Even the Indigenous People immigrated here. AND Europe. The first Homo sapiens originated in Africa (unless they very recently found earlier remains in Asia). Even the Genus Homo didn't arrive until the first Indigenous People arrived from Asia and they were all of the same species - sapiens. So if der donald und der valueless want to get rid of immigrants ALL OF US HAVE TO GO. Thanks Mary for always speaking up.
Don't forget that Pope Francis, the leader of the same Catholic Church that is responsible for eliminating the Indigenous people, refused to endorse the only moral presidential candidate just a week ago. The Chumash arrived in California 10,000 years ago, about the same time the Marsh Arabs started trading in Mesopotamia. The Catholic Church, through their proxies in Spain and Mexico, killed virtually all of them. The US government finished off the rest by offering Anglo settlers reimbursement for ammo and expenses incurred while eliminating the Chumash and other California coastal tribes. The survivors were rounded up by the padres and served as slave laborers tanning hides in the California mission concentration camps. 200 years ago, the Chumash rebelled at Mission Santa Barbara, Mission Santa Ynez and Mission Purisima. Of course they were slaughtered - just like Cardinal Dolan and Pope Francis slaughtered American democracy.
Being a non-theist, I refuse to take part in any religious controversy. However if anyone slaughters American democracy it will the the voters too "fn" lazy to get off the couch to vote.
Pretty sure the voters learnt their lesson in 2016. Hopefully the only ones still sitting on the couch are the basement boys who will probably be too busy wanking of to vote.
Of all the horrible and terrifying things that were said at the hate fest yesterday at MSG, the part about Trump and Johnson's "little secret" was the most chilling to me.
It was the front page headline on the Sun newspaper (Murdoch-owned) the day before the 1992 UK election, stoking up fears of the impact of a Kinnock-led Labour Government...
That's a story line that begins long before the Vikings. For the purposes of this discussion regarding the Americas, I suggest we might stick to more recent centuries--like 1000 AD
Actually the Indigenous people started arriving around 20, 000 years ago, So they predate even the Vikings who most assuredly predated Columbus (who never set foot on the Continent) The name America comes from a Spanish explorer Amerigo.
Fay, mentioning Columbus prompts me to say that I have not observed the “Columbus Day” holiday for over 40 years. The beginning of the European colonization of the Americas began with his arrival. The violence associated with that invasion caused the enslavement and deaths of thousands of indigenous peoples and the displacement of their communities. I see his arrival as the origin of a disgraceful and shameful legacy. I cannot support that part of our history by celebrating his arrival.
Agreed, But I see Columbus day more as admiring the contributions of the Italian Americans, just as St,l Patrick's Day celebrates contributions of Irish Americans and Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican Americans, and Martin Luther King Day celebrates the huge debt we owe African Americans for their enormous contribution they have given the United States. Now if only we celebrated Robbie Burns Day (January 25) I being more than 90% Scottish ancestry would be very, very happy. We might add Bastille Day for the French Americans, and Guy Faux Day for the Brits. I'm sure there would be enough ethnic days to fill the calendar.
In view of the travesties committed as stated in my previous comments, I join the 13 states that do not celebrate Columbus Day. Instead, I wholeheartedly support Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
In every country and continent conquered by “explorers,” people died for no apparent reason. The conquerors were only interested in seizing lands for their kings. [I would add 'and looting']
Things were even crazier at the time of the Crusades, which aimed to convert Muslims to Christianity by force of arms. That was also the case on the American continent, because the others who had been living there for ages were the "savages" and, in their opinion, were not civilized.
Human history is actually pretty bad because it has always been about power and wealth. And that others had to work hard so that some people could become rich.
The Indigenous came in multiple waves... The main waves were the Algonquin over 30,000 yrs ago... Walked over during an Ice Age... The other large Migration were the Athabaskans, about 10,000yrs ago, We came over during the most recent Ice Age... Since the Indigenous arrived first, it is debatable that we are Immigrants....Long ago enough so that the DNA is different from Contemporary Europeans, Africans, and most Asians... Our DNA is closest to Native Hawaiians, and the Ainu in Northern Japan... Honorable Mentions are the Inuit, aka Eskimos, who came from the East, and the Polynesians that landed in Coastal Peru, and the Channel Islands off Southern California... Mighty Sailors Indeed!!!
Thank you very much, Apache. I am aware that the Indigenous people arrived in waves and probably some used an ice bridge across the Bering Strait. These adventurous people traveled all the way down to Tierra del Fuego and populated North, Central, and South America, millenia before the Europeans arrived circa 1500 years ago. My point was none of the Homo genus originated in the Americas, therefor we are all immigrants, so which immigrants do the MAGA maggots wish to remove?
Hello Fay... I can see your Point, but don't necessarily agree with it... An interesting aspect is that the Origin Stories of the First Nations, all take place in the Americas... These Continents are our Holy Lands...

