Lincoln only hung 38 of in Minnesota. Could have been a gallows for more than 300, so I guess 38 is an improvement.
41Oh, PKM ,thanks for the correct spelling: “presumptuous”
42To Two Crows:
I’m a 66-year old female Bernie supporter and believe in the greater wisdom of his refusal to step aside before the convention. His true supporters are listening to his message and mobilizing on behalf of down-ticket candidates who share our interest in bringing the progressive wing of the Democratic party forward.
You speak of ‘Bernie Bros,’ but I honestly have never encountered any outside of the occasional anonymous presence on the internet and lots and lots of complaints about them from Clinton supporters.
I’ve been a Bernie supporter for thirty-some years now and have learned to trust his instincts.
Those instincts do not include duplicity or dirty tricks.
If not in an election like this, when is the ‘right’ time to hold the party’s feet to the fire? Or perhaps you think the Democratic party is perfectly positioned without change? If so, you are in for a populist shock-wave.
