Columbus Day Great Again? NO! Celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day!

And if you're one of Donnie's air traffic controllers you have to celebrate it at work without getting paid!

Thank Chuck. :)
Oh, Senator Schumer just wants people's healthcare costs not to skyrocket to pay for billionaires' tax cuts. It's President Trump that wants to force the air traffic controllers to work without pay on pain of getting the sack.

That's the bullshit he's trying to put forth. You bought it. :)

Hey, read your own country's news. All the Democrats are asking is for the healthcare plans not to be screwed.

If Trump won't agree to that, then he really wants to screw everyone, from the people trying to get an airplane flight to people who fall ill to the dark-skinned citizens beaten up and abducted by ICE.
 
Happy Indigenous People’s Day, and if that offends you, I hope the entire Poltergeist movie happens to you.

The entire movie.
 
Don't forget to leave out a cake of smallpox containing an Epstein File for the indigenous peoples tonight.
If you're connecting diseases to Columbus I might suggest syphilis, since member(s) of his first expedition brought it back to the Old World a few decades before the New World experienced smallpox.

The first European syphilis outbreak happened in 1494. The first smallpox outbreak in the New World was around 1518.
 
Even Columbus' own ship's crew had nothing good to say about the man. Then as now, he was recognized as a monster.
And Columbus Day only existed in the first place as a peace offering to Italian Americans after an incident in New Orleans where a number of them were persecuted. It was never really about honoring the man who (ostensibly) discovered America.
 
Trump loves the poorly educated.

FYi, the Europeans collected blankets from smallpox victims and gave them to the native peoples, knowing full well that they would get ill and likely die as a result.

They didn't know about treatments for viruses and bacteria, but they knew to keep the hell away from lepers and keep them in isolation in ancient times.
There are only two documented cases of Intentional spread of the disease by blankets or tobacco. One of those has NO proof but the word of mouth still spreads the trope. In no large part to people like you.

A modicum of research would enlighten you to the fact that just by the mere presence of Europeans in the new world, Indians would have been exposed to germs they had no defense against. Two cases of intentional free blanket hand outs didn’t devastate the whole continent. I’m sure that particular tribe was though.

The point is, this wasn’t a planned genocide. You can surely make the argument that the European descendants were indifferent to the Indians plight.
 
You must not live or work or visit NYC. Columbus Day parade is (usually) very big and locals got upset when they took down Columbus statues.
You must not know the difference between Italian and Italian-American. :ROFLMAO:

You're not wrong about any of that. I still can't get that worked up one way or the other. As long as I get the day off with pay I don't much care what people call it, lol.
 
I love this because you lack the cognitive capacity to explain why he said that, mistaking Tyson as a fan of Columbus.
They pull that sort of thing all the time. That's why they think Martin Luther King would be a Republican now, too.

And pigs fly. :rolleyes:
 
Which indigenous peoples are we celebrating?

The first wave that was exterminated by the second wave? Or the second wave that was exterminated by the third wave? Or just the third wave?

It’s a continuing resolution, Schumer can debate his healthcare initiatives during regular order. This shut down is strictly pussy whipped Schumer’s doing.
