				Sen. Warren is at it again!
			 
 She claims to have DNA test results that prove that she is part Indian...but at 1/16 - 1/32, does that constitute enough for her to claim that heritage as her racial makeup?
 ...maybe the remaining 15/16 - 31/32 is just pure crap????
 
 Of course she used a "reputable" DNA testing facility, probably one that they advertise on TV, you know, the ones with that great level of accuracy (wink, wink)....
 
 With that level of idiocy, we should ALL be allowed to claim minority status when applying for ANYTHING.
 
 She continues top prove just how much of a joke she really is!

				 | In her defense, Trump has been poking her lately about it.
 Still can’t stand the woman though.

				 | It pretty much fits her family tale as she told it. 
Maybe Don the Con will pay up, Of course he says he didn't say it (never mind the video) then he could take a test to prove he's Swedish as he once claimed, provide the tax returns to prove he only got a small loan of one million or any tax return at all.

				 | Let the hate fill you.  I’m sure all of you guys thrive on it. 
 And for the mental midgets who can’t grasp this.  She was probably told by her parents that a distant grandparent was an Indian.  A family story that was passed down.  The DNA test proves that she was correct.
 
 Sorry.  Try again ....on a new hateful subject.

 |  I think they have a pretty good model called firehose of falsehood
 
Since his entrance into the political arena (if not before), there has been a remarkable evolution in Trump's approach to news. The President has effectively employed new dissemination channels and messages in support of his 2016 election, his agenda, his ongoing involvement in disavowing Russian collusion and various other issues, and his antagonism of allies. The Trump news model is high-volume and multichannel, and it disseminates messages without regard for the truth. It is also rapid, continuous, and repetitive, and it lacks commitment to consistency. Although these techniques run counter to the conventional wisdom for successful information campaigns, research in psychology supports many of the most successful aspects of the model. Furthermore, the very factors that make the firehose of falsehood effective also make it difficult to counter. Traditional counterpropaganda approaches will likely be inadequate in this context. More effective solutions can be found in the same psychology literature that explains the surprising success of the Trump news model and its messages. |
