While the White House continues to remind everyone that it’s ‘National Homeownership Month’, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts opted to take to the streets in Boston for that other thing that happens in June — Pride.
“I’m proud to be from Massachusetts, the state that leads the way for LGBTQ equality,” she wrote on Facebook. “And I’m proud to once again march in the Boston Pride Parade with BAGLY, a terrific group that empowers Boston LGBTQ youth. I’m in this fight all the way so that equal means equal and everyone is treated with dignity and respect. To everyone marching and dancing at Boston Pride and celebrations across the country: Happy Pride!”

In another photo caption, Warren let everyone know that, “I don’t march in the Boston Pride Parade. I dance.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Good thing she wasn’t doing a rain dance, it would’ve ruined the whole day.
DarkZephyr
Not cute. At all.
Heywood Jablowme
LOL. But that’s why Republicans are afraid of her. If she did a rain dance it would definitely RAIN. So there!
ChrisK
It was kind of cute IMO. Massachusetts must be really proud to have her as their representative.

Only your side panders. Warren doesn’t need to be there for the votes. We already know what side of the fence she’s on.

Times like this I wish Queerty could allow pictures so I could have Trump smiling while holding the LGBT flag.

Now *that’s* pandering. Upside-down flag that some staffer scrawled on.

Then Texas might consider asking her to serve their state since they have previous had official days of prayer for rain in response to droughts.

She’s awesome.

Who wants to bet she’s going to be the first female President.

we should be so lucky!

Fiscally prudent, socially liberal. Common sense. She has our backs. I hope Elizabeth Warren is our first female president.

The Dems can’t seem to get out of their own way. Hillary is already being shoved back in front. Ugh!
mhoffman953
Let’s hope not. She’d be a cookie-cutter politician.
Just look at her hypocritical record.
>Used her fake minority status to advance her career in education
>Was recognized as Harvard Law School’s “first woman of color” in 1997
>Complains about the cost of college being too much but earns $400,000 / year as a Harvard professor
>Still complains about the cost of college being too much but has received hundreds of thousands in donations from colleges (jacks up your tuition)
>Wants to ban abortion limitations even if the baby can feel pain while being aborted at any stage of pregnancy while paid for by the taxpayers
>Wants to increase FDA regulations which would increase the costs of drugs
>Wants to raise corporate taxes which would drive away business and lower wages (even though corporate taxes account for only 2% of GDP)
>Criticizes banks for foreclosing on homes even though she and her family make bank flipping or re-selling foreclosed homes for a profit
>Proposed that the IRS prepare every US citizen’s tax return which would result in the loss of tax prep jobs and increased government costs
>Claims to be an enemy of the 1% but most of her campaign funding comes from George Soros
It’s easy for her to paint herself as a liberal crusader looking out for the underdog, but with an implementation of her proposed policies, it would hurt the very people she’s pretending to help

LOL!!!!! @mhoffman953 (Or Mo Bro)
You said this….”Complains about the cost of college being too much but earns $400,000 / year as a Harvard professor”

That’s the pathetic thing about the right wing. They think that the left automatically hates wealthy people and that any recitation of somebody’s salary will get the same response as Mit Romney’s tax returns got.
No sweetie, Romney was somebody claiming that the rich were victims and that the poor took advantage, meanwhile he was stashing hundreds of millions overseas. Warren can earn whatever she wants, and that doesn’t change the fact that college tuitions have skyrocketed starting…oh about the time the GOP started pulling money from Education and state universities.
The desperation of the loan right wing troll on here (and his other screenames) to attack Warren just shows me that you are terrified of her, if you weren’t you wouldn’t bother.
1EqualityUSA
Breitbart playbook, Chapter 4, section three, under the heading, “Elizabeth Warren.” Someone asked Ms. Warren what it feels like to be tailed by a van (the dark ones are trying to dig up dirt on her). Her response was, “I’m too busy for these silly games, and they should be too.” (paraphrasing) love it.
ChrisK
@mhoffman953. Regulations are good for average people. Only the 1% hate them. Not taxing corporations doesn’t create jobs unless you consider a post office in the Cayman Islands a job for someone.
We’re talking fetuses (not babies) and women’s bodies. I’m pretty sure you’re not one so it’s none of your god damned business.
ChrisK
@DCguy. I don’t think it matters. He’s been the “lone wolf” ever since his Allister Wiseman” screenname he’s used for many years.
mhoffman953
@DCguy and @ChrisK
What are you guys even talking about? Instead of defending Elizabeth Warren’s record with specific examples, I see tons of deflection.
First you bring up about Mitt Romney, who is a loser and has nothing to do with Warren or what I said. Then both of you accuse me of being other people, one of which I have no idea who he is. If you think I’m some other person, ask Queerty to compare the IP addresses.
Also, regarding DCguy, when you say, “Warren can earn whatever she wants”, that is true BUT don’t you think $400,000 / year is excessive for a part-time college professor? The President of the United States makes the same salary as Warren does at Harvard. Seems unreasonable for a woman who complains about the cost of college going up, which it is by a lot.

