      lmao I'd forgotten how libs spent years pretending to care about cultural appropriation but then tripped over themselves to make excuses for a white lady pretending to be indigenous

        There's this tacit belief among white liberals that a brief period in the 80s/90s when universities experimented with affirmative action was the but-for cause that denied all of them access to the Ivy League -> Dream Job -> International Celebrity status.

        Elizabeth Warren is their spirit animal because she beat the system by lying on her application, something they all desperately wanted to do but were to craven to attempt themselves.

        This is literally the only defense I'll make of Warren but saying you have native ancestry because you're 1/128th indigenous is the closest white people get to culture.

        I could literally find you Facebook pages with local chuds making fun of her and comparing themselves to warrior chieftains in the same screenshot.

            That lines up with all the girls from my high school that said the same thing and a few of them definitely also used that in college applications.

    The Rock would beaugaurd the blunt and then look you in the eye and tell you with a straight face he's never smoked pot in his life and he gets high by believing in the teachings of Jesus christ and a balanced diet.

    She should should have doubled down on her indigenous heritage. Instead of getting defensive and trying to explain herself she should have started wearing a feather headdress, brandishing a tomahawk and calling all of her political opponents "paleface".

    She smells the blood in the water with her snake tongue, her opportunist senses are tingling.

    To be fair everything I've heard about the Rock is that hes extremely nice in person. Think she would die if his 250lb+ ass sat on her?

      Everything I've heard is he's a self righteous religous prick who thinks too highly of himself, his acting career, and his relationship to steroids.

        I don't know him, nor have I heard anything about him personally, but I want to believe this and it sounds typical of hollywood actors so I'm going to go ahead and believe it

          Look at him, look at him during his wrestling career. Now consider that he says he's only ever used steroids once. He's done the "I didn't inhale" thing but for roids, but he's doing it while we can see the needle dangling from his arm.

      Now I'm picturing the Rock with 250 lbs of ass crushing people like a cartoon. Thanks!

    Dude must have some fucking wild stories to tell from his WWE days, during peak Vince. Probably all cringe af but undoubtably entertaining.

    Weed is still considered a dangerous drug by the FDA, and millions of lives have been ruined for possessing it.

    Imprisoning millions upon millions of people for WEED (while encouraging alcohol use nonetheless) is deeply deeply immoral.
