Members Khan Posted September 1, 2017 Members Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) AFAIK, too, Trump has yet to sign that check. That's what I mean when I say I doubt TrumpCo. will offer Harvey victims much help in the end. I have a feeling the state of Texas will be pretty much on its own and that that will DEFINITELY slow rebuilding efforts. What Trump wishes he could do to Comey or Mueller right about now...

Members Juliajms Posted September 1, 2017 Members Share Posted September 1, 2017 Seems like if he were going to stop DACA he would have done it today, so perhaps that's some good news to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 1, 2017 Members Share Posted September 1, 2017 You would think so...except, he pulled this same [!@#$%^&*] before going through with pardoning Buford T. Justice. Frankly, if I were a Dreamer, I wouldn't unpack my bags just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted September 2, 2017 Members Share Posted September 2, 2017 So many terrible things are happening in our country sometimes I want to shut out the rest of the world, but what is happening to the Rohingya is truly awful. http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/aljazeeraworld/2017/07/rohingya-silent-abuse-170730120336898.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 2, 2017 Members Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) And it's been going on for years now while Nobel Peace Prize winnter Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has kept silent about it. The Rohingya have basically been stateless for the past few years now. I'd always thought of Buddhism as a peaceful religion so I was shocked by the images of monks violently forcing groups of vulnerable people out of their homes.

Members Juliajms Posted September 2, 2017 Members Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Or worse. She seems to be passively supporting what's happening to them. I read she said that "ethnic cleansing" was too strong a term to use. I didn't see her condemn what is happening or urge the military to stop trying to drive them out and kill them. There was a time I would have though maybe we can take them, but we all know that's not happening in 2017. Our government is up to it's own f*ckery.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 2, 2017 Members Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) She's made multiple excuses, saying that things must be done in a methodical way and you can't force change too fast. When people are being burned out of their homes, really?? Another essential issue that might not get notice is that the skirmishes are also land grabs. The Rohingya are not only Muslim but many tend to be merchants who had thriving businesses as well as the land that the businesses occupy. To push them out, also means their property suddenly becomes available. Nevermind the fact that these people have lived on the land for at least a century, down generations yet are not considered citizens. It's shameful. When I first read about this 2-3 years ago, I thought it was barbaric and could only happen in a country where a military dictatorship had been in charge for a long time. Sadly, after this election and the aftermath of what has happened in the U.S., I am forced to think that it is no longer inconceivable for something similar to happen here.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 2, 2017 Members Share Posted September 2, 2017 An ICYMI, Kenya's Supreme Court nullified their recent election results and have ruled that a new election must take place within 60 days. By the way, fake news also loomed large during their campaign season. Kenya Supreme Court Nullifies Presidential Election Also FYI. Remember how the Trump administration has moved to weaken the EPA considerably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
