    I like income taxes. It makes me feel like I am getting away with something and being a total player when I slide the mechanic cash just to see my bill suddenly drop significantly in the process when I tell him I don't need a receipt because if anybody asks I was never here.

    Yep. There are some garages that will charge you $500 to tell you what is wrong with your vehicle before they fix a darn thing. It is why I prefer garages with gravel parking lots, hand-painted signs, and lots of cigarette butts strewn about the entrance.

    My first mechanic left to go work on some Indy car team and my second mechanic keeled over, so my current mechanic I found by asking around old men with lots of old cars who is good and cheap.

    Don't worry about Hoosier8 and the comment.

    Warren thought she had Indian roots. The RNC trolled her because she ran as a MINORITY. Yet all women are MINORITIES.

    You can't mention her today without the trolls bringing up that she thought she had Indian heritage. Because they don't want to discuss her topics, they want to troll.

    She is STILL a Minority no matter what they say. They can't troll away the discussion.

    Yea, but we all saw Obama fight the Military Industrial Complex. When he stood up to them and didn't go to war with Syria, it was pretty big. There was lot's of pressure to go to war with Syria. Notice the RNC doesn't mention that anymore, they just repeat when they are told to repeat.

    She passed herself off as a Native American. Is that not true?

    Endorsing Hillary is the just latest sign that Warren is a fraud
    By Seth Mandel June 9, 2016

    American politics may have no bigger fraud than Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren.

    So I got a good chuckle from Politico’s Thursday story saying the Massachusetts Democratic senator had called Donald Trump, among other grade-school taunts, a fraud.

    I don’t know whether Warren fancies herself the pot or the kettle in this one, but she’s definitely a hypocrite.

    In fact, while she was preparing to call Trump a fraud, her advisers were leaking to every major press outlet they could find that she was finally going to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, now that she has secured the necessary delegates. What a profile in courage.

    Endorsing Hillary could be the most fraudulent act of Warren’s brief political career, since Warren is a less compelling version of Bernie Sanders on economics and even once boasted she essentially “created” Occupy Wall Street.

    But there’s stiff competition.

    Start with that Fauxcahontas moniker. She earned it during her 2012 Senate campaign against Scott Brown after it came to light she’d claimed to be 1/32 Cherokee decades ago when seeking a Harvard Law faculty position.

    She wasn’t able to back up the claim. “These are my family stories,” she said. As a wealthy white woman, her gaming of the affirmative-action system also made a mockery of race-based hiring and the left’s supposed commitment to “diversity.”

    And wait — how did she become wealthy, anyway? Well, partly through flipping houses. Like the one owned by Mary Frances Hickman back in Warren’s native Oklahoma. In 1993, Warren convinced the elderly widow to sell her the home for a paltry $30,000, National Review reported. Five months later, Warren resold it for $145,000.

    It was one of at least five such lucrative flips Warren pulled off before the housing market and economy crashed in 2008 and she became a crusader for the economic rights of the “little guy.” Like elderly widows preyed upon by opportunistic profit-seekers, perhaps?

    But the real raison d’être of Warren’s political career is to stick it to Wall Street. Last year, Bloomberg Businessweek credited her fiery anti-bank rhetoric and senatorial procedural tricks with sabotaging attempts to roll back heavy-handed financial regulation and with making income inequality an annual rallying cry for Democrats.

    Warren has special ire for Goldman Sachs. After CEO Lloyd Blankfein criticized Bernie Sanders’ class-warfare rhetoric, Warren lit into him.

    Blankfein, she said, “thinks it’s fine to prosecute small business owners, it’s fine to go hard after individuals who have no real resources, but don’t criticize companies like Goldman Sachs and their very, very important CEO.”

    And then she tossed in one of her regular demagogic tricks: keeping the public angry at the banks for the 2008 financial crash. “When Blankfein says that criticizing those who break the rules is dangerous to the economy, then he’s just repeating another variation of ‘too big to fail, too big to jail, too big even to prosecute.’ That tells you here we are, seven years after the crisis and these guys still don’t get it.”

