Elizabeth Warren impressed me

[Joods]

Who cares what her ancestors were, what they did, or where they came from?

It shouldn't be an issue - unless they came from another planet.

And yeah - Trump is a dick, and apparently a welcher as well.

Trump cared. 
He cared enough to mock her at rallies - relentlessly. Yet more belittling of women without regard to it being inappropriate.
He cared enough to be video taped stating that he would give one million dollars to the charity of her choice if she followed through with a DNA test. He's now walking back his statements. 

You're right - it shouldn't be an issue, but t.Rump made it one.

Shit.  If YOU were the Democratic candidate I'd vote for you.  Anything but that nazi shitstain we have now.

I am old enough to be president for the first time. But I'm an unmarried atheist who went to community college. That is not a winning combo.

Compared to the Orange Shitgibbon it is.

Not only that, but his response today was "it's not an issue"

Really? Because your the one who made it one. What a douche. Even Fox news ran a story that showed Trump said he'd donate a million dollars if she took one.

For a million bucks, I would want to have a second opinion.   I did not know (and understand why) various populations have not partaken in DNA sampling, but am also skeptical of the access to 1st nation and peruvian samples outweighing access to USA tribal samples.

I took a DNA test. Said I was white as shit. Pretty much all German and English. Which is exactly what our family stories said too. They can even track when your relatives came to the US. Which also lined up exactly with our genological records.

Elizabeth Warren is pretty much as white as me. But you have to respect that she looked into it with science.

I am not sure whether Warren shopped around for an expert that would give her the highest probability to score a hit.  I am skeptical of the reading markers from Peru --> indicates Cherokee (Warrens oral history).   But for a million bucks (and/or to save face) I would seek out the test that would give me the highest probability to not lose....  and thats the tests result when you get down to the 'science' of this particular method.  They did not rule out Native American.  And something kept nagging at my memory. 

Found it here:

The team looked for a series of nine repeating chunks of DNA, known as 9RA, which falls in a non-coding region of chromosome 9.

They found the 9RA sequence in at least one member of all the Native American populations tested, such as the Cherokee and Apache people. The two populations in eastern Siberia, where the Bering land bridge once connected Asia to North America, also tested positive for the 9RA sequence. --> more at link below

One would think the good professor would be aware (and I think he is).  He talks about chromo 10 but not 9.  He used a proprietary algorithm to sequence.  This is not to say his result is wrong, but I think it falls under inconclusive.

[Joods]

I think t.Rump needs to man the fuck up, shut the fuck up and just resign from office.

His obvious hatred for women is clear. The fact that Warren did get a DNA test and t.Rump is being a whiny little piece of shit about it, now that he can be told to stick both feet in his mouth, is proof of his woman-hating mentality.

[Minimalist]

The Orange Turdfuhrer is always a whiny little bitch.  Its the only thing he has mastered.

[Joods]

What I think is that he like to stir up trouble and then leave it to his staff to try and get him out of it.

[Minimalist]

They're doing a shit job.

And the Trumpets are concocting excuses to defend their pope

[CarveTheFive]

she perfered her family story to finding out the truth. How an atheist could justify that statement (which nobody even attempted to do) is beyond me.

I get what you’re saying but that’s a really long stretch.
