I wonder what political party he is affiliated with. It's really a mystery, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Not wishing to make an unwarranted assumption, I looked up Sen. Foreman's political party. And yes, of course, he's GOP.

[–] buddascrayon 2 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Or you could have, you know, read the article.

Talk about thorough.

How does someone like this become senator?

[–] RagingRobot 41 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

People in power usually aren't smart. They just have money from their parents or grandparents. This isn't a meritocracy. Idiots rule the world

[–] StarshotJohn 5 points 16 hours ago

Additionally, the dumb relate to the dumb (and are easily manipulated), hence why they get votes.

[–] dubious 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

and there's only one way to get rid of them

[–] [email protected] 16 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Trick them in to thinking that the senate building is haunted.

[–] crank0271 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Great, now they're diverting all the tax revenue to churches to pay for exorcisms.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Don't read in to the fact that the priest receiving all the tax payer money looks like the senator but with a goatee, and you never see them in the same room.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I'm sure that'll work, provided there aren't any meddlesome kids about!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Really makes you question the youth vote.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Pretty sure the mystery gang would help out with such an operation. Remember they mostly dealt with rich people.

Carpetbagging Idaho state senator....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

Then it makes sense. Unless we're talking about white guy going to Europe somewhere and the indigene going 'back' to eastern Russia.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago

lol

Furthermore: lmao

Life imitates art, I'm sure I've seen this in a comedy movie at some point. I just never thought anyone would be dumb enough to say it in real life.

[–] FlyingSquid 48 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The person he said that to missed a great opportunity to say, "sure. Give me your house keys."

Surelly the right answer would've been "Go back to Europe".

(Mind you, as an European, please don't).

[–] [email protected] 215 points 1 day ago (24 children)

“Idaho senator born in another state tells Native American congressional candidate from a tribe native to the state to “go back where you came from.”

It would have been a much wordier headline but relays a lot more pertinent information.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 day ago

Idaho State Sen. Dan Foreman, a conservative Republican

Said this to

Trish Carter-Goodheart, a Democrat running for a House seat

Always use names. The veil of "a politician said" or "big company does" is too blinding. Name and shame.

Their ideology is a cancer

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (4 children)

An ideology of "I won't listen to you because I'm motivated to oppress everyone else for my own gain," is, most definitely, going to make the world worse. And this will be entirely on purpose, and no one will apologise.

"Alright..." looks around at the country his people lived in for longer than white dudes lived in it "....Done, now what?"

This stupid fuck of a senator needs to go back to where he came from (sorry Illinois, you can’t just dump your garbage in other states like that)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Even better: she's from the Nez Perce tribe, who do still live in the general area they originally came from. Which isn't always a given for very violent and racist reasons.

So he doesn't come from there, his ancestors definitely didn't come from there, and hers very much did.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

Totally on brand. It will be funny one day for a Native American to say this to one of these racists.

[–] Nurse_Robot 57 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The irony has been palpable for over a century. Bizarre that we still accept it as a society