You've brought this point home with evolutionary proof! Where would we be without the historical fact that the homo genus has always been searching for freedom and opportunity and have traveled far and wide across this planet and we're still exploring throughout the universe! We are a precious gift from God, brothers and sisters, united in this innate need for progress and the freedom our Constitution has created. Thank you, Fay, for the reminder "we are stardust".
Now you absolutely can't choose relatives; Genes or not; It doesn't mean that everyone is automatically stupid because a relative has a genetic defect.
Although referring to someone's "genetic lineage" is quite different from saying that one particular person in a family has a certain illness/genetic defect.
Leider scheinen Trumps Kinder alle mit der gleichen Veranlagung wie ihr Vater belastet zu sein. Jeden Tag erinnert mich Lara Trump an Magda Goebbels. Diese blinde, kranke Hingabe an ihren Schwiegervater. Die gleiche Ergebenheit, die Magda gegenüber Hitler zeigte. Die Geschichte wiederholt sich.
And that translates to: Unfortunately, Trump’s children all appear to be burdened with the same disposition as their father. Every day Lara Trump reminds me of Magda Goebbels. That blind, sick dedication to her father-in-law. The same devotion Magda showed to Hitler. History is repeating itself.
I believe some of both -- with Nature being the far more important of the two. Having said that, there is some surprising research that shows that sociopathy apparently has some degree of genetic component to it. Of course not every child of a sociopath gets the gene.
Fred, Jr. -- Mary's father -- was as UNLIKE his father, and his sibs as far as I know, as could be. He was, as far as I have discerned, a loving, free-wheeling person, who tragically died from alcoholism. As you write, the descendants of donald and their spouses all appear to be Hitlerian in one way or another.
Actually, the cruelty stems back to Fred, Sr.'s father (Donald's PGF), who was born in Germany. Probably before that. Germans of that time, 1800's - early 1900's, were BIG-TIME "disciplinarians". (I do know whereof I speak.)
Actually Fred Sr. was born in New York City, ConOld told the story of his father being born in Germany was just that, a story he told, it was a lie, surprised, not me, he lies every time his mouth is open.
Not sure what is going on here! All I said is that Fred, Sr.'s father was born in Germany. I said nothing about Fred, Sr.'s birthplace. This is getting pretty crazy.
Donald Trump's father Fred was not born in Germany; The grandfather Friedrich Trump, however, actually comes from Germany, namely from Kallstadt an der Weinstrasse. Trump's grandfather returned to Germany because of his wife Elisabeth Christ, a neighbor from Kallstadt. But he was considered a military refugee - and therefore the authorities banned Friedrich Trump from Bavarian territory, as documents show: On July 1, 1905, the Trumps finally left Germany from Hamburg. Three months later, Frederick Trump, Donald Trump's father, was born - in New York. Donald had already claimed that his father came from Sweden, which of course was nonsense. When he was once asked why he said this, he reportedly said that his father had spent time in Sweden.
I do not know about of the browsers, but with Chrome, select the passage you wish to translate, right click and select 'Translate selection to English'
no, I am not German. I used Google translate and saved what it said for your convenience. I used to own an Atari ST. A lot of software for that GEM platform came out of Germany. spent a lot of time translating the menus. and, I used to rent from a German lady. so, I have been exposed to the language. Unique thing about it is you make up words on the fly, so it's not as simple as going to a German to English dictionary. you won't find half the words. so, you have to break words apart into smaller words and see if you can find them. if you do, you have to guess what they all have incommon to find an equivalent single English word. that's what I know about German. German is also a Hodge Podge of several different languages mixed together, so about a quarter are similar to English.
A man ashamed of his own family history, is doing his best to try to get everyone else to carry his shame too. Instead of dealing with his own issues, Trump has always been a Loser, seeking to blame everyone and everything thing else. All his energy to get others to join him in Finger Pointing Shame. That is Not the American Way. The Opposite of what Really Made America Great. DonOld is a FALSE PROPHET! Don’t Not Drink his Poison…
As did Elon who worked illegally while setting up his first company.
And many on that list of fascists. This isn’t really about immigration of course it is about hate and having a target so people can fear and turn to authority (fascism) for protection. This is about protecting capitalism from democracy…
I'm sure Elon will pay people to make sure the Gardens bleachers are full. Obviously the DOJ's warning meant zero. Wake up Merrick Garland! Buying votes in America is illegal. Is anyone at DOJ including the FBI listening?
Thank you. I know the wheels of Justice turn slowly BUT this is an emergency, they must act before the election. Personally, I'd love to see Musk in an orange jumpsuit.
Should the taxpayer in the USA also pay for this disgusting guy? No, you could let him fly with you on the next test flight of one of SpaceX's rockets - with a one-way ticket to Pluto. So that he can have entertainment, Donald Trump is allowed to fly for free. In addition, Elon Musk would pay for the trip himself, which would definitely reduce the burden on taxpayers.
How else would he mobilize people? In rural areas, where there are apparently a lot of Republicans, no one has to spend a dime to fill the stands. If journalists who don't want anything to do with Trump took photos at such events with high-flying drones, everyone could see how many (or rather how few) people actually gathered there. When Donald first became president, pro-Trump newspapers ran photos that were very cleverly taken to simulate a large crowd. Photos taken from further away have proven exactly that. I honestly can't really imagine whether Elon Musk actually pays people to ensure that the venues are well filled. Anyone who goes to Trump's election rallies has to be a Republican. They wouldn't convince a real Democrat to attend such an event if they gave him $5,000.
Thank you, Andy. I never studied German, just French, Latin, and Spanish, and I'm not very good at any. Would you mind responding to Michael that we appreciate his response but 2024 is way different from 2016 and 2017. Most of us know trump now. Also Madison Square Gardens is enclosed so we couldn't take crowd pictures from above. Thank you again Andy for your interpretation.
oops. I don't speak German, though I had exposure to it. used Google translate and then eyeballed it against the original for accuracy. The nature of German grammer, where you invent words on the fly, makes it impossible for me to go the other way
If someone owed me 2 million dollars and wouldn't pay, Orange Jesus is the LAST person I would hang out with and BTW I sure hope Madison Square Garden collected their million dollars up front to rent the stadium. Otherwise, they're screwed.
MSG probably charging rally people. They know DJT is a dead beat. Everyone in NY knows. Nobody gets paid. Fear is a powerful motivator. Threats just add color.
Mary you absolutely rock. You say what we are thinking and say it so well. Let Donald waste his time and money and hate in a state that hates him 🤬 Looking forward to seeing the protesters supporting democracy. What a joke of a line-up…criminals and grifters and haters supporting this clown. Thank you ❤️
Listen to this and you will know exactly the direction the country is heading with this guy ad it's way beyond what any of us have been thinking. Pass it on to others.
My husband who is Tibetan, had recently moved to the United States just before the horrific beating of Rodney King. We were visiting my parents. My Dad tried to explain about America. He said, "America is a melting pot." I'll always remember my husband's response: "I think is more like stir fry." LOL!!! My father was so surprised -- and then said, "By golly! You're right!"
One of my professors in grad school called America 🇺🇸 a salad. All different cultures and flavors which are mixed together but still retain individual flavors
No one who came here voluntarily -- no, not even white Europeans -- came because they were doing so well in the Old Country. They weren't the wealthy landowners. They were the second sons who would never inherit. They were widows and orphaned daughters without male relatives who faced a life of abject poverty.
MAGAts are so alienated from their roots that they have forgotten this.
These Freaks Are All Disgusting 🤮 Filled With Hate And Lies
They Only Care About Themselves

