led troops-loving North Dakota to disallow military ID to vote, FLORIDA already tries to disallow Military ID as ID for voting.. I took my US Government issued military retired ID card to a polling place a few years ago and was told it wasn't sufficient enough for voting because of "reasons," and was basically told I couldn't vote until I produced another "approved" ID. I did drag out an approved Drivers License and voted. After I got back home I checked the "accepted" IDs for voting, and Military ID was one of them, but that's not the wod I got at the polling place.
My scheduled rant, historically, native rights was one of the things the Republican Party was progressive on. And the needs and interests of the tribes are distinct enough that they don't necessarily fall in lockstep with the "liberal" crowd...
If it's a legit tribe, of course.
It's not tribal land NOW. The US Army made sure of that.

I'm only surprised he didn't tell them to go back where they came from.
Except as it applies to them, because if they aren't paying taxes, it's because they are smart, see, not lazy good-for-nothings /s
Give him time...

What a gross son of a bitch.
With less effort, too.
So I suppose Zinecker would be okay with giving back all the tribes’ stolen land?
I agree the reps should have voting rights.
That is obviously entirely different. I don't know why people don't see that.
The hallmark of these people is their lack of a vocabulary. They are not "conservatives", they are bigots. I wish they'd use the proper words.
Those so-called policies are generally quite mutable, except for the white supremacy and coddle the rich parts.