    Sounds like she was ready to endorse Sanders, right? Wrong. She held back until the primary contest was basically over — and then offered her backing to Hillary.

    What’s so ironic about this is that if Goldman Sachs, as an institution, were to somehow take human form and run for political office, it would be — hell, it is — Hillary Clinton.

    It’s not just the donations from the firm to her campaign, which total about $180,000 so far this cycle. It’s also that the firm has paid her four times that amount in speaking fees since she left the Senate.

    To say what? Well, we don’t know. Clinton won’t release the transcripts. But we have a pretty good idea. In one speech, an attendee told Politico’s Ben White, “She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”

    Warren can back whomever she pleases. But let’s not pretend Hillary Clinton is anything other than the manifestation of everything Warren claims to be fighting against.

    Warren’s a fraud, always has been. What’s amazing is that her “progressive” fans still fall for it.


    She should have had the guts to endorse Sanders since they are like 2 peas in a pod. Funny how she and Obama both endorsed someone under criminal investigation. WOW! What values they have...

    LOL, Harvards 'first woman of color' lied about her racial heritage. I suppose when you have to defend one liar, Hillary, you find it easier to defend another.

    When she was first confronted she lied claiming she never listed herself as a Native American.

    Yeah, she and Hillary are prolific liars, but politically, she is more like Sanders, so this is really a sellout.

    I see there is a ton of anger from the Trump supporters, over Obama, Biden, and Warren endorsing Hillary. Maybe they smell defeat on their way?

    Trump and Clinton are the same in my book - they're just appealing to different niches.

    And I see a (*)(*)(*)(*) load of (D) followers starting threads here about Trump, the (D) supporting MSM using their anal probe to find and push stories about how bad Trump has been in his past.

    I wonder which side is more worried?

    Personally, I don't want either of these losers, but I will never vote for Canklepig.

    WILL HILLARY PICK FAUXCAHONTAS AS VEEP? A “Democratic insider” tells the Politico, “No way in hell. She hates her, and she doesn’t want a competitor for power in her White House. The ‘V.P. candidate as attack dog’ thing is long over. Every single Democrat is and will be attacking Trump every day.”

    Hillary hates Warren? Presumably the feeling is mutual, despite whatever posturing Warren does for the team.

    Related: “Apparently Michelle Obama HATES Hillary Clinton.”

    Does anyone in the inner circle actually like Hillary? Other than Huma, that is.

    But according to her...she is a native american. He should have used the proper term....Fauxcohontas.

    Seriously you know what is really racist? Pretending to be a minority to gain unfair advantages over others including displacing the minority that should have had the advantage. Warren is trash. Human trash. She has no business criticizing anyone. How anyone can take her seriously after lying about being a minority illustrates how morally bankrupt the leftists who support her are. She pretended to be a native American. Wtf lefties....wtf. Imagine if Trump did that eh?

    Don't YOU support, "Transracialism"? :icon_jawdrop:
    Why not opt to be another. If they feel it in their soul.

    I do understand how this could honestly happen.
    A Mexican American family I have known for 40 years claims they are smarter because they have "Jewish blood" on one parent's side. They all got the 23AndMe workup and although northern Mexicans have some 0.3 - 0.5% Askenazi blood, the parent with the Jewish linage had, 0.2%. And he claims his mother was Jewish.
    Even if Spanish, Sephardic, there is genome overlap.
    Thus a family lore, destroyed. Yet all children degreed + + whereas cousins are . . . yup. :roll:

    I do understand how it could happen, innocently
    However, it is incumbent on Warren to address it and apologize.
    Then maybe some of us can forgive, Pocahontas.

    Did anyone really think they WOULDN'T endorse her?

    It's no surprise and makes no difference to people who think for themselves.
    Oh wait, now I understand why the libs are so ecstatic :worship:

    some silly Berners were desperate for Warren's endorsement, as they see her as the Progressive kingmaker