I just listened to a smart political behaviorist, Rachel Bitecofer, speak on the David Pakman show. She pointed out that most people who live in flyover country and who shop at Walmart do not give one little shit or pay attention. They don't care that Trump is a 47-time sex offender and a felon. They don't know that his generals have called him a fascist. They care about NASCAR and the NFL, and that's it. She noted that 63% of Americans support mass deportation, including 40% of Democrats. This is what we're up against, folks. Racism, misogyny, and dumb-as-shit laziness and ignorance.
If Trump wins, it's because of that. After people get deported en masse and there's no one to pick crops, and prices go up 20% because of tariffs and because there's no one to pick crops, and a national abortion ban goes into effect and a lot more women are dying, and their houses are all floating or burning or blowing away because of global warming, and Trump can do anything he wants because he's immune from prosecution, and Putin invades Ukraine and Poland, and they start rounding up journalists, these ignorant people will wake up and go, 'how the fuck could that have happened?'
HYPOCRISY ! We all started as immigrants, even Donny Dumpsterfire's tainted / POISONED genetic line, most certainly.
Donald Trump’s racism and xenophobia are on full display. That’s what MAGA loves about him. That’s why his base is so steadfast.
His central mandate is racism. The Trump-Vance flags/banners in my neighborhood say “Take America Back.” From whom? Blatantly racist.
They think racism is cool and aren't embarrassed like they should be. I'll be glad when they crawl back under their rocks!
All the GOP have is racism: Migrant caravans, Haitians eating pets, Blood libel, "Black jobs". It IS their campaign.
How about wearing this "Keep the immigrants, deport the racists" shirt in front of them? 👇
https://libtees-2.creator-spring.com/listing/keeplb
We MUST stop Trump!
You nailed it! All they are is about racism. Even their misogyny, homophobia and transphobia tie into their racism. Just like it was to the OG Nazis.
You're right. The immigrants he most dislikes are not white.
The people of the First Nations who are not immigrants are not white, either
Fuck Donald Trump
Deport the Maggots
SO SAY WE ALL ! You cut to the bone & marrow of things, GRATZI.
Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely 💯