“Used her fake minority status to advance her career in education”
There’s actually no proof of her minority status (I also cannot prove I am of a specific chinese ethnic subgroup) but also no proof of it advancing her career.
“Complains about the cost of college being too much but earns $400,000 / year as a Harvard professor”
Not sure what is wrong with that. You can call something out whilst still benefiting form it. In fact, tat is all the more admirable. It’s like Ron Paul calling for reduced government whilst working for the government.
“Still complains about the cost of college being too much but has received hundreds of thousands in donations from colleges”
Refusing those donations could send a message but it wouldn’t reduce tuition. Taking it and working against them is the best thing imo.
“Wants to increase FDA regulations which would increase the costs of drugs”
Should we strip all health and safety regulations to decrease costs?
“Wants to raise corporate taxes which would drive away business and lower wages”
America is a lucrative market for corporations. Just make rules that tax them for the business they do in the US if they want to access the market, even if they HQ elsewhere.
“Criticizes banks for foreclosing on homes even though she and her family make bank flipping or re-selling foreclosed homes for a profit”
I don’t really see how not doing the latter would save the former if the homes are foreclosed.
“Claims to be an enemy of the 1% but most of her campaign funding comes from George Soros”
What has she done for him which was detrimental to her base?
Most of these points are pretty weak and actually convinced me she is a decent candidate. Sadly, that very fact will mean the Dem establishment won’t want to run her. They’ll need to lose a few more before they realise they need to run real progressives and by that time she might be too old.

“There’s actually no proof of her minority status (I also cannot prove I am of a specific chinese ethnic subgroup) but also no proof of it advancing her career.”
Proving one’s ethnicity is simple. What do you mean that it cannot be proven? If she wanted to put the issue to rest and prove people wrong, there are DNA tests out there that you can buy online for $200.
“You can call something out whilst still benefiting form it. In fact, tat is all the more admirable. It’s like Ron Paul calling for reduced government whilst working for the government”
No you can’t. If you do then you are a hypocrite. That would be like calling an oil executive who benefits from offshore drilling and excessive emissions as an admirable person because he says he believes in climate change. Ron Paul advocates for reduced government, not an end to government, that’s a false equivalent.
“Refusing those donations could send a message but it wouldn’t reduce tuition. Taking it and working against them is the best thing imo.”
Why won’t she refuse those donations then? Candidates can refuse money. Why should student money go to a politician’s campaign and not to education? You allege she took the money and has worked against these colleges for skyrocketing tuition, how has she done this? By just saying some soundbites? Sounds like she belongs to the Cherokee tribe called “all talk-no action”
“Should we strip all health and safety regulations to decrease costs?”
I never said we should do that. Not sure how increasing red tape, regulations, and the already multitude of hurdles for getting a drug to the market would help the market. There are HIV and cancer drugs which go through rigorous testing now but can’t get to the market because of excessive regulations. You’re creating a strawman with your response now
“Just make rules that tax them for the business they do in the US if they want to access the market, even if they HQ elsewhere”
That’s how the tax system works already. Clearly you have never run a business over multiple states and countries if you don’t know that. International companies pay taxes in every country where their products are sold. However, if you raise already high taxes in the US, companies will still sell their products here BUT they’ll move production facilities and jobs overseas. This has already been happening for generations due to this very problem. Pfizer moved their US plants to Ireland because of tax rates. Thus a loss of US jobs and loss of US tax revenue from the workers who aren’t earning an income now.
“I don’t really see how not doing the latter would save the former if the homes are foreclosed.”
Just another example of her crying about the system but then using someone’s misfortune for her own personal gain. It’s one thing if you make money from foreclosures, nothing wrong with that. But don’t give people a lecture on this if you earn hundreds of thousands benefiting from the system.
“What has she done for him which was detrimental to her base”
LOL, nice way to phrase that response. If she wasn’t supporting the same causes as him, he wouldn’t be funding her. He’s the 1% which she claims to hate, yet she still accepts his money. Why won’t she refuse it? Super PACs and the 1%, don’t just give candidates tons of money for fun. The NRA doesn’t fund candidates because they think they’re cool people. They obviously have an agenda – nothing wrong with it BUT a candidate accepts money from the groups and people they are supposedly working against, do you really then think that candidate is truly working against that person?
You must have blinders on if you can’t find any faults with Pocahontas and don’t see through her all-talk-no-action charade

On Monday, June 12, 2017, Rachel Maddow’s entire show kicked ass. What a lawyer she would make. Here’s the link. The timelines and explanations are stellar. Congratulations, MSNBC. This Trump thing is unfolding like a novel. woof. Hannity will look the fool when this is done unless Fox is complicit. Whoo, chapter 8?

The only thing missing from the Trump Administration are the organ stings.

She should run for president…… that is, if there still is such a thing after this administration gets through with the United States, shi*ting all over it.

Meanwhile, the ones who should know better, seasoned Republican stalwarts, such as turtle ‘n’ serf, are escaping the wrath, cloistered in a fetal position. Shine the light on them. It will be like a scene out of, “Willard.”
