"Just met Thomas Begay who was "puzzled" but not offended by Trump's Pocahontas quip: "The Marines made us yell 'Geronimo' when we jumped out of planes + that didn't offend me either."

Towards the end of the event, one of the code talkers said to Trump, while shaking his hand, "Mr. President, we know you will succeed. America is in good hands. You have all Trump marine core generals as your assistants---so we know that we are in good hands!"

So he wasn't offended because he didn't know what the fuck Trump was talking about. That is not really a good selling point.

Everyone in America could learn from this quote, "The Marines made us yell 'Geronimo' when we jumped out of planes + that didn't offend me either."

If something might offend you, try just ignoring it and moving on with life instead.

Native Americans groups have come out and said complained about Trumps.

The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was quick to condemn Mr. Trump for using a slur against Warren that overshadowed the intent of the ceremony.

"We regret that the President's use of the name Pocahontas as a slur to insult a political adversary is overshadowing the true purpose of today's White House ceremony," stated NCAI President Jefferson Keel, a decorated U.S. Army officer and Vietnam War combat veteran. "Today was about recognizing the remarkable courage and invaluable contributions of our Native code talkers. That's who we honor today and everyday -- the three code talkers present at the White House representing the 10 other elderly living code talkers who were unable to join them, and the hundreds of other code talkers from the Cherokee, Choctaw, Comanche, Lakota, Meskwaki, Mohawk, Navajo, Tlingit, and other tribes who served during World Wars I and II."

This. It was the principal that pissed me off.

On topic: Not that I care but Russell Begaye came out and commented on it so you're wrong Capn.

/topic.

Edit: my fault, I didn't notice the topic was about one specific code talker so disregard my statement.

And none of it would have been covered by the media.

Do you think any of us would be hearing about this otherwise? I would, and maybe I'd share with CE, too--but the general population wouldn't know about it. Maybe a little blip and they'd make him look stupid somehow.

Nowhere in this reality would the mainstream press have said, "Trump hosted Navajo code talkers and it was a great event, the code talkers supported the president, said America is in good hands, and Trump is going to help them build a museum."

Well, one of them smiled when he said it and the one in the wheelchair at the very end of the event raised up his hands and gave two thumbs up. You be the judge.

It was locked by a mod because that's their new trend or something. Instead of modding triggered disruptions they just lock non TOS breaking topics. Or at least @Alucard188 does, since he mentioned locking a topic just the other day.

Lol, yep. On the other hand, TC was getting eviscerated by everyone, guess the rest of the cultists were sleeping. Guess it's no wonder he wanted to close it. Starting a new one though... That's just masochism. Or maybe he really is on a payroll, lmao.


I had no reason to lock the topic. Like I said multiple times already I didn't lock it. Alucad mentioned locking an Admiral topic (I think) because it was essentially a bunch of triggered people flaming TC instead of contributing to the discussion.

I don't like the new trend. Either delete topics/posts because they violate the TOS or don't mess with it.