Trump and Johnson (little Mikey) are cooking up a secret sauce to overturn our election in the House.
Of all the horrible and terrifying things that were said at the hate fest yesterday at MSG, the part about Trump and Johnson's "little secret" was the most chilling to me.
Yes. The Catholic hypocrisy is unforgivable.
AMERICA : WILL THE LAST PERSON TO LEAVE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS ?
I wish that I could take credit for that, but unless I'm mistaken, it was a title.
I'm not going anywhere, so please leave them on?!
It is unfortunately VERY RELEVANT today! Good quote!
It was the front page headline on the Sun newspaper (Murdoch-owned) the day before the 1992 UK election, stoking up fears of the impact of a Kinnock-led Labour Government...
They used to say that a lot about Seattle whenever Boeing would have a massive layoff. They're doing that now, who will turn out the lights?
That's a story line that begins long before the Vikings. For the purposes of this discussion regarding the Americas, I suggest we might stick to more recent centuries--like 1000 AD

Now if only we celebrated Robbie Burns Day (January 25) I being more than 90% Scottish ancestry would be very, very happy. We might add Bastille Day for the French Americans, and Guy Faux Day for the Brits. I'm sure there would be enough ethnic days to fill the calendar.
In view of the travesties committed as stated in my previous comments, I join the 13 states that do not celebrate Columbus Day. Instead, I wholeheartedly support Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
TBF, there *was* no Italy at the time of Columbus's birth. Maybe the Ligurians or Genoese Americans should now be celebrating instead? LOL ;-)

Last name : Vespucci
Thank you, America did come from his first name, not sure if he was Spanish or Italian -being all romance languages it's hard for me to distinguish
Actually Native American people were here 30,000 years ago
Thank you for that update.
It is not an update, it is the truth. I know, it is my family's history.

My great grandfather & family sailed from Kent, England in 1852 & arrived in Portland, OR in 1853. I guess we'll all have to go, too!
Are you a journalist ? You sound like one. And definitely NOT one of those trying to INFLUENCE / SHAPE the news.
Don't be too ugly. Remember, sweet, smart Mary is from that same genetic line.

