Wasn’t Custer last in his class at West Point?
Yes.
If we can indulge some Minutmen lyrics here 
[I believe when they found the body of General George A. Custer
Quilled like a porcupine with Indian arrows
He didn’t die with any honor, any dignity, or any valor
I believe when they found George A. Custer
An American general, patriot, and Indian-fighter
He died with shit in his pants!](https://youtu.be/1utNM4SaO7Y?t=21)
Custer’s Last View ~ Link to Gary Larson comic.
Old joke:
An art patron commissions a portrait of Custer. The artist, no fan of George Armstrong, turns in a painting of a golden calf, surrounded by a group of fornicating Native Americans.
When the patron complained, the artist explained it was a depiction of Custer’s last thought: “Holy cow! Look at all those fucking Indians!”
Now he’s claiming that
I think you’re underestimating how much his followers esteem him. Why wouldn’t they think the fruit of the Holy One’s loins wouldn’t be a great ambassador to the UN?
“They reported what I said, and that makes me look bad! So unfair!”
Can we stop pretending that the White House visitors and other hangers on to this abomination of an administration who happen to flash an OK sign are not doing it in solidarity with white nationalists? Notice the sign that nearly every single one of them is flashing in this picture (fifth down) before they started a fight the other night in New York.
They aren’t saying, “OK”, they’re saying we are racists who are emboldened by an overtly racist regime. And so are the all the other ones who have done it and pretended it was just a coincidence.
Thanks for that second article. That was a good background on the use of the OK gesture by white supremacists. I still occasionally use it in its original meaning, but I’ve been trying to remember to use the thumbs up instead.
The cure for that is to keep your mouth shut and your phone in another room. As if.
Using it in its original context is fine. It’s this BS way they are doing it, but pretending that they aren’t when they get called out on it. Just own your racism if that’s your thing, but the attempts to play naive and gaslight around this childishness is tiresome.
Nixon: “I am not a crook!”
Thump: “I am not a baby.” (60 Minutes interview)
Glad we cleared that up.
Give it a while–they’ll co-opt that one, too.
Classic comment from Jim Wright (Stonekettle guy), in response to Shitgibbon tweet
On our way to Florida and Georgia!
If you’re in the project path, get out now. Red tides, hurricanes, now this. Disasters really do come in threes.
I’m impressed he didn’t add “Woohoo! Road trip!”
Sources reported the trip was delayed when an argument broke out over who called shotgun first.
Elizabeth Warren called Trump’s bluff by taking a DNA test which reveals she does have Native American blood. When Leslie Stahl asked him in her interview last night if he was going to pay the $1 million to Warren’s favorite charity, like he said he would if she proved she was of Native American descent, he said, "I never said that.’ Uh, yeah, there’s video, chump.
Trump has a new painting put up in the White House of dogs playing poker. Uh, I mean, Trump (thirty pounds lighter and thirty years younger) sitting around drinking and laughing with past Republican Presidents. I notice Cal Coolidge standing in the wings, I guess he didn’t make the grownups table.

The others are obviously laughing their asses off because they know they’re going to take him for all he’s worth.