Lara is not one of trump's children. No blood connection.
Married to Trump's son Eric, I believe.
Considering the author, attacking the Trump family genes may not be a smart move.
I think that it was the dysfunctional family under the leadership of Donald's father that was the real problem, not his genetic heritage.
If we start blaming genes and ethnicity for our problems, we might as well simply hoist the racist flag.
Actually, the cruelty stems back to Fred, Sr.'s father (Donald's PGF), who was born in Germany. Probably before that. Germans of that time, 1800's - early 1900's, were BIG-TIME "disciplinarians". (I do know whereof I speak.)

LOL!
His mother was from Scotland. His paternal grandfather was a draft dodger from Germany. Donold himself married two women born in Europe.
He doesn’t hate all immigrants. Just Black and brown ones.
A man ashamed of his own family history, is doing his best to try to get everyone else to carry his shame too. Instead of dealing with his own issues, Trump has always been a Loser, seeking to blame everyone and everything thing else. All his energy to get others to join him in Finger Pointing Shame. That is Not the American Way. The Opposite of what Really Made America Great. DonOld is a FALSE PROPHET! Don’t Not Drink his Poison…
Nothing to do with facts.
All about election fear mongering Trumph propagandas.
Hitlarian generals and Goebels counterparts!
Faith or fear? Choose wisely.
Harris or scare us?
Let the gravediggers do the digging, don't bury us yet.
God gave us Mary in the same line.
Thank god for Mary Trump! She has the best insight to Donald and his offspring. Including the tone-deaf daughter-in-law!
As did Elon who worked illegally while setting up his first company.
And many on that list of fascists. This isn’t really about immigration of course it is about hate and having a target so people can fear and turn to authority (fascism) for protection. This is about protecting capitalism from democracy…
Yeah his mother was Not from this country she was a immigrant
She was from United Kingdom
I'm sure Elon will pay people to make sure the Gardens bleachers are full. Obviously the DOJ's warning meant zero. Wake up Merrick Garland! Buying votes in America is illegal. Is anyone at DOJ including the FBI listening?
You called it by asking Merrick Garland & the FBI if they are listening.
Thank you. I know the wheels of Justice turn slowly BUT this is an emergency, they must act before the election. Personally, I'd love to see Musk in an orange jumpsuit.

Also Madison Square Gardens is enclosed so we couldn't take crowd pictures from above. Thank you again Andy for your interpretation.
My guess is Michael can understand written English, but just doesn't feel comfortable expressing his thoughts in English.
oops. I don't speak German, though I had exposure to it. used Google translate and then eyeballed it against the original for accuracy. The nature of German grammer, where you invent words on the fly, makes it impossible for me to go the other way
Rudi giuliani? He can still walk around as a free citizen. Incredible. LOck him up and throw the key. What a gangster
If someone owed me 2 million dollars and wouldn't pay, Orange Jesus is the LAST person I would hang out with and BTW I sure hope Madison Square Garden collected their million dollars up front to rent the stadium. Otherwise, they're screwed.
MSG probably charging rally people. They know DJT is a dead beat. Everyone in NY knows. Nobody gets paid. Fear is a powerful motivator. Threats just add color.
Maybe Elon paid for MSG.
His defense to the NY fraud trial was that the banks knew his was a liar a cheat and a fraud.
Wobble around. And he's obviously killing himself with poor health. Good by palm beach home next.
Well Vance isn't any better. In some ways he's worse. He comes across as more sane than Trump, actually I think he's totally insane.
Good bye. Omitted E. Which stands for egregious.
Isn’t there a rule RG shouldn’t be hanging out with a felon just like DJT shouldn’t have a gin or hang out with a felon? Where are these guys POs?
I've wondered that myself. Guess the rules don't apply if you have a bunch of 0's in your bank account.
If he wants to deport dangerous immigrants he should start with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. And throw in Rupert Murdoch for good measure.
Musk was residing her illegally when he started his first business, now he gets away and everyone else gets attacked.
Chutzpah!!
Deport the "tiny orange mushroom" to Gehenna
Good place to visit but I would not want to live there!
That's my wish. They're the immigrants who are the real "evil within"
Keep up the great writing Mary -
100,000 protesters is worth noting.
How can this even be happening in our country, it seems so impossible.
Thank your for your service.
yes, first time I have read about the protesters, though lots of references to the MSG rally itself. Good to know!
100,000 protesters?! Excellent! 🇺🇸
Terrific!💙💙💙💙💯
Mary you absolutely rock. You say what we are thinking and say it so well. Let Donald waste his time and money and hate in a state that hates him 🤬 Looking forward to seeing the protesters supporting democracy. What a joke of a line-up…criminals and grifters and haters supporting this clown. Thank you ❤️
Donald is running to stay out of prison and his ugliness on the inside is showing on the outside.
What a hideous excuse for a human being.
Agreed!
Thank you, Mary 💙.
It is demoralizing and exhausting that so many people support Donald's hate.
Today represents a new low in the American experience.
Our nation has truly lost its mind.
We literally fought a world war to protect against Hitlers German advance.
80 years later the actual Nazi Stephen Miller is making policy and speaking at a Hitler rally in Madison Square Garden.
How we have fallen.
Stephen Miller who is the product of people killed by Hilter. I don't understand such as him.
He is evil. Pure evil.
Another self-hating ghoul that Stephen Miller who is truly dangerous. He is pure evil.
Neither does his family.

I don't either! Does anyone have an answer to that question 🤔????
Listen to this and you will know exactly the direction the country is heading with this guy ad it's way beyond what any of us have been thinking. Pass it on to others.

Melting pot. But it seems the last immigrant through the door turns and says, “lock it quick before those foreigners get in.”
My husband who is Tibetan, had recently moved to the United States just before the horrific beating of Rodney King. We were visiting my parents. My Dad tried to explain about America. He said, "America is a melting pot." I'll always remember my husband's response: "I think is more like stir fry." LOL!!! My father was so surprised -- and then said, "By golly! You're right!"
One of my professors in grad school called America 🇺🇸 a salad. All different cultures and flavors which are mixed together but still retain individual flavors
A lot of SITCOMS have used this scenario. I could post a PARTIAL list if you care to wait 3 hours.....
No one who came here voluntarily -- no, not even white Europeans -- came because they were doing so well in the Old Country. They weren't the wealthy landowners. They were the second sons who would never inherit. They were widows and orphaned daughters without male relatives who faced a life of abject poverty.
MAGAts are so alienated from their roots that they have forgotten this.
Or running away from persecution
I came here voluntary, but after the 2008 economic disaster, McConnell refused to follow Mr. Obama' s financial solution and I lost it all.
Its hard for me admit to myself much less put into words how much I hate trump and his barbarism.
These Freaks Are All Disgusting 🤮 Filled With Hate And Lies
They Only Care About Themselves
donOLD Has Divided Our Nation And Torn
Families Apart In The Process He Must Be Stopped! We Have To Stand Up For Our Country And Our People To Save Our Democracy And Our Freedom Vote Blue Up And Down The Ballot 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙HARRIS AND💙💙💙💙💙 WALZ 💙💙💙💙💙2024💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
He DOES realize that JD’s in-laws are immigrants, does he not?
So is his wife!!!
"his" = Donald's, not Vance's. Vance's wife was born here. 67% of Donald's wives are immigrants. Some jobs are hard to find Americans to do....
Not JD’s
Mike Johnson! Tucker Carlson! Oh god save us
I just listened to a smart political behaviorist, Rachel Bitecofer, speak on the David Pakman show. She pointed out that most people who live in flyover country and who shop at Walmart do not give one little shit or pay attention. They don't care that Trump is a 47-time sex offender and a felon. They don't know that his generals have called him a fascist. They care about NASCAR and the NFL, and that's it. She noted that 63% of Americans support mass deportation, including 40% of Democrats. This is what we're up against, folks. Racism, misogyny, and dumb-as-shit laziness and ignorance.
If Trump wins, it's because of that. After people get deported en masse and there's no one to pick crops, and prices go up 20% because of tariffs and because there's no one to pick crops, and a national abortion ban goes into effect and a lot more women are dying, and their houses are all floating or burning or blowing away because of global warming, and Trump can do anything he wants because he's immune from prosecution, and Putin invades Ukraine and Poland, and they start rounding up journalists, these ignorant people will wake up and go, 'how the fuck could that have happened?'
